Smoky here today with a definite smell in the air. Had a high of 94. Dew points are way down today. Currently at 6 pm it is 89/70. That is the lowest dew point we have had since July 1st.
Picked up .30" early this morning. Very humid this morning. Currently at 11:40 am it is 86/80 with a HI of 101. At 8 this morning it was 82/80 with a HI of 94. Had to cut the dog walk short as the pups weren't having it.
Edit: Steamy high of 93 with a HI high of 111.
Cloud cover kept us from getting any storms today. It did keep the temp down. Picked up .04" from some light rain that came thru this afternoon. High temp was only 85.
Big line of storms that moved thru NC today fell apart right before it hit my area. Managed to pick up only .08" from it. Did help to cool it off though. Hit 91 before the clouds moved in. Currently 75/73 just after 7 pm.
Already 91/80 for a HI of 109 at noon. Hoping for some good cooling thunderstorms this afternoon.
Edit: High temp was 96. Our highest temp this year. The heat and humidity spawned numerous thunderstorms in our area. We ended up with 1.54" for the day.
Edit #2: Another good storm moved in around 10:30 on and dumped .74" giving us a day long total of 2.28".
New month new obs. Post them here.
Starting our very warm and humid. Currently just before 11 am it is 84/72 for a HI of 90. and very hazy due to all the smoke.
Storms hit here around 1 am. Heavy rain, small hail, and some wind ( probably up to 30 mph ) hit us. Ended up with .78" from it. This puts me at 4.28" for the month.
We had our first 90 degree day here for the year today as we topped off right at 90. Had a few sprinkles but that was it for rain. Currently at 6:30 pm it is 85/75 for a HI of 93. Summer is here.
Edit: Picked up .31" in an after dark surprise rainstorm. That is 5 days in a row that we have had rain.
I have a FB friend who is hiking a section of the AT. He is in the middle of VA and has said that for the past three days it has rained, and temps have stayed in the mid 40's all three days. he is ready for warmer weather.
