Hey Duke what you think about possible mischief in the Gulf about a week from now with a front driving south


I haven't look at it with enough detail but a little bit of spin isn't unthinkable with the trough coming in next week.

The good news is Barry worked over our part of the gulf and it's running below average temp wise. So any possible spin isn't going to have nearly the heat Barry had to work with.

You’re out of your element here son.

This years weather has been a little abnormal as far as temperatures, rain and what not.

Where have you been?


I’m sure it has... in places. It’s always abnormal in one place or another. In other places it’s pretty normal. Where I am it’s been a bit warmer and dryer than usual. We still get the afternoon thunderstorms. But not as many as usual so far.

One of those 124ers, here.

We went almost 4 months to start the year where it rained or snowed every single weekend. And definitely had weeks where it rained 5-6 days and not just the occasional pop up storm.

You know, the fact the river has been in flood all year should be a signal maybe there has been a lot of rain over the past 12 months across the eastern half of the country.




Just goes to show how many people are actually aware of their environment I guess. They just chalk it up to “the south”.

Blocking high over Greenland causing troughiness in the East. We just had a surge of moisture from Barry that will keep dewpoints up for a while. Just a wet pattern.

Pattern setups like these happen in a dynamic and fluid atmosphere. It does seem like those patterns are more amplified in recent years. The wet periods are extremely wet and the dry periods extremely dry. Same with hot/cold.

We aren’t even a full month into summer.

Pump the breaks Shifter. It’s been an early season so far.

Pay more attention.

That map is shite. I posted the current drought map of Alabama as of July 9 and almost half the state is abnormally dry. Here is the link again.

Why is it raining so much this year?

In April, the U.S. set a record for the wettest 12 month period in history. According to new government data, that record lasted all of a month.

The National Centers for Environmental Information released its monthly climate report on Thursday. The state of the American climate: absolutely soaking

If y’all could just put in a word with whoever is making the weather to stop sending mini hurricanes over DFW that would be great.

Lol

You’re an idiot for different reasons but you’re really making yourself look bad in this thread.

It's been parked up there since April.

Can't help but wonder how much the epic mountain snowpack built up this winter has played into the big rains over the southern plains this spring.

Noticed that too. Check out the temp anomalies over Alaska this year.

You can have above average rain totals for the year but still have current drought conditions depending upon frequency/intensity of the rain. If your totals are high because of intense/high level rain events, you can still have dry spells between.

It's the middle of summer where evaporation from soil and plants is at its peak too. Doesn't take much time for a dry spell to get on the drought monitor.

Doesn't change that most of the east has seen a ton of rain this year.

Right.

We’ve had more flash flooding events than I think I’ve ever seen. Obviously being on the Ohio, general flooding is a concern. But I’m more concerned about the intensity of what we’re seeing. 2-4 inch totals in an hour span type stuff that isn’t normal here, inland.

How red is your face right now?

I bet your blood pressure is through the roof.

I really hope you can sleep well tonight

You get storm systems like what roll through in spring with summer type heat and it can happen. It's been happening all over the place east of the Rockies this year. I'm no stranger to heavy rains here on the gulf coast, but I got just under 6" of rain in 90 minutes back in June. Heaviest rainfall I've ever seen.
