Yes, the lack of humidity has been noticeable thus far. Desert life was a foreign concept before this summer

0.00” here through 10 days of June. Already hit 97 once with 100s progged next couple days. What a start to the month!

So so so dry. This is a top 1-2 drought in my lifetime for the Raleigh area. Yard is concrete and just dead besides where I have had time to spray it in mornings. The once a week irrigation rule was fine until it got this hot

We didn’t have anything like that but it peaked about 3:00 at my house too. Sat between 95-96 from 1-4 with the 97 peak. Miserable

We hit 97.2 at my house so not super far fetched but highest in the state for sure

We retreated to coast and it’s been beautiful here all weekend. Sea breeze and 80

Significant improvements on this weeks drought monitor for pretty much everywhere in region besides northern piedmont of NC. Some areas have gone all the way to just the “abnormally dry” category and much of SC and eastern NC is now only in “moderate” category. https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/CurrentMap/StateDroughtMonitor.aspx?Southeast

Another incredibly cool morning for June, 53. It is going to be wild having lows in 50s and highs in 90s next couple days

Falls lake is falling about 18” a month right now, and over last 3 days the rate has increased from about .5 to .7” a day

RAH referring to us as a desert now: 1) Very dry air and soil moisture levels will lead to desert-like conditions with very warm days and very cool nights into Thursday night.

Wow! Was not expecting that this morning. My farm dropped to 41.7 too which was in line with the Louisburg airport reading of 41. Very chilly. 50.2 here at my house so didn’t quite crack 40s but what an incredible morning walking outside

RDU has at least tied the record low for today (49)

Is this a cruel joke?

@yotaman I know you got a lot today it was coming down hard in new Bern and James city a little while ago on 70 road was flooded in the construction area

Some of it was the stable air when the wedge lasted a lot longer than expected.
