All Activity

Enjoyed the gv today lets do it again tomorrow

While things may trend quieter for most of this new week, things are looking more likely now to start picking back up for mid June. More late spring type (northwest upper-flow) troughing pattern, and more MCS activity bound to track through the state. Severe potential is there once again also. As models are trending up on shear values and steepening ML lapse rates further south in the state, into next week of June 15th. EN has certainly been making its presence known lately with no dominant summertime subtrop ridging around yet to actually push the southern-stream jet away.

KEY MESSAGE 2...Increasing heat and humidity this week with afternoon thunderstorm chances Wednesday through Friday. Summerlike heat and humidity return this week as an anomalous mid- level ridge and surface high pressure expand into the region. Tuesday kicks off the warming trend, with 850 mb temperatures climbing into the middle to upper teens, supporting daily afternoon highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s. NWS HeatRisk guidance highlights the potential for heat impacts, with widespread moderate impacts and isolated pockets of major impacts, particularly across urban centers by late week. One possible fly in the ointment will be cloud cover and storm coverage during the middle to latter half of the week, which could keep temperatures just cool enough to avoid the need for heat-related headlines. Nevertheless, those who work outdoors should prepare for another stretch of unseasonably warm temperatures. Additionally, there will be little in the way of nighttime relief, with overnight lows generally remaining in the 60s.

Nice rains yesterday! I was wrong but glad to be wrong

Fake news from RDU??TODAY MAXIMUM 99 259 PM CLI from KRAH ——————-NORTH CAROLINA WEATHER ROUNDUP NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC 300 PM EDT SUN JUN 07 2026 RALEIGH-DURHAM MOSUNNY 93 57 29 VRB3 29.93F RWR from KRAH ——————-So, the 99 high was recorded at 2:59PM whereas the 3PM hourly reading was only 93. Sure, yeah right. This is truly bizarre! And the 99 seemed too high when considering surrounding stations!

The EPAC has come alive….invests/convection galore

So you should be through at least Tuesday. Maybe Wednesday if you get some clouds.

Nice. Surprised the rain pushed this far south and west. Lawn getting a decent drink 2 days in a row.

My tomorrow wx is SW of me tonight. Bring it! Need precip.

People scalp their lawns to 1” high weekly, pile on weed killer, and wonder why cold season grasses struggle after 5 days without significant rain.

Meant to post that I was surprised to wake this morning to everything wet and .13” in the station.

Jupiter and Venus putting on quite a show in the western sky right now

June PNA will likely finish <-1, but it doesn't have a high correlation to the Winter, surprisingly

I always love the NYBG pictures. I was a manager in the Finance department from 1987-1989. When I worked there parking and admission to the grounds were free. I do believe there was a fee to enter the Conservatory even at that time

Only .15” at least the car got a rinsing.

We get a little low south of the Aleutians Days 5-9. Around Day 10 a ridge is building into the Gulf of Alaska. I guess you can say that's close, but a slight difference west makes it more -PNA. I'm just really looking at the PNA, June will likely be the 5th consecutive month of -pna, and the average is no joke, it's less than -1/month 1965, 1982, and 2023 all had a 4-month streak of -PNA that were broken in June.

You sir have one the most studied watersheds in the nation with 5 minute data going back to 1968 Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

I currently sit at 13.89" for the year. Just about the 11th percentile If you folks want the most accurate rainfall history out there for your own backyard go here https://prism.oregonstate.edu/explorer/ 800m resolution and daily totals going back 1981 with monthly totals going back to 1895 Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

For lawn garden folks it’s a very real phenomenon

CT River ?

First fireflies visible tonight in the yard. Probably my favorite thing about June around here.

Isn’t the pattern around day 10 close to the normal +enso June look though?

100%...

The palpable fear of going a week or two without rain is still wild to me, and each summer on here it seems to get worse .
