  1. Enhanced risk for most tommorow, primarily wind driven. Since the enhanced category was introduced in 2015, RAH hasn't been under one during the month of August
  2. Although it's disappointing that the mountains will prevent more significant rainfall today, it's nice to see a forecast high in the 70s. This brings to an end a 42 day streak of highs at 80 or higher, which is fairly close to the average for the longest stretch of the year
  3. True, although water temps still certainly a limiting factor, even with such crazy anomalies.
  4. On the plus side, we are now more than halfway through the hottest 90 days of the year. Also...a slow decline towards the winter solstice.
  5. It did some restructuring and now it has a double eyewall that it will likely maintain through landfall. Pretty neat stuff!
  6. I nominate this one for strangest looking cyclone of the year
  7. https://mrcc.purdue.edu/gismaps/cntytorn# Seems to be the first time (unless maybe that fishy looking one right on the border)
  8. From the live stream survey cam
  9. Fortunately it mostly passed through farmland. Brattleboro (population ~500) may have taken a direct hit though.
  10. Also...a friendly reminder to change out your HVAC filters. They're probably pretty gross!
  11. I was surprised to wake up to a very smokey morning. Definitely one of the smokiest days yet, and the HRRR seems to back this up. Is anyone in Georgia experiencing particularly dense smoke?
  12. I count only three - Ruth (1965), Winona (1989), & Ruth (1994). This is counting storms that passed within 100 miles of HI, & is inexact based on the crossover longitude as the NOAA doesn't display them. Winona is perhaps the most impressive in that it formed East of Hawaii and struck the Philippines as a tropical depression.
  13. I'll just say, I wouldn't be standing that close
  14. Pretty awesome outflow boundary!
  15. Sunday looking not only hot but also sticky. A rude awakening from a nice start to summer
  16. I was just looking at this! These things are so hard to predict. They almost always fizzle once they hit the mountains and we get the scraps. But we are in an interesting spot just on the northern edge of the heat dome.
  17. Another way to measure our cool start to the warm months:
  18. At GSO, the percentage of years in which the first 90 degree day falls in each month are as follows: March:1.7% April: 18.6% May: 45.8% June: 30.5% July: 3.4% (4 years out of 118) Funnily enough, 2 out of the 4 years that made it to July were 2017 & 2020, and we haven't had a March or April date since 2006. It's going to be really close to making it to July, with a forecast high of 89 on Friday.
  19. Spaghetti plots going to be messy! May have to move away from showing the individual members.
  20. I think that cell moving over North Wilkesboro is going to be the one to watch for the Triad. Hard to say if there will be more spread between cells as the HRRR depicts or if it will eventually form a fragmented line like the hires NAM.
