Absolute Vorticity

The jet stream still rather far south for this time of year and that is why the front was able to clear the mountains and head off the coast. That is not common for mid-June though it does happen once in awhile. Mowed the grass this morning and it felt great. Should start to turn milder late week and then can we get another round of rainfall over the weekend. We are starting to get more action from the GOM so hopefully that will moisten things up but the chances for severe weather goes up as well.

Not sure how much I will be on here until next Wednesday or so as the big move is in place and starting Thursday the movers are there for 2 days then my wife and I will take care of everything and close up the place by next Monday or Tuesday. Of course it has been so cool down there this spring and temps expected to head towards normal which is mid-upper 80's but with so much rainfall this spring the humidity is downright horrible.

tpweather wrote: ↑Wed Jun 14, 2023 4:50 pm Good Afternoon and cloudy but not to humid here in SC. Glad to see some folks get some nice rainfall amounts on Tuesday. Grass is so green down here. Not much change in the forecast and having severe weather in the deep south this time of year is rare. As the jet moves north during the spring and summer the threat of severe moves north as well. Keeps the heat from getting out of control which is good and still the only spot in the lower 48 that might have heat over the next week or so is the southern plains and southern Florida and that is due to the front in the southern states and that warmth build to the south. We see this locally in the summer when you have a front to the north but you get that surge of heat just south of the front. The west remains much below normal in temps and for us to be near normal at best is not the usual but the jet diving in the west and east coasts and both are rather big troughs. Should be home probably Tuesday as we shut down the camp here lol. Been a long 4 years especially when covid restrictions were strong and made it hard just to find a place to use the restroom between Kentucky and SC. I will try and check in but the big move is Thursday and Friday and then I will just get a uhaul for the remainder of my stuff down here. Never want to see a uhaul again lol.

Wright patt had 1.34” and Dayton International 1.18” . I’ve experimented with different rain gauges you can buy at hardware or garden stores and it’s shocking the difference’s in amounts you can get. I can’t believe these companies get away with the inaccuracies of the calibration. They really should be more strict

Hi Tim,

Are you and your wife moving to WI, too? Or will you still have a dual residence in KY?

Looks like our Reds will be in the TX sauna this weekend as highs are forecast in the upper 90s / low 100s!

The past few weeks the southern plains and southern states have seen plenty of large destructive hail and today is no different. 3-4”+ hail forecast for most of Texas and Oklahoma
