Hot enough for you? -- the sequel (forecast contest)
CAPE replied to Roger Smith's topic in Mid Atlantic
Not seeing a significant signal on the means for a big SE ridge to develop and park. As long as the upper ridging generally stays to our west, we might be able to escape 100 degree heat. I am sure there will be a brief excursion or 2 regardless, at least for the UHI areas like DC. -
It might help to inhibit lift, minimizing the cold rain.
-
In the woods, its kinda difficult to ideally place the weather station. I placed it in the ideal spot for accurate rain readings, so it isn't under the trees. Still a decent spot for temp readings, although it does get into direct sun for a time.
-
My house is directly in the woods. My station is a few feet off the ground behind the house. I like having a secondary sensor that is always in the shade- makes it easy to detect any errors due to sun soaking on the station sensor. Shielding/fan aspiration is the way to go to avoid high temp readings due to direct sun though.
-
Easton is almost always warmer than here. Greensboro and Goldsboro are literally a few farm fields apart lol. My station sensor has a shield, plus its only briefly in direct sun in mid/late morning. I have a secondary temp sensor on the north side of the house I use for reference.
-
Yes it was less humid today for sure. Locally there is no downsloping here though. He is a few miles NE of me, and its all flat and rural, and no direct bay breeze impacts. Just seems odd there would be a 5 degree difference without some sort of frontal boundary around, or a difference in cloud cover.
-
That seems high. 86 here currently. Your sensor in direct sun? Or maybe its the Goldsboro UHI.
-
Its warm out there, but a tad less humid than yesterday.
-
My grass sure is feeling the effects of transpiration from all the trees. Not lookin' too good.
-
We know what ya meant.
-
That's the view from the end of my driveway. I am in the woods, so I cant see much of anything this time of year. In general though it is wide open around here with all the farms and no hills, so chases to get cool photos of storms are easy. I have collected quite a few dramatic shelf cloud shots over the years.
-
Looks like another miss here. Its weakening on approach too. Might get a few pity drops lol.
-
Its gonna be close. Pretty cool looking storm though.
-
Here is my view of that line of storms sinking southward. Pretty noisy. Hopefully the western edge will clip my yard.
-
Sounds like my yard. 86 here now.
-
89/72 Haven't quite made it to 90 here. Feels full on summer out there though. Still not seeing indications of a stretch of hideous heat- mid to upper 90s- on the means. Looks like typical summer for here. 85-90, with generally moderate humidity levels, over the next week or so.
-
Good read @NorthArlington101 Congrats.
-
Incognito used to work on most sites, but now I usually get the white screen of death as soon as I click on a link to something of interest. That said, I just copied/pasted the link from the WP article and it actually worked this time, lol.
-
Had about 12 drops here lol. Looking dry. Bring on the Saharan dust.
-
Looks like Easton may get hit pretty good, looking at the trajectory of that line of storms crossing the bay.
-
Be careful. Your area is in the slight risk for severe. Watch this, just to be sure you have a healthy respect for large scale electrical arcing, as I know you do on the smaller scale stuff. Btw, when I teach multi-meter use, amazing how many people don't have a clue about the Cat ratings. Same thing in general with interrupting ratings with fuses. Lol seriously tho, this is a cool vid.
-
We still have a decent chance late this afternoon into tonight. Coverage wont be great, but there will be places that will get a gusty t-storm, and a quick half inch or so of rain. Mesos don't look bad for our general area.
-
I am about to give up lol. I will wear out my well pump trying to save my grass. Go through this every summer. I will just let nature take its course and reseed/overseed in another month or so when the sun angle is noticeably lower. My grass only looks good from mid April through mid June, and then again(after seeding) from September until it goes dormant. In Mid to late summer, forget it. Burned up, thatch city.
-
Have had some periodic clouds here too. Otherwise it would be 90 for sure. It is pretty oppressive tho.

WP and other news sources give you a few freebies per month, then you have to subscribe. I used to play the game of deleting cookies, but in most cases you have to clear everything, which effs with logon info and profile settings for sites I care much more about, so not doing that
