Just a heads up.

Keep in mind if you say, “NC needs rain”, a group of NC mountain men will drive to New Bern and beat the crap out of you.

Point taken. Eastern NC needs rain. Better?

Low of 52, high of 72. Supposed to get into the 40's by morning. If it happens, it will be our first of the season. No rain for 14 days now and no rain it the 10 day forecast. So dry and ragweed is raging.

Looking forward to overnight lows in the 40's for us next week.

Wow, that is something you would expect to see in the Midwest, not southern Fla.

Low of 55 this morning.

Why does the NHC project so much weakening before landfall.  Is it supposed to undergo a lot of sheer or dry air?   

Yes and yes.

Hey y'all, wondering if I could get some help.  I normally only ever lurk here during winter to see if there's snow brewing... but am always disappointed because I live in the Triangle, and there's a snow dome over Raleigh.    But figured I'd post today on the off chance that it might lead to something.  

Here's the deal.  I have family up in the mountains of Avery County, NC.  My sister volunteers for the Linville Rescue Squad.  It's an all-volunteer group and she has been doing search and rescue work with them for a few years.  They have been working around the clock since the hurricane hit and giving it their all.  My sister didn't even shower for like six days, has been sleeping on the floor, going without hot meals, hiking around the woods in Avery county doing search and rescue... you get the drift.  And the whole squad is just full of really decent people that are doing this, unpaid as usual. 

Anyway, randomly before Helene hit, the Rescue Squad got selected to be a finalist in this contest through Land Rover.  If they win, they could get a new vehicle and $25,000.  That's CRAZY money for a volunteer squad that usually exists off of community donations.

Here's the link to the rescue squad:

https://linville-centralrescue.org/

And to the contest:

https://www.landroverusa.com/experiences/events-and-sponsorships/defender-service-awards/vote/search-and-rescue.html

The only way they'll win is if people vote for them.  First, I'm hoping everyone here will vote.  But also -- I'm trying to get some more visibility for the contest through media outlets.  Like this is such an easy way for people to help out, just click and vote in this contest, no donation or anything -- and it could go such a long way to help these guys and the people they serve.  Think how much of financial and emotional impact it would have after everything they've been through.  So I'm sort of trying to be a one-man PR team to help them out. 

What would be amazing is if somebody like Brad Panovich or Ethan Clark could share this information on their facebook page since they have such a wide reach.  I think the North Carolina Weather Authority has like 568k followers on Facebook, Brad has 374k followers... you get my drift.  BIG reach.  Does anyone know these guys?  I tried to send them a facebook message, but I'm just a random person shouting from the void out of a million messages they're already receiving, and they probably thought I was just doing PR for Land Rover.  (Unfortunately it does have free PR for Land Rover but I don't care about that other than the squad will get a free vehicle!)

So anyway, if y'all have any connections, please consider helping out and pass this message along.  It's a really decent cause.  Many, many thanks.  

Voted!

Weather has been pretty boring here since Helene went by. That has been good for those in the western part of the state. High's have generally been in the low 80's with lows in the 60's here.

End of month stats:

High temp - 91

Low temp - 55

High dew point - 79

Low dew point - 53

Rainfall - 6.37"

Picked up .17" from a dying feeder band this afternoon. Got crazy humid afterwards as dew points soared into the upper 70's.

Picked up .25" yesterday from 3 different storms. Nothing so far today.

.12" for us yesterday. Gives us 5.92" for the month.

We totaled out at 3.09" for the storm. Pretty impressive for us and right on the money as the prediction was 2-4".

We are up to 1.94" so far today. Been in the low 70's all day.

Windy and rainy here this am. Winds in the 10 to 20 mph range. Maybe a few higher gusts but nothing serious yet. Hopefully it stays that way.

Rain has stopped and we have ended the day with 1.16". Feels real nice out there with temps in the low 70's.

I saw 2 forecasts for my area. One on the weather channel which called for a 90% chance of thunderstorms this morning and 1 to 2 inches and the other from NOAA which called for a 30% chance. Weather channel was spot on and so far we have had .95".

Low of 55 this morning. Unbelievable for this time of the year. Loving this fall preview weather.
