Y'all stay safe overnight.

0.23" from that morning band. More showers knocking at the door. Mower guy just showed up. I think he's gonna get dripped on.

Well, I thought it was supposed to be less mugly today, but it's currently 86/79 out there at noon.

Just dumped 1.48" out of the gauge. If we get the expected rains from the TS (models say 2-4", 3-5") it's going to be pretty soggy by mid week around here.

Finally getting a nice storm here too. Somewhere around/over an inch so far. Temp dropped from 90 to 75! Sweet!

RAH Afternoon Disco - wind and rain. The previous discussion noted that the 01/00Z model guidance suggested a slowing of the system, a trend that has continued with the 01/12Z model guidance and the 11am NHC forecast. It is now appearing that rain is more likely to linger into Tuesday. In addition, storm total rainfall now appears to be in the range of 2-5 inches, with the greatest amounts along and west of the I-95 corridor. Strongest winds are still currently expected near and east of I-95, although the track of stronger winds has shifted slightly inland/to the west.

Still a pretty ragged mess. Once it gets off the shredder islands, it may become more interesting. Definitely not vertically stacked at the moment.

Maxed out at 95/73 = 105 again today. A few sprinkles this evening with an outflow.

I guess this is good news? RAH this morning: Nothing Earth shattering in the extended forecast,

Current RAH forecast here has a chance of showers/storms every day through next Tuesday. Going to get muggy again.

My wife and I are both over 65 and both considered high risk, not just because of age, but underlying issued as well. With my wife being somewhat disabled, it adds another dimension. If I should get the virus and have to self quarantine, she couldn't take care of a lot of her basic needs - preparing meals, bathing, laundry, etc. While I'm concerned for my own well being, my bigger fear is possibly bringing it back to her. Locally, our cases are relatively small compared to many other areas in the state. Still, I'll continue to practice the safety suggestions when I go out, and continue to limit my trips out shopping.

That line sure was moving along. From Charlotte to off the coast in 5 hours.
