WEEKLY SOUTH CAROLINA WEATHER 2009

June 15, 2009 - June 21, 2009

WEATHER SUMMARY:

On Monday, heavy rains fell over the city of Florence and caused widespread street flooding. Nearly two and a half inches of rain fell at both Quinby and Hartsville. Southward moving storms on Tuesday produced episodes of violent weather. At 7:55 p.m., McEntire ANG AP was raked by winds gusting to 68 mph. Cloud tops, rising nearly 12 miles high, contributed to updrafts and hail formation described as "baseball-sized" (2.75�inch diameter) which fell at Piedmont in Greenville County. The hail path bombarded the community of Cornwall in Chester County with 2.50-inch diameter stones. Rainfall amounts of two inches or more were reported at Longtown, Winnsboro and Andrews. For most of Wednesday, cloudy skies and northeast winds kept temperatures over the northern counties nearly ten degrees cooler than those over the Lowcountry. At 1:30 a.m. Thursday morning, Lake Thurmond instruments recorded a thunderstorm wind gust of 53 mph. Keowee Dam measured 1.93 inches of rain for the 24-hours ending at 7:00 a.m. Thursday morning. A trajectory of northwest to southeast moving thunderstorms continued through Thursday night. Hot weather dominated the Friday and Saturday period with maximum temperatures in the middle to upper 90's. Manning, Bamberg, Johnston and Barnwell baked under a 98 degree shade temperature Friday afternoon. On Saturday, the last official day of spring, Clemson and Pickens reported high temperatures of 97 degrees.
