nrgjeff Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 SPC does have Day 3 slight. WRAL is talking about an elevated risk of severe weather in central and eastern NC this Saturday. I haven't seen anything here about it, though. They mention local wind and marginal hail. I like the omission or the T word. Back veer back issues should limit the tornado threat. The 0-1km shear may be pretty good; it's the one reason I don't say eliminate tornado threat. Still believe Carolina residents can rest easy this weekend.

Brick Tamland Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I need to cut the grass again but it doesn't look like it will be dry enough this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburns Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Up to 9,369 today. Pretty amazing numbers there considering the previous all-time record was only 6,013. Well it's obvious that there are not suddenly 50% more grass and trees so I, of course, have a theory. It's a good news, bad news thing. The bad news is already occurring of course with the record pollen counts. The good news is it should be a shorter than normal allergy season. My reasoning is this. The quick and prolonged change to uninterrupted abnormally warm weather has caused everything to bloom at once. Plants that normally bloom in March, April and even some in early May are all coming out at once. I have a lot of old well established azaleas that have always bloomed from mid April into early May. Right after the Masters. They are well on their way to full bloom. There has always been a progression through the different types but this year they are all coming out at the same time. I look for the pollen counts to probably be lower than normal by mid to late April. Here are a few pics of some of my azaleas from several years ago.

dsaur Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Mr. Burns, I like your theory. I think you are on to something. My hope is we will get 90's and 100's out of the way in April and May then 70's and 60's in June and July, and finally, winter begins in August with sleet and zrain thru Sept, and snow falling as well, starting in Oct.!! This is the kind of acceleration of weather patterns I'm hoping for Nice bloomers, by the way. My azaleas were amazing two years ago, but last year not so much and they are only putting out a few blooms so far this year. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LithiaWx Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Beautiful azaleas. I have a few blooms this year but nothing fantastic. The dogwoods and cherry blossoms on the other hand are amazing this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw several lightning bugs last night! Toads are hopping about the yard, but not singing yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psalm 148:8 Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 What beautiful day the Lord has made! No yellow car, beautiful green grass, budding trees, azaleas starting to bloom, and mid 70s with bountiful sunshine! All the Earth declares His glorious name. Sc/nc folks...looks like your time will arrive tomorrow....hoping you get enough rain to ease the pollen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavarreDon Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Well we are off to the FL Panhandle in the morning. Can't wait to get some fishing & beaching done! Wish I could make the gathering but, duty calls. Hope someone will provide some pbp for those of us who can't make it. You all have a great time.
