The August 21, 2017 Great American Eclipse
eyewall replied to ice1972's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
It is an experience I will never forget! I ended up not far from the centerline in Williamston, SC: -
I am going to be near Lake Murray, SC for it but to say I am nervous about a Cu field or showers/storms would be an understatement. Ideally there would be a TC just far enough away to put the area in a subsidence zone surrounding it. I only wish I could go back out west where it is almost guaranteed to be dry along with a stunning landscape.

Thank you for the tips for sure. So much can go wrong for sure so it makes me nervous. I have eclipse glasses ordered and I was debating an attempt at flying but not sure how many people I will be surrounded by. As for ground shots I would be doing more landscape during totality. Where I plan on being is near the center line but not exact. Still over 2 min 30 seconds of totality. How long was the eclipse you saw? Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

Yeah it was a dud either way. Here is to hoping for better luck when I venture south for next month's solar eclipse.
-
Yeah it was hard to tell any glow from light pollution but yeah if it was there it wasn't worth the mosquito bites lol.
-
Meteorologically I made the right call but it was a bust as expected. I only wish i caught the surprise g3 in May. Ahh well the wait begins for another shot. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

Yeah it just hit with piss poor timing. I will see if there is a lousy green arc at least. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

I am at the dam at the Waterbury reservoir. I know it will like my bust but we shall see Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

Any thoughts here before it gets dark?

On the off chance I can see something I will be charged and ready Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

That is essentially the dream shot Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

Even if the storm were to hold it will be a big battle with the next system coming out of Ontario.

You really need a G5 for power issues. I wanted to get the drone up for aerial shots. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

G2 in progress now with a south bz. Ugh we are missing it.
-
Damn it! screwed by a daytime hit
-
If the rest of this summer is any indication we will probably be screwed by clouds here but I have my fingers crossed. it will be a race against time tomorrow night with the next approaching system.
-
There was a G3 last night. Nothing like waking up to find out you missed it. Aurora seen down to Mass.
-
I am hoping this one produces as it actually looks like we have a shot at clear enough skies to see something. That and it will get warm so you won't have to freeze out there watching it. Finally the moon is reasonably favorable with moonrise at 1am or so.

Not sure what is going on but there is no geomagnetic storm ongoing. Sent from my VS987 using Tapatalk

The IMF angle needs to go south but it looks like it may be G3 now.

Clouded in here. I got the alarm on my phone but screwed by the clouds
-
I was out and didn't catch more than a faint glow, but apparently things picked up around 11pm after I went back home and clouds started coming in.
-
Nice! I hope we can get some clearing for this one.
-
Too many clouds here but apparently it did go pretty good during the early morning hours.
