Just did mine and it’s thundering again now

Watered the front yard where it has most slope but it is very squishy in the lower flat spots from yesterdays event so skipped watering most of the yard. Looking at the rainfall map combined with the rain the day before it looks like part of the falls lake watershed has seen 4”+ over last two days. The lake has remained mostly steady longer term with minimal drops over the past 2 weeks after being in a free fall

Radar Scope, it’s an app. If you don’t have it, get it, it’s the best radar app out there.

Also maxed out at 99.0 before the clouds arrived and heat index was 112 which I believe was highest of the entire heat wave here

Don’t think I need to water in morning. 2.89” here. Radar estimates show over 6” just east of my location. Maybe more to come overnight? 3.03” MTD

Flash flood warning for wake. Never thought I’d see that again

Finally a proper thunderstorm

Yall have had the most rain in the central part of NC and even though it’s been somewhat isolated it’s thankfully falling into the watershed. The lake would be probably close to a foot lower if not for the lucky bullseyes that have kept it in check overall the last 3 weeks

97 degrees with a heat index of 111… Today feels the most miserable of any days during this heatwave

In good news the heaviest rain (1.5-2.5”) set up directly over falls lake AGAIN and the lake registered its biggest one day jump since the free fall started

Finished with 0.14”

Got screwed by outflow. Picked up a whopping 0.08” whereas areas just a few miles NW got 1+”

Falls lake has resumed its freefall this past week. Driving over the 85 bridge or beaver dam is breathtaking

I remember when hitting 100 used to be rare

Same at my house, 102.1 was as high as we got. Thought we were gonna stay under 100 but clouds broke and it baked last 3 hours
