0.02" from yesterday's passing shower. Going to be a nice day in the 70's.

maybe even Ridgefiled, CT might not be a bad go to area today

1. The RDU area has some of the driest soils in the SE. so, that’s affecting the current/recent temps for the entire RDU area, not just RDU, itself. 2. The RDU sensor, itself, over the years (not drought related) has been hotter than surrounding major stations supposedly due to the configuration of the station as has been discussed here and at other places.

What the heck was that about with the jet buzzing Kemp Mill? Had to be from Andrews

Beats my 0.07". June has brought rain on 6-7 days but we're still under 1". Last year we had only 5 days with thunder, about 1/3 of the average and only the 2nd (of 28 years) that failed to get at least 10 - 2010 had only 8.

Hopefully CAD doesn’t ruin the Christmas torch. If its going to be mild or warm, I want BBQ and pool weather

I heard poker...

Sorry. No parking for reindeer.

Indeed... old Sol is doing a decent job at eroding the grunge. Gone partly sunny here and the higher res vis imagery suggests we'll see more sun going forward. Temps 'll likely respond

Potent DCAPE over the area if nothing else.

oh man my bank account is down to $47 better roni it to six figures

can i come

DP's may be growing ( and they are in fact... no "may be" about it) in the longer term average/mean, but they seem to not coincide ( necessarily) when the kinetic temperature is very large - as well. That's probably the sticking point in perception. Particularly true around here. We don't seem to couple say... 76 dp, with 98 nearly as frequently as the same latitude out over N IA/IL for example. It's not like our sun is weaker. There's some sort of geo-physical feedback here that gets in the way of that. Like the baseline PNAP ( Perennial North American Pattern, which refers to the the rest state) affixes a non-linear component of forcing that is ( as "non-linearity" implies) not really very discerned on a daily weather chart but is always lurking, and does manifest in subtle ways. Such as, ...our highest heat ends up coming over top, where it then has to come d-slope. That's just one possible way in which our region hides the biggest DP days from coinciding from the bigger kinetic delivery days. Another possibility ... because we are the continental anus of just about every circulation mode there is with the exception of the EC paralleling "Bahama Blue" pattern ( rarer), that means we have the entire 2,500 miles of accumulated organic and inorganic ( man-made) particulate aspects that can inhibit a purer solar radiation transfer. All these aspect make any linear interpretation of climate kind of fragile when considering things at a deeper level.

driving down the wrong side of the highway at 120 mph and explaining to my terrified passengers that i’m doing a modoki event

Big poker game here tonight. Usually do it outdoors. I’m thinking I should be fine since rain will be scattered. Thoughts?

Garden variety storm here last night, nothing special besides for a strong wind gust or two. Looks like another chance today, hopefully earlier in the afternoon/evening so the outdoor World Cup watch party I’m going to isn’t affected. Then another chance on Sunday.

Good money if you can get it

we have roni'd the boiling point of water to 327 degrees

Just broke 93 here. Going over 100 again for sure

have you considered that it is good to be boiled alive

Can’t wait for the UAH spike. going to be a rough year for the deniers.

Already at 92 at 10am IMBY

sst’s show a strong cooling trend actually

“my stomach shows a shrinking trend” i explain to my doctor who is mildly concerned that i brought a sack of hamburgers to my appointment
