Pouring here on the east side of downtown. Loving this!
-
Here is the latest Falls Lake level and it made up about half of what it lost during the peak of the most recent heatwave.
-
Thank you!
-
Looking toward North Hills:
-
Locally enhanced shear due to boundary interactions gave me this brief gem!
-
I am actually here celebrating that lol
-
This graph shows the bump from yesterday's rain at Falls Lake before resuming the gradual drop:
-
The short answer is shear. In simple terms, CAPE is a measure of the fuel in the atmosphere for storms and wind shear is what allows storms to organize and not choke themselves off so quickly (should be at least 25 knots but preferably more). Today there was not much shear present so it makes more of a pulse storm scenario where they pop up and die quickly.
-
Yep the run ahead outflow killed us.
-
There is one pop up storm near Durham just west of Falls Lake but yeah it would be nice to get something. Could be some pulse severe with DCAPE values being quite high and no shear.
-
Last night in Raleigh (as close as I could fly without violating a TFR).
-
It is basically falling at its steepest rate since the real drop began. Showers over the next few days should slow or stop the bleeding for a short time.
-
102F was the high at RDU.
-
RDU has hit 100F and it is likely that here now as clouds have cleared.
-
We have high clouds which may prevent all time records from being set.
-
NWS lowered my point and click to 102F for today.
-
101F looks to be the RDU high. That is slightly below the forecast.
-
coastal dewpoints can be brutal.
-
RDU is now officially at 100 F
-
RDU stalled around 97 F for a bit but wondering what is going on there between hours.
-
RDU Is running 6 degrees warmer than this time yesterday.
-
Either way this is horrible that the heat will continue to plague us for this long.
-
I noticed the bump up as well this morning. I am a bit surprised by that. Also Falls Lake as expected is in free fall again. It has about 3 feet to drop before reaching the all time record low level.
