Charlotte Weather

[Dale]

0 snow is not exactly what I moved from FL for.

[go_vertical]

You are more than welcome to move back. 

[KJHburg]

I have not seen any snow at my suburban house in the metro area so I register it at zero.  But I guess the airport saw some.

Shocking you are from Florida. Please, go back.

Neat drone footage of the storms that rolled through the area this week.  Pretty sure most of the video was taken in upstate SC.

this is good news but I will put it here  Brad Panovich tweeted this 

It's been 2181 Days since we have hit 100 degrees in #Charlotte. The 5th longest streak on record. It was June 26th, 2015 the last time we did it. #cltwx #ncwx #wcnc

Drought conditions which were creeping into play in May seems have subsided quite a bit in June.

It came right over my townhouse!

I literally want to cry just looking at the string of 90s coming up. I know this is the dog days of summer, but can we get a few 80 degree days with no humidity for shtz and giggles please!!

[KJHburg]

the remains of TS Fred are upon us and according to Brad Panovich big storms yet come through Charlotte later this evening.  He even pulled out his cupcake message which believe it or not simplifies it for many the difference between a watch and a warning.

Watch ingredients for a tornado.    Warning means there is one in the area! 

[KJHburg]

Brad is one of the best weather tv guys in the country and I have friends who follow him all over the state.  He was in New Orleans when Katrina hit.

So a watch is when the Tornado has hit and deconstructed the cupcake, and a warning is when the cupcake remains undamaged. Got it.

I have to say, as a resident of Gastonia who works in Stanley and had to drive home through the final squall line, this was no joke, no matter how paltry totals were in the central and eastern QC metro. I have NEVER driven through rain that hard in my life, and I've been in 6-hour downpours in the mountains that registered double-digit inch totals. I couldn't see two feet in front of my windshield at any time.

If we were abnormally dry in any way before, we sure aren't now. 

[KJHburg]

Look at these rain totals esp. in the mountains from TS Fred

And just like I heard Brad Panovich say the other night, this is all going to flow downhill, so be prepared for the Catawba and South Fork to rise over the next several days!  Stay safe!!

If there's one saving grace for us (which sadly doesn't help those in the mountains and what they're dealing with) it's that the Eastern Continental Divide which runs all down the Blue Ridge divides up the watersheds. About everything in the light pink there and west will flow towards the Mississippi, not our local rivers. Everything east of there though will definitely have to make its way down the Yadkin, Catawba, Broad rivers etc.

Also it's odd that the text in that rain total map says Hurricane Frances, and the wrong year as well.

I’m in Atlanta and let me tell you, the Hootch is swollen. 

[DMann]

Oh My!

Not Charlotte but this is one of the worse scenarios for New Orleans metro with the strongest part of the storm tracking west of the city.  No wonder 1 Million are without power with 2000 miles of transmission lines down.

[KJHburg]

Honestly this is a national emergency that a city and most of the metro area has no power and is cut off.  Watch this report from local New Orleans tv.   I guess I wont be stopping for lunch in New Orleans when I pass through in a few weeks.  This is a terrible situation for the city and its suburbs.

And summer temperatures hang on another week. Mid to upper 80s. This seems more typical of October these days. I hate it. But FINALLY,  it appears fall arrives this weekend.

Second year in a row my azaleas have bloomed in the fall.
