Me too, though until yesterday I feel like RDUs readings have mostly matched surrounding areas this spring 94.3 here today, think RDU hit 95

Back door front looks significantly delayed tomorrow in triangle, likely to be close to if not just as hot as today now. Delayed but not denied!

It’s been rock steady. I think this is the first real consistent rainfall any of us will have seen since last August. It has been delayed slightly here Thursday which likely means Thursday gets well into 90s before the storms arrive. Can imagine them being frisky with that kind of heat to work with

That’s crazy! 94.8 for the high here (hottest day of year so far) but a far cry from the *at least* 97 RDU hit. Guess the drought/heat spike theory is back for RDU sensor being warmer than everywhere else

In case anyone was wondering, overnight and morning trends look great for NC

Yea ensembles haven’t really budged. I’m confident we see daily storm chances starting Wednesday/Thursday depending where you are and continuing for the next week. If we can get near normal rainfall it will be a huge win considering where we stand currently. Drove over falls lake here earlier and it is shocking how much it has fallen in last 2 weeks

Would be par for the course if we watch most of this go west of apps and around us but at a minimum it looks like a return to at least scattered afternoon storms across NC most days

Ensembles haven’t changed much. Still looks wet. Only concerning thing I have is boundary setting up north and west of triangle area. Seems to have trended stronger with SER recently meaning boundary is pushed back somewhat

93.2 here

EPS and GEFS both look very wet. And it’s not dependent on just one storm system, but a summer pattern with storms most afternoons and possibly a stalled frontal boundary. This is the best look for rainfall since August

44.8 here this morning, felt incredible walking out the door

This is a good page WRAL put together to track rainfall at RDU: https://www.wral.com/weather/page/1934052/ Going back 6 months you can see all the months under 1” total for the month. Insane deficits and we’re going the wrong direction still

Before the next rain some areas in northern piedmont will likely move into exceptional category

Latest drought monitor shows some improvement around the Charlotte area, SC and Georgia. Not much movement but probably the first time it’s trended positively in 6 months. This was expected as those are the areas that capitalized on the rainfall earlier this month.

Didn’t you just get like a foot of rain
