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.

Had a high of 95. currently it is miserable 90/79 for a HI of 107.

It seems the drought regions of Eastern NC should finally get soaked. When it rains it pours: 3-5" for the coastal plain over the next 5 days

We really need it.

Woohoo, our first decent rain today. Picked up .45" in a surprise T-storm. Had a 20% chance today. Went from 93 to our current temp of 78.

Picked up a measly .34" yesterday. .25" with the 1st storm and .09" with the second. Looks like we will have to wait until Wednesday for another chance.

Had a high today of 96. Currently it is cloudy and 87/77. HI of 98 and it sure feels like it. No rain so far but there are storms popping to our northwest.

Picked up .17" yesterday thanks to mighty Tropical Storm Colin. LOL

Clouds kept temps down but also kept storms away. No rain despite an 80% chance. High of 83 after a low of 71.

New month, new Obs. Post them here.

LOL, went from an 80% chance of rain down to 20% chance. Guess we will have to wait until tomorrow.

Had a high of 92 today and with dew points in the mid 70's most of the day, it was pretty miserable outside.

Monthly stats:

Highest temp - 97

Lowest temp - 54

Highest dew point - 80

Lowest dew point - 44

Rainfall - 2.44"

Congrats GaWx. Nice that someone is getting a good rain.

.03" here yesterday, nothing today. The big dry continues.

Not with that dew point 

Normally we are in the mid to upper 70's so yes a dew point of 70 is decent.

Low of 64 and high of 87, dew point held around 70 most of the day. Decent late June day.

Had a relatively cool day here today as cloud cover kept our temps down. Had a high of only 83. Currently it is 79/72 just before 6 pm.
