Pattern June 29-July 2 Heat Wave

[SD]

Figured I'd pull this into its own thread since it may cross monthly discussions and it's multiple days either side of 100 for parts of the region which is a little atypical

12z euro 18z temps Wednesday through Friday

After only one 90 degree day so far this year (6/25) FFC forecast has 90s here everyday starting tomorrow through early next week. Heat really cranking on Thursday-Saturday.

First 100 likely tomorrow and I'm not remotely excited. I mean it's not as unusual here as back east but still. The real story continues to be the insanely high dewpoints which are unusual this time of year

At least next week looks a lot better

Figured I would post a warning for the community so that the same thing that happened to me doesn't happen to someone else. Two weeks ago I had an intense thunderstorm come through that created a couple of really quick power surges from my electricity going out and coming right back on. I didn't realize it until later that evening but something was seriously wrong with my AC unit. I had a company come out the next day and they confirmed that the surges had grounded out my compressor. Luckily it was still under warranty however the compressor had to be ordered. Hopefully it will be fixed this week. One thing I will be doing in the very near future is to have surge protection installed to make sure that this doesn't happen again. I hope many of you will consider doing the same or at the very least be hyper aware of the havoc that these intense lightning storms can cause.

It looks like the run of staying below 90 is going to come to and end starting at the earliest Friday. It's been a great run around here. Aug 9th of last year. Almost a year. That's about unheard of around here lately as we usually always hit 90 early May or earlier each year. I'll take it.

I'm seeing upper 70s and even an 80 dew point there. That's pretty far inland for those numbers.

At least there is a good chance of storms each day. I hate hot and dry.

Mickey Mouse heat wave. 11 years ago this week was a real heat wave. Still holding these screenshots.

That one set the bar for me. My garden soil was as powdery as I’ve ever seen in Georgia.

Friday and Saturday still look like the warmest days around here. Best chance of relief would be from a ridge riding MCS system but good luck being able to predict those 24 hours+ in advance

Heat index of 109 here. Feels fantastic ?

Spotted a 116 northeast of the metro

Tomorrow is the 11th anniversary of 113 degrees at the University of South Carolina, setting the all-time South Carolina record.

Yeah, that one and Aug/07 were pure MISERY and I hope to never see those again. I'm glad this one is centered farther West or we might be in that boat, but mid 90s are still going to be torture. That 2012 wave is the last time my backyard reached 100.

If I remember correctly, 2007 was a pretty dry heat. Not too much humidity.

GSP managed to avoid 90 for one more day (89) but it looks like it will reach it each day through at least the 4th. Through 28 days the airport was below average for 27 days, with the lone exception being +1. Not a bad month at all!

and there was a strong MCS on the afternoon and evening of the 1st. I had a big oak tree get uprooted and crushed our deck

Both Tulsa and OKC missed 100 only because of the high humidity so it kind of offset ?

Altus hit 113 with lower humidity ironically

Hrrr is a big ouch for today
