0.71” brings the MTD to 6.40”

Helluva windstorm here, knocked power out. Most severe storm in years and had no warning

I would have to imagine we see significant improvement on tomorrow's drought update across NC and SC with the potential of both D4 areas to be removed

Was hoping we could stay in 70s but made it to 81.7 today. No additional measurable rainfall though it did rain/drizzle past noon

We picked up 0.09” additional which brings event total here to 0.97” and MTD 5.69”

I’d say most of central NC likely is above July normal amounts for the entire month and it’s still the first half of July. Yesterday’s rainfall was widespread and affected many areas that had missed out somewhat earlier in month. It seems the tide has turned on the drought looking forward with no signs of extended dry weather at all

Over 4” at the farm in Louisburg since yesterday and still pouring

That’s awesome y’all needed it bad! Not near as much up here but still a very respectable 0.88” which brings the MTD to 5.60”

What a turnaround this month for the Triangle area

Another yard refresh, 0.09” brings MTD to 4.72”

0.57” of beautiful rain brings MTD to 4.63”

Next week might exceed the heatwave we have been dealing with. We’re at the point where when the high is 98 we’re saying it’s “only 98 today”. This weather can kindly end, is it September yet?!

It’s crazy how fortunate/lucky Raleigh has been that the heaviest rain has literally set up over the lake

Miserable high of 96.6 today low of 73.4 no rain for first time in 5 days

D4 was cut back some in wake Durham and Franklin counties but overall not much change. Southeastern NC saw worsening of the drought with D4 introduced near Wilmington and an expansion of D3
