So officially, reports coming in show anywhere between 5-6" of rain from Michael here.
-
Impressively, radar estimates shows a widespread 3-5"+ of rain across Metro Atlanta, with the highest amounts along / NW of I-85. There may not have been tropical storm winds, but the precipitation amounts certainly overachieved.
-
That guy (Reynolds Wolf) stays job hopping. He was on CNN before TWC, and I remember when he was in Detroit back in the late 90s / early 2000s on WDIV.
-
I'm out of town right now, so it's going to be crazy to know I Ieft with partly cloudy skies on Monday and will return with partly cloudy skies on Friday given this is coming through in between, although the worst still looks to past just to the SE.
-
It might have bern Irma.
-
Well that escalated quickly... Was it Maria that had also undergone rapid intensification last year before it slammed Georgia?
-
HA! So the record high at ATL today was 90*F. And of course, after 4 90*F+ days in a row, we fall 1 degree shy of the record with a high of 89*F.
-
ATL made it to 93*F today.
-
ATL achieved a high of 92*F today, while the record high was 95*F.
-
And the 12z GGEM has joined the club.
-
And so it begins. 12z GFS backs off on the cold front next weekend, and it's even pumping another 588+ dm ridge by the end of its run. 850mb temps never get below 12*C here.
-
EURO's already starting to show signs of cancelling next weekend's cold front.
-
Get used to it. It's going to be a hot weekend.
-
The record high of 91*F today at ATL was in fact tied.
-
ATL also hit 90*F yesterday. The first time since 1954. Record high today is 91*F (also set back in 1954), which could be in jeopardy.
-
Was there ever a chance?
-
The grid officially calls for 90'*F here on Friday, and 88*F on Thursday and Saturday.
-
FWIW, the humidity has dropped off a bit. Dewpoints are now in the low 60s, lol.
-
What were the winters of 1921-1922 and 1925-1926 like? They seem to be the common denominators with all of these records being broken.
-
Looks like 69*F will do it for the minimum low this month at ATL. Crazy! And we could even make a run at 90*F by the middle of this upcoming week.
-
So scratch that. The high was actually 88*F. Record high was 92*F, set back in 1941.
-
The high so far has been 87*F at ATL. No rain today. After the mid-level clouds mixed out and shifted SE during the mid-late morning hours, it's been sunny with SCT culumus clouds. Dewpoints a bit lower too, in the upper 60s.
-
Had thunderstorms in the vicinity for the past 3 days. Should maybe get a break today. Interestingly enoughh, ATL overachieved Tuesday and Wednesday with highs of 88*F and 89*F. And even with highs now mainly in the low/mid 80s, average highs are now in the upper 70s and lows are still well above average (around 70*F).
-
GGEM pops a massive 594+ DM ridge over NC by the end of its run (240hr).
-
So that means even less model downtime, because by the time the 18z / 06z EURO likely finishes, the 00z / 12z NAM will likely rolling. Plus, it will be hourly data up to 90hrs and 3-hourly data from 93 to 144hrs.
