Significant improvements on this weeks drought monitor for pretty much everywhere in region besides northern piedmont of NC. Some areas have gone all the way to just the “abnormally dry” category and much of SC and eastern NC is now only in “moderate” category. https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/CurrentMap/StateDroughtMonitor.aspx?Southeast

Another incredibly cool morning for June, 53. It is going to be wild having lows in 50s and highs in 90s next couple days

Falls lake is falling about 18” a month right now, and over last 3 days the rate has increased from about .5 to .7” a day

RAH referring to us as a desert now: 1) Very dry air and soil moisture levels will lead to desert-like conditions with very warm days and very cool nights into Thursday night.

Wow! Was not expecting that this morning. My farm dropped to 41.7 too which was in line with the Louisburg airport reading of 41. Very chilly. 50.2 here at my house so didn’t quite crack 40s but what an incredible morning walking outside

RDU has at least tied the record low for today (49)

Is this a cruel joke?

@yotaman I know you got a lot today it was coming down hard in new Bern and James city a little while ago on 70 road was flooded in the construction area

Some of it was the stable air when the wedge lasted a lot longer than expected.

I’ll believe it when I see it

RDU finished with just 1.54” of rainfall during May which is less than 1/2 the normal amount for the month. With only 8.32” for the year it also marks the driest start to a year through June 1 in history (132 years) for the observing site.

Paltry 1.79” MTD Precip (think RDU was actually about a quarter inch lower last I checked) 96.6 hottest temp 41.9 lowest temp

The second image proves the triangle screw hole extends beyond snowstorms

You’ve had more this week than I’ve picked up last 4 months combined
