Cracked 90 for first time since July yesterday. Topped out at 92.6. Finally got some rain, .22” in the gauge this morning

I cannot stand him. Used to be one of the best but gave into social media and clicks -
2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season

Man the western Atlantic looks downright hostile the next 3 weeks besides home brew -
Invest 91L - you tried bruv!

Might be DOA -

Definitely an increase in models that either don’t develop this at all or keep it weak. Likely a main reason near term track guidance keeps shifting south. Environment around the islands looks fairly hostile for whatever makes it there -

The idea this becomes a carribean storm is increasing. One other thing to note is several models show quite a bit of wind shear when the system approaches the islands. Perhaps they are seeing a shallower system that rides further south. Definitely an interesting track evolution from whatever forms here. Might have some hurdles ahead of it but I’d say the threat to land has increased markedly -
Low of 59.4 and high of 87.1 today. Maybe we’ll catch some of this line of storms this evening

It’s gotten quite dry in NC since the deluge in the first half of August. But the cooler temps aren’t killing yards like you’d expect after a 2-3 week break in rainfall during the summer

2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season
NorthHillsWx replied to BarryStantonGBP's topic in Tropical Headquarters
EPS and GEFS both show notable upticks in activity beyond the 10th. As were in the peak of hurricane season that is not surprising. The good news is that at least through mid month, the eastern trough hangs on which continues to be a deterrent to any storm approaching from the east. I think the CAG seen on some GFS runs is overblown as it tends to do but with La Niña developing and a tendency for shear to decrease this time of year I’d expect to start looking to the carribean and southern gulf. SSTs continue to decrease off the east coast from NC northward and I fished Friday out of Morehead and can confirm how much it has cooled. Water was 76-77 until about 35 miles out and warmed to 82 in the stream. Contrast to when I fished last week of July in same location and the temp never fell below 83 from the inlet to the stream and the stream was 87. That’s a huge difference in energy available of anything threatens NC-northward from a month ago. To me, this feels like the lid is starting to come off a bit in the Atlantic and mid month looks to be quite active -
Low of 55 this morning. Warmup starts today through Saturday, does not look like we make it even through the first week of September with no 90s (I’m still taken aback that we made it through August without a 90 degree reading) but the good news is yet another fall like airmass moves in to start next week. What a freaking pattern!

58.5 to start the day

High of only 77.2! Low of 53.0 this morning what a day
-
Monthly stats: Highest temp: 89.1 Lowest Temp: 57.5 Rainfall: 9.18”

Several areas in central NC waking up to 40s this morning to start off the month! We undershot guidance significantly as we are down to 53.2 imby

I think we’re going to undershoot guidance significantly. Currently 59 forecast is 58
