Holy Moly, 98 with 104 HI at 4 PM at Hunter Field, near SAV, which are both just about the highest in the entire SE. Not quite as hot as the hottest of the May heatwave yet but higher dewpoints bringing the HI a few degrees higher than May for the most part. Walking must be inside. Thank goodness for AC!

Currently: pouring rain!! ?????????????????

Yeah you are getting crushed. Share the love. That little shower is parked on top of West Georgia!
Liking this only for the map, not the high HI. Thanks for posting that. A pic is worth a thousand words.
I just checked my home therm at 4:30 PM and sure enough it was 97.5 with no cooling seabreeze yet and mainly sunny with only a few cumulus.

I'm liking it for the like ...
The setup is looking nice from as early as late Wednesday through Sunday with the area on the northern expanse of the ridge early then on the southern edge of the trough late. Plenty of disturbances to move through if I miss out on this then I just give up

We might get lucky here in western NC tomorrow with a weak lee trough, while NAM is likely overdoing instability, I don’t see how storms would die off in this environment, nam/hrrr did the same thing yesterday were they killed of storms to soon), but 500mb temps are definitely warmer, as for severe wx, ofc with large Dcape/mid level drying some isolated downbursts could occur

Synoptic-scale descent & lack of large-scale forcing, low background relative humidities, fairly meh mid-level lapse rates, and weak deep layer shear will be impediments to getting long-lasting t'storms.
Yep, unfortunately they will be very pulse like, probably gonna be that one isolated storm that looks like it’s gonna hit you, then collapses just after it develops, but yeah that those not so good lapses between 500-700mb will be a issue and the nam typically has dew points to high, so the boundary layer will likely be more mixed out then it shows

Storms will probably be very isolated in nature around here like they have been 99% of the time the past few years.
I just realized I caught the “life cycle” of lightning
1. Leader bout to hit the ground
2. Leader hits the ground (CTG lightning)
3.
2 return strokes of lightning
Conclusion - i wouldn’t want to get hit by that, leader then return strokes would electrify you, many people think it’s one strike then boom, but there’s more to it, note this was from the storm anvil, which can often have positive lightning, which is even more stronger
