Looks like once again, NE flow from a wedge should tamp down any flood threat that Beta would otherwise bring. Also fast moving. Lots of parallels to Sally really, just a weaker system.
Edit: It does look like there are some dynamics at play. Frontogenisis with a transfer of the low to the coast. Probably up towards the VA border. Has some serious winter storm vibes. DC special if this were January
September should be the start of soup season and by that I certainly do not mean atmospheric soup. The good news? We're only a week away from the average latest 90 degree day
Meanwhile the Wpac, which has hit peak climo, had been completely quiet. It must be near record low at the moment.
Does anyone know if the two basins often have an inverse correlation?
Today or tomorrow might be our first 90 degree day in Greensboro, which would be our fourth latest on record behind:
July 2nd (1983)
July 5th (2017)
July 18th (1972)
Two days in a row, GSO hit 89. Still no 90 degree day. Saturday could be our last chance to hit the mark until around June 20th, which would be rather unusual.
The hires models are showing a band setting up and training over one area somewhere in the Piedmont. Wherever it gets stuck is going to get pounded with at least 2-4" through tommorow morning.
