weatherwiz Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 23 minutes ago, wx_observer said: What's so odd is that most of them didn't come through to put an end to a stretch of really hot, humid 90+ degree weather. That's usually what drives most of the severe storms around here, if it's not a remnant of a hurricane anyway. Actually, that is more what it reminds me of. How a transitioning tropical storm might kick off severe weather. That has been a product of weak fronts really. But overall, I don't think we've had many major severe weather events which have occurred to end heat waves or break high humidity. Sure there have been a few, but for the most part we're dealing with pretty poor lapse rates and weak shear during those stretches...or when strong fronts approach stronger shear is lacking behind the front. Setups like today or going to become more common moving forward. Anytime we have summers with above-average SST's and are surging dewpoints into the lower or mid 70's with strong troughs with great shear moving through these setups will be several times occurring.

klw Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 .70 today and the .17 yesterday brings up over 8 inches on the month. 8.78 so far in August after 15.08 in July and 8.46 in June. (32.32 in less than 3 months) With 23.86 since the start of July, it means I have averaged 1/2 inch per day for 6 weeks now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been pouring rain and their sprinkler system has been on....same people who will snow blow around their cars and then remove the snow from their cars...so they then have to use the snow blower for a 2nd time to remove the snow around the cars....takes them hours to do a driveway that can hold 4 vehicles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

America! we used to have irrigation in our old house and there is a cork rain sensor that swells when it's wet and is supposed to shut the system off. Maybe their cork sensor is shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwiz Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 1 minute ago, WxWatcher007 said: The underrated days produce. Wow. These setups are tough. If you're not a forecaster doing day-to-day forecasting these setups probably just go unrecognized because they aren't the "big" setups. They are also tough because it's not like they produce every time. It all comes down to just getting enough CAPE in the lowest few km combined with the right amount of shear. There really is no "threshold" either too for value. Ultimately, it's dependent on whether a convective updraft can become mature enough to utilize the ingredients. But looking at mesoanalysis this morning, you had a pocket of 150 m2s2 of 0-1km helicity combined with 100+ J of 3km CAPE. That's a pretty solid combination, especially with LCL's around 500m. Warm front probably provided enough llvl lift and inflow was drawing in from the high theta-e air. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
