Accords are tanks. Had one several years ago and it’s by far the most reliable car I’ve driven.

4.26” and still lightly raining. It won’t break the drought but it’ll damn sure make a dent.

What’d you pull the trigger on? There are some insane deals to be had right now.

HRRR looks a lot better for your area today. 2”+. Hope it works out - this event could go a long long way to breaking this drought for all of us.

Big points for the RRFS, or as I call it, Rufus. It had the I-40 corridor getting slammed for the Wed Eve-Thursday morning period first among the cams.

August has been super kind to us the past few years. Let’s see if we can keep the streak going. I can almost smell football in the air.

3.95”

It’s deceiving. I was under 2 showers that seemingly looked meh on radar and got an inch already.

Already at an inch of rain

A lot of sw to ne flow, which I’ve noticed, tends to work out poorly for me. The South Mts either block things or the cells anchor in that region. I wonder if you’re getting the ol Mt Mitchell block.

I feel your pain. We’ve had some weird shield over us this week. I can’t even count how many times I’ve watched a storm miss me to the north through Dudley Shoals, and then 30 min later, Maiden.

Extremely efficient rain producer too. 2” per hour rates.

A proper thunderstorm has arrived

Very bad storm. We were on the lake celebrating the 4th when it popped up. We had about 10 min left in the trip back to the dock when the cloud to ground lightning started zero metering. Good ol’ pucker up moment.

3 straight days of 100°+ and two straight days eclipsing 103°. Eastern NC gets the deserved pit of hell recognition but when the foothills cook with the downsloping, we absolutely boil.

103° with a DP of 71. LAWD

96° with a feels like temp of 107° at mi casa during the lunch hour.

Sad to report that I’ve hit 100° on the home weather station

A huge wildcard in the forecast. I think we’d all welcome the drought and heat relief it would bring. Google (GOAT) DeepMind is enticing.

.33” last night and not gonna complain a bit. I truly wasn’t expecting it and at least that amount was easy to soak in. I hope more of us can cash in today. We have a huge wildcard lining up in the forecast with tropical development.

I think it’s going to get significantly worse before it gets better. I do think the fire hose turns on eventually but I’m not optimistic that happens before Sept

Taps sign

Anddddd it went poof

Through 15 days…. We’ve got problems ahead .

So much is loaded into the net result of everyday winter weather but it’s going to be intriguing to see play out. We’ve had a lot of cold and dry the past few years with a southern jet that just can’t get the job done and watching everything get suppressed. I think we swing the pendulum the other way this year but hopefully not too much. My fear is that it’s indeed BN for much of the season with AN precip but I think it’s driven by a lot of 45° rainstorms - not snow. But we only need to connect on one for it to be a good winter in this forum.
