Pattern Ablazing August

It's where all the cool people live. ?

GSP isn't far from Charlotte so they are well represented
Ummm no... Charlotte is one of the most populous areas of the US without good radar coverage from the 88d's. It actually played a part in a unwarned destructive tornado that hit the northeastern parts of the city back in 2012. They improved it some by lowering the lowest tilt on the gsp radar from 0.5 to 0.2 degrees but it still lacks good low level coverage.
 
he’s talking to you @smast16 the cracks in your ground are going to love a good flash flood .. for everyone else .. more problems than solutions

Yes, given that it has been raining everyday here, the last thing I want to see is a tropical system :(
About to go mow a sopping wet yard before it rains yet again.
 
So far today is progressing a lot like yesterday . 1 degree warmer right now than it was yesterday , looks solid for another 95+ day.
I wonder why we didn't have a significant heat wave thread for this one? Oh wait.... it didn't include Atlanta, that's why silly me

Very similar cape values as well being progged later, along with even steeper mid level lapse rates then yesterday, any storm that gets going today is gonna have quite the explosive updraft along with a microburst threat 15801407-7A93-4422-8DAD-A08DFB264572.gif3725C6BE-8084-4B13-A14E-9A54ADADD052.gif

I know you love it but these ridiculously humid days/night have that cumulative effect, night time lows progressively warmer... it was misery out there on my run this morning.

edit: looks like tomorrow's highs been bumped up too so most likely will be a 3rd heat advisory before some very slight relief over the weekend thanks to more showers/storms
 
93/75 heat index 105 , 2 degrees higher than this time yesterday with a dew 1 degree higher . Does that mean we hit 99 today? :p

I was in Apex the past couple of days and that was some of the hottest heat indicted I’ve felt since the time I lived in Columbia.
 
Hrrr lacks coverage but uncaps things around 23z (sounding around CLT) with steep mid level lapse rates/drying aloft and large cape/DCAPE, like yesterday if any small forcing agent (ofb) sets something off, then strong pulse/severe pulse convection is possible, you can kinda see a response on the hrrr but it doesn’t get it tall FF684592-BD8B-457B-A6F9-5AA6CBF08B37.png8D708E86-B5C3-488F-9C49-DA97E12F9964.png

Where are heavy totals favored ? East or west of 95?
Sat and Sunday likely Va border/Nw piedmont Monday our area. Hard to find a trigger for our area east other than the typical summer factors until Monday. Once we start firing off rounds of storms to our NW though we might luck into an old ofb from the previous day but with a strong S flow it'll be hard to get them well SE

I'm not impressed. It'll all shift east of US1 in a day or two.
 
Remember when a certain poster quoted my posts a couple weeks ago about the heat
I think I was one of the ones who may have quoted ! To tell you on the backside of the cool down we may heat up again. It’s hot alright tho short lived .
