Didn't make 90 today imby sad this is an achievement
It seems to me that with this much northwest flow we have had and are getting later, that the ring of fire would have set up somewhere, but it just is not happening. Those MCS' are nowhere to be found so far and no real signs of them showing up.
You’re welcome, jrips.
We’ll get an early test of the two models today. (Note that I just corrected errors in my earlier post where I said the highs were for KATL when they’re really for KPDK (NE ATL station/Chamblee for those who don’t know)).
For today at KPDK/Chamblee, the 0Z GFS has a high of 100 vs only 93 for the 0Z/6Z Euro, a whopping 7 F cooler on day 1! FFC is going in between with mid 90s, which I bet will do well.
At 11AM it was 88 in Chamblee. The 0Z GFS had 90 for then vs the 0Z/6Z Euro’s 86. So, it’s currently halfway between.
Verification of today’s high at KPDK (NE Atlanta/Chamblee):
Today’s 0Z GFS had 100; 0Z Euro had 93
Actual was 95, meaning actual was in between but 0Z Euro closer:

I'd like to see that ridge center back over the 4 corners area...just a tad west.If we can get here it'll be the strat of the mcs party as we establish a nice thera E gradient and start zipping energy down the troughView attachment 173607
wonderful
Yeah, I don't buy the 100s+ way out. But even so, it's going to be hot and humid, with many temps in the mid-upper 90s and heat indexes probably near or over 100 for a good long time. Just unrelenting. Hoping for another backdoor front near the first of the new month.Euro had one day of extreme 850s most days were 21-23c which recently has translated to 95-97 minus at the rdu airport. Op euro has also had the tendency to over heat 2mT over the last few years only to walk it back in the last 72 hours
Isn't "apparent temp" basically HI? If so these might be legitimate. If not, I don't think this will happen for actual temps.

They keep getting in on pop up storms even if 99% of the state does not see them. There have been 5-6 times only 1-2 storm show up in SC but were around CAE.Isn't "apparent temp" basically HI? If so these might be legitimate. If not, I don't think this will happen for actual temps.
GSP 90 degree day streak now 32 for third all time and just one day behind 2nd place from 1999. If we don't break it tomorrow or Thursday we will be into the 40s before the next possible shot. Forecast for each of the next 2 days is 89 but I don't think we have any realistic shot of staying below 90. Will take sustained heavy cloud cover or storms and that's not been happening. What a rediculous pattern this is and it's only July 22nd.
BTW, CAE has not been below 75 since the 13th and has not been below 70 since June 8th. Interestingly, as hot as its been, they've only reached 100 once, which is below average for them.
Wilmington has dipped to 71 but is back up a degree right now. We will continue our 70+ streak but it feels like fall outside with a temp of 71 and dp of 69.........that's my guage of how horrible this summer has been. When your DP is around 70 and that feels comfortable then it's been hot for too long.The RDU Inferno Gauge has 69 on it. So their streak is over.
Good news for those of us in the summer can't end fast enough crowd. We've lost our 8 weeks of twilight as we roll into work. 1st sign I use to gauge Summer is on the slow downhill slope. HS/College football practice kicks into high gear in one week. Then it's Cane season. Hang in there, Labor day is only about 38ish days away.
