I’m one of the few who absolutely enjoys it . Makes for intense downpours and storms to the lucky ones who get them. Also very great for plant growth , and it truly feels like summer !

Yeah, those late afternoon cap busters where the temp collapses 20 - 30 degrees can be the best, *IF* you're lucky enough to land under them (I'm not).

What I like about winter

- sunny crisp days in the 50s mostly , great superb stargazing weather at night !
- that’s about it
- well I suppose I enjoy swimming in the river when it’s 34 degrees , i find that to be invigorating .

I find swimming in the river when it’s 34 degrees to be insane, but to each his own… lol

I suppose it is insane , however there are benefits to it . Even helps against aging , not even kidding about that . The stress response in the body from the sudden cold water triggers the uptick in certain DNA repair enzymes . Not only way to trigger them but it is one .
 
Mini heatwave tomorrow, then back to normal! A588EE48-7FC4-4CBB-A353-8260C445AC82.png

GFS really cranks up a firehose with that ridge over the Atlantic trying to retrograde toward us with the left over trough on us/west of us around d7+, that ridge might not pump in much heat but it’ll pump in some high low level moisture and high dews
 
From FFC, even they're "grossed" out by the high dewpoints and heat indices:

SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE WORD THAT COMES TO MID IS 'GROSS' WHEN LOOKING AT THE SHORT TERM
FORECAST. DEWPOINTS HAVE ALREADY RISEN INTO THE LOW 70S, BUT BY THIS
AFTERNOON ARE EXPECTED TO RISE INTO THE MID TO UPPER 70S AS SOME
AREAS ALREADY EXPERIENCED YESTERDAY. WITH HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE LOW
TO MID 90S, THESE DEWPOINTS WILL PUSH HEAT INDICES INTO THE TRIPLE
DIGITS FOR THE 2ND OR 3RD STRAIGHT DAY (DEPENDING ON LOCATION).

Regardless, relief is on the way in about 5 days.

Any guess as to the hottest at KATL and KRDU this week?

Corrected for typo: FFC not FFS

Do you mean FFC? :p
 
It's not like this hasn't happened all year with the high res models.

What was his forecast, 100% chance of rain everywhere? I don't get it, many places missed out but many places scored big time..... typical summer time activity, probably a little more than typical with some of those cells, but anyone should know not everyone will get rain unless it's a TC or LP moving through. Even stalled out fronts produce "scattered to numerous" showers/storms, again not everyone everywhere.

So this is basically the RDU forecast area 60% coverage? Hate that it didn't rain in the big cityKRAX - Digital Storm Total Accum., 1_21 PM (1).png

I guess the high res models showed more for Raleigh.

I read one comment that stated they live in JoCo, they didn't receive any rain and her husband didn't water the plants either because of all the talk of rain... this stuff frustrates me. Some areas in JoCo got multiple inches, look at a radar every once in a while, look outside, figure it out stop blaming, good grief, I'll stop.

Yes and less for other areas, anyone who takes any model verbatim down the street address is almost always going to be disappointed. The models can't pinpoint exact storm locations

Imbyism is getting out of hand and I hate it for TV mets who are particularly more exposed to the public. Additionally just water the damn plants you aren't going to hurt them if it rains. I had to get up at 230 and run outside and fight an owl to turn off the sprinklers this morning

It's funny most hires models were pretty meager here yesterday. I bet if you had put the heavy rain axis over wake last night there would have been wall to wall coverage of ponded water on capital blvd and the talk would be how much rain the area received

This is true. I bet there are some folks around Angier that have had more than enough rain while your house in particular has had little. Its just assumed that every area has been hit by a storm if it's been in your vicinity. So not the case....
