July Surprise!

[Dewpoint Dan]

Anyone think we should make a thread for the potential heatwave next week or keep it in the July thread?

the heat wave has already begun. Many locations across the south under Heat Advisories.

Not tryna jinx it but today looks good for big storms that come off the mountains, mid level LRs around 6.5, 2000-3000jkg of SBcape and a little increase in effective bulk shear to around 15-20kts should allow multicells to get going

At work, can someone post nam/hrrr images for storms today. Tornadoes, large hail, etc squall winds

Yeah, today is looking like a tor-con 10, for sure.

Can't wait to watch this wither away as it moves east

As much as I'd like to believe this to be true, modeling has failed as wayyyy to much this year.

Some personal weather stations per Wunderground are reporting these observations.

I think there something wrong with this station now looking at other OBS but it’s lower than it was

Well I just checked my station and I'm at 89/77 so that isn't far off

Other close one shows 90/76 with a feel like of 102

That dew point seems way to high per surrounding obs.

Already got showers getting going

Don't want to jinx it but today feels like a typical NC summer day. Storms already forming in the higher terrain and Piedmont. Hopefully, we can see some more widespread coverage of storms. Wish GSP radar wasn't down though.

Cool to watch these summer storms grow

Yeah I've noticed that both of my stations often spike dews early in the day particularly after a heavy rain/dew/watering then as that water is evaporated from the surface and mixing starts they fall back to surrounding obs. I have 1 at 8 ft and 1 at 6 feet not sure if that's too low and they need to be raised or what. Just using today as an example they maxed out near 80 on the dew but have fallen back to 73.
