Pattern June Presented by: Heat and Humidity

And of course, my area finally gets a direct hit from a strong t'storm when I'm out of town (Detroit)...

When I was a kid I lived in Goldsboro (..Dad in Air Force). You can add that place to the corridor. I think it's the sandy soil and flat terrain.

I always remember when I was growing up that whenever the Carolinas had our worst heatwaves, the Charlotte area would be around 100, but that corridor from Columbia to Raleigh would always be 104-107. I always wondered why that area seemed to get a few degrees hotter

yeah, Raleigh can get into the eastern Carolina heat. There's times it can be hotter than the eastern areas. I think it's because the sea breeze front gets right to the Wake County boarder and then fizzles with the nighttime "cooling" (or stabilization).
 
Let’s see what those storms do as they head East, better cape here but more suppressive effects of a little ridge today
 
I drove from Charlotte to Charleston this afternoon from about 1pm to 4. Was 90 in Charlotte when I left. Crazy how the temps were 96 to 100 from Columbia to North Charleston, then when I crossed the bridges into Mt pleasant temp was only 84.

I can't imagine where it was 96....o_O

Looks like KATL had its second 90F day. I reached 88F at my house, warmest of the year.
 
scary tonight for Wilkes tonight poss dual night time tornadoes ? when thunder roars go indoors 3C76585A-CEBE-4710-BA41-41976AFA4BD0.jpeg
 
Question is will... these storms actually make into Charlotte? Short answer no, they won't. We'll have a dust storm in 2 hours. Buuutttt, one can dream, right? ? Edit: I know we're nowhere near a drought, it just get tiring watching storms go *poof* over CLT.

Can waterspouts form over Kerr Scott Dam west of Wilkesboro?

Are you asking if a tornado can form over a dam? Or are you just yanking our chain, because you know that waterspouts generally occur over a large body of water? Aka... not a dam...
 
Looks like I was right. Hickory NC storms firing up and now warnings coming into Shelby NC from upstate SC
 
May keep forming south to include Conover and western Iredell..
 
If they made a sitcom about Charlotte and it's magical ability to avoid storms it would go something like this...

Radar- Line of storms making a B-line right towards Charlotte.

Real life- Nah... we're just messing. You don't even get a light mist.

Radar- Oh look, Wadesboro and Albermarle look promising, let all hell break loose.

All of CLT: WTH just happened?
 
Barely a drop here. Heavy rain less than 2 miles away. Gonna be like this all summer it looks like. Gonna have to wait for a hurricane I guess to get good rain here.

In the words of John McEnroe many moons ago, you cannot be serious: this chart shows Jonesville, SC, at the 90 percentile for wettest June 20th (over 2” of extra water in the soil vs average). There is no impending doom like you’re suggesting. It sounds silly to complain and say otherwise right now. Your area is at a much higher risk for flooding than drought. Here is the truth:

Why does the NWS frequently put out a HWO to state that no hazardous weather is expected at any point in the foreseeable future?

Why not issue a Fair Weather Outlook and say that happy weather conditions will dominate through the period?

Because weather is dynamic and majority of weather is happy.
