And Fresh?This heat is dead af!
And Fresh?This heat is dead af!
I think we might be safe from 100 from GSP over to CLT metro the rest of this week, but I’m growing more convinced that next week is gonna be the real deal. I still think that Euro run from earlier today showing widespread 110-112 was over doing it a bit, but I think widespread 102-108 east of the mountains is certainly doable.Interesting day today with the forecast vs actual. Many of us benefited from the MCS. For me personally, I had some clouds keeping me in the 70s until noon, then the clouds left and the temps soared to the lower 90s; no rain. Hight at GSP and CLT were 91 and 90. CAE was very interesting; in the 70s and 80s most of the day with rain and clouds, BUT managed to it 90 this am before the rain... at 9:13 am!
We may have all dodged a bullet today but we may be in for it tomorrow; though my forecast has dropped to 97 tomorrow, lol. If GSP manages to get through next week without hitting 100 I'll be very impressed. Stay cool friends!
0z GFS continued the theme next week... in fact, some near 110 Temps in SC with crazy low dewpoint readings... crazy, it's catching up to close to what the crazy EURO Temps popped up on last night's 0z run.generally i'm a little skeptical of the modeled heat next week, as we all should be, but at the same time- every dog has its day. ask somebody in seattle or portland how "oh that's ridiculous, it won't be that hot" turned out last year
and I'm not going to lie you can't really script a better heatwave. blob of ultra-high 850s rotating around the ridge into our neck of the woods, some downsloping, no precip risk, low surface dews from the stale canadian air mass that hasn't really had any chance to advect any moisture over. sun angle? literally can't be higher in the sky. next wednesday is the literal longest day of the year. it's pretty devious. next week is really gonna suck
I think it was 2019.When was the last time KATL recorded a temp >=100?

We escaped the worst yesterday with the clouds and thunderstorms around the area. Went walking last night around 8 pm and it wasn't too bad out. Hoping for sweat rain salvation this afternoon, too!This heat is dead af!
FFC says 100 for Atlanta, so let’s see if we get there today.FFC is forecasting 99 here for this afternoon. Would be one the hottest afternoon of the last several years if it happens.
FYI, the HRRR was a complete fail job with yesterday's MCS across Western SC and Siuthern GA. Failed to pick it up even as it was ongoing.Ummm someone is wrong today.

83 over 77DP here right now... probably the most oppressive humidity I've ever felt here.
Gotta go to the Caribbean or Miami to cool off. ?EPS mean for next Wednesday. Brutal for the whole boardView attachment 119211
i bet it cool on top of Mount Mitchell.Gotta go to the Caribbean or Miami to cool off. ?
It's also worth noting that 26-28°C 850 hPa temps would smash record highs per sounding climatology.0z Eps mean has back to back 100s here that's impressive especially at this lead. The op has backed off the roughly 28c 850s it was showing down to around 26c which is still incredible for our area but might keep the 110s from happening and many locations in the 102-106range (small victories I guess). The only bugaboo to getting extreme heat will be the potential for some debris clouds directed in from the west and maybe a decaying MCS (see yesterday for how that can impact heat, 100 is hard to do around here much like 6+ inches of snow any limiting factor and it won't happen)
If I had to throw some numbers out I would go 103 Tuesday at RDU 105 Wednesday and 98 Thursday. I think someone in the Goldsboro to Fayetteville to Maxton heat corridor in NC pushes close to 108-109 Wednesday
