GaWx Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Due to an inverted trough, heavy showers are occurring in the area moving from off the ocean including here. Rain started just after 8AM. Edit on 8/9: I ended up with ~1” on 8/8, almost all falling between 8AM and 10AM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I Got a few drops last evening when that storm over Durham looked so powerful and I Was like great we will get some rain, but just enough to dampen the road here. It died just about 3/4 miles to my west. Thunder was nice and continuous though for a little while. MTD: .51" here so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach McGuirk Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 At 2pm, the NWS Wakefield said today was mostly sunny. Now, we're under a severe thunderstorm warning. And another line of the severe storms headed my way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbmclean Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 And of course the line of storms is collapsing on cue. Not that it would have amounted to much, with it being a thin line and fast moving, but the quadrant of the RAH CWA from Raleigh, east to me, and north, cannot get jack doodly to fire for the past week. Yeah, there is no mesoscale focus and we're too far east for the piedmont trough cells to hit us and we're too far north for the sea breeze front. But with so much heat and moisture leading to instability, you'd think cells wouldn't just shrivel up and die every time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthHillsWx Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Fairly pleasant outside this evening. “Only” made it to 89.6 and heat index never got above 92 with tolerable DPs in the 60s. Tomorrow is back to the oven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 After a decent low of 70, we soared all the way to 97 today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 After an official airport high of an awful 97, I was on the road in the middle of a full-fledged severe thunderstorm in the SW SAV metro area along and near US-17 and GA 204 ~6-6:15PM. It was about the most ferocious storm I’ve experienced so far this summer with high winds, some of the worst CTG lightning I’ve seen this summer, and blinding torrential rain. It was a doozy with Ma Nature showing off her wild side. There were some fallen trees nearby per reports. When I got home it was raining heavily though nothing like what I saw earlier. My home also had a popup earlier. Total rainfall today was >1”, which was very nice to see! Edit: I ended up with ~1.05” on 8/13. This brings my MTD to an AN 4.55” through 8/15. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Just for the novelty I took this shot with my scope in Eure, NC of the August 12th solar eclipse. Here it was 1.13% obscuration at the peak. Obviously there was nothing on the ground anyone could notice but fun to see just how far from totality the partial phases extend.
