The idea of finishing this period with <1” seemed laughable based on modeling but it’s quickly becoming reality. As is were under half the normal amount for the month

Didn’t matter, everything evaporated heading into central NC again

Yea definitely good rains around but feel left out especially at the farm. Monday is the end of planting season for cotton farmers and a lot of those areas east of here have missed out entirely. Many farmers will be making tough decisions this year. Also upstairs of falls lake has been relatively dry through this period, and the lake has continued to drop today. Wedge needs to erode so the rest of us can make a dent in the drought

We’ve had 0.58” total here (0.51”, 0.07”, TR) keep seeing these 3-7” amounts in upstate and Charlotte

Raleigh precip shield has held strong

Rain just doesn’t want to to make it to Raleigh. Around 1/2” total for the period still

I checked the radar and saw them doing the split around you

South Charlotte between this and the early May rain has been the jackpot in the region

Finally got some rain at some point last night. Picked up 0.51” which brings MTD to 1.36”

Canes get beat and we zero out on rain in Raleigh… Coincidence???

As soon as that outflow blew through with nearest cell near RDU I knew we were screwed

0.01” here. Yay

Hottest day of year. 96.6 here, blew out the forecast of 91. Outflow just rolled through. Praying the storms behind it keep popping

Shewww we blew by the forecast high today- 94.5 right now

It’s been so long since we’ve had the radar popping in the afternoon like this
