Picked up a surprised .28" overnight. Looking for more this afternoon and evening.

High of 95 once again. Currently 89/79 for a HI of 104.

Had ahigh of 95 yesterday and after a low of 79, we are already up to 92 and it is only 11:40.

Not even noon and it is already 91.

Hot one today. High of 95 after a low of 78. Currently 93/76.

Had a brief storm move thru that dropped our temp from 88 to 76 and put .15" in the bucket. Temp is back up to 83/78.

Already 88/77 with a heat index of 101 and it's not even noon. Rain chances have gone from 20% when I went to bed to 70% this morning.

Big storm complex moved thru our area this morning. Picked up 1.43" from it. That pushes my monthly total to 12.29". That is the most I have ever recorded for a month outside of tropical systems.

Had a nice storm come thru. Dropped .42" into the bucket and dropped temp from 89 to 74. This pushes my monthly total to 10.8" with 11 days left.

Had a high of 93 today. Had a good sized storm just miss us this afternoon but we were close enough to get the outflow from it. Dropped the temp from 91 to 76 and it stayed there the rest of the afternoon. I was able to get out and cut the grass in somewhat comfortable conditions for mid July.

Picked up a total of .58" from multiple rainstorms today. That puts me at 10.37" for the month.

Lots of thunder but only .03". Most of the storm stayed to my immediate southeast.

Picked up .49" this morning between 7 and 8 am and then an additional .85" from 9 am till just after 12:00.

This additional rain gives me 9.68" for the month.

Picked up .63" overnight.

I looked into purchasing one but after reading the reviews on amazon I decided against it.

I ended up getting the Ambient weather ws2902C and love it. I had a little issue getting it up on my phone but it was a breeze to set up. Seems accurate. Some of their models are currently on sale on Amazon for 20-25% off.

Stayed comfortable most of the day until the sun came out around 3 pm. Then the temp and humidity shot up. Ended up with a high of 86 and dew point to 73.

Surprising low of 66 this morning. Felt good out there during my morning dog walk. Wish this weather would stick around for a while.

Had a high today of only 76. Remain cloudy and breezy all day with some off and on sprinkles that added .04 to our daily total.

Ended up with 3.33" in 90 minutes last night. Plus .37" this morning puts me at 7.61" for the month.

Day 2 of heavy rain. Already at 1.00" since it started about 30 minutes ago.

Edit: up to 2.00" now and still pouring.

I’m not sure where else to ask this, but my family and I are heading down to Carolina Beach, NC on vacation tomorrow through next Saturday, and my mom is freaking out because Weather Channel is saying rain everyday. Anyone have a more detailed analysis? Is it looking like a (literal) wash next week?

Looks wet but I highly doubt it will be a rain out every day. Most likely you will see afternoon and evening thunderstorms daily.

Finally getting our big storm right now. Absolutely pouring and at .89" and climbing today.

Edit: looks like the rain has finally ended even though we are still getting lots of thunder. Gauge is at 2.40" for the day. Areas just to the west of me have picked up over 3.50".

Lots of thunder this afternoon but only .11 in the rain bucket.

Upgraded to an excessive heat warning today. We verified one yesterday despite only having a heat advisory. Heat like this, even in the south, is quite rare. Usually our dew points mix out in the afternoon at peak heating but this is a pure soup airmass. Hope the advertised pattern changes noted above come to fruition. This has been a miserable summer 

It was extremely soupy here yesterday and into night fall. Yesterday evening was only the 2nd evening this year that I haven't been able to walk the pups due to the heat and humidity.

Picked up .33" very early this morning. Hoping for more tonight and tomorrow.
