Updates over the next few weeks...

Sorry for the lack of posting these past few days...having to do lots of things for finals and wrapping up the semester.

We've had a number of tornadoes over the past week. I'll be posting radar data about these when I get a chance, hopefully this week.

For the next 3 weeks I will not be posting forecasts for the NRV since I will be storm chasing in the Great Plains once again. I will however post images and discussions about the trip during the next few weeks.

Once again, please excuse the lack of postings these past few days and over the next three weeks.

Tuesday, April 28, 2009 Forecast

Showers move into the region later tonight into tomorrow. Expect sunshine through the day today with most areas seeing the upper 70s. Winds will be lighter than yesterday, but still breezy at times through the afternoon. Dublin should reach 78 today with sunny skies.

A slight chance of showers return into the early morning hours on Wednesday. Right now, expecting the best chance of showers into the afternoon/evening. Thunderstorms will be possible and the SPC has us under a chance of just general thunderstorms. Temperatures will be slightly cooler...into the lower 70s for most areas...but we could see mid-70s if no storms roll through. It should be partly cloudy through the morning and afternoon hours under light winds.

Thursday looks to be a continuation of Wednesday...with a chance of showers and thunderstorms into the afternoon. Temperatures will be around 73 for Dublin and into Pulaski. We should have partly cloud skies to start, then mostly cloudy during the evening.

Little River at Snowville bridge is at 1.31' as of 7:30 this morning. With the chance of thunderstorms on Wednesday and Thursday, we could see levels rise in response to heavy rain.

Monday, April 27, 2009 Forecast

Dry conditions will prevail for the next couple of days...at least until Wednesday. For today, expect temperatures into the upper 70s to around 80 as we head into the afternoon under sunny skies. We should have a light southerly wind and that's about it.

For Tuesday, a front will be approaching the area as we move into the evening hours. We should start to see things cloud up some for the afternoon, but it still should be a mostly sunny day. Temperatures should range from 73 to 77 tomorrow with southwest winds.

The front that's expected for Tuesday night/Wednesday will cool us off slightly...but the main threat with this system is the chance for some thunderstorms and squalls. Expect the lower 70s as we go through Wednesday with the chance for some light rain and storms.

Little River at Snowville is at 1.34' as of 8:30 this morning. Expect those levels to drop slightly before we see any rain by mid-week.

Friday, April 24, 2009 UPDATE

Sorry for no weather update this morning...I work from 6AM through mid-day on Fridays. I will not be able to update the forecast over the weekend (headed out of town until Monday), so I will give a short forecast now.

Saturday:
Highs into the lower 80s under mostly sunny skies and a light breeze.

Sunday:
Slightly warmer...highs into the mid 80s for the NRV with sunny conditions. A light breeze is also possible.

Monday:
Highs will be around 80 for the start of the work week it will be sunny.

I also wanted to show this radar image....it is take from the KGSP radar in South Carolina. The storms on the radar are in west-central North Carolina. While my fiancee, Sarah, and I were sitting outside this evening we watched lighting across the southern sky....about 10 strikes per minute. I came back in and snapped this radar image showing the radar strikes and our position to the storm. I also circled the distance to the storms...right at 79 miles...so pretty impressive. This is what old-timers call "heat lightning" because of the warm temperatures we had today and no audible thunder. This isn't a type of lightning....you just don't hear the thunder since sound doesn't travel as far as light does.

Thursday, April 23, 2009 Forecast

Get ready for a long period of nothing but sunshine and fair weather! The next three days there isn't going to be any weather to talk about, at least not for us. Here's a quick rundown of what to expect over the next few days:

Today:
Highs will be in the upper 60s to around 70 today. Winds will be breezy at times, but other than that...expect sunny skies and warm temperatures.

Friday:
Another sunny day with abundant sunshine...highs in the upper 70s to around 80 for the NRV. Winds will be much lighter on Friday.

Saturday/Sunday:
Low 80s is forecast for Satuday and Sunday...expect highs around 83 for everyone. Skies will be sunny and winds will be light.

Little River at Snowville is at 1.48' this morning. I do expect this level to drop over the next 7 days with no precip...river levels will be quite low by the time we do bring some rain into the region.
