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

Crazy rainbow here right now. Got fringed by storm just a few hundredths of an inch but it’s been an excellent one to watch go by. Power outages showing up around Cary. Probably a microburst in that area based on mPING reports

Southern Wake getting in on the fun! Storm actually had decent rotation over Harris lake. Would’ve been photogenic @eyewall

Falls lake getting hit yet again. Just a storm magnet all of a sudden.

Would think so. Aligns with what I saw and that is a serious swath of two day non-tropical rainfall for July! You cannot ask for more in the areas that got it but man SE Wake just cannot get lucky that's some forcefield type stuff going on down there

I was joking but yea your half of the county cannot catch a break. I was right there with you until the last two days though. The best news though is the heaviest rain just keeps targeting the falls lake watershed over and over again. It has come up over 6 inches over last two days which is a ton of water added to the reservoir and completely offset all losses from the heatwave and most of the last month

1.01” brings the 3-day and MTD total to 4.04” here

It is now at its highest level since June 22 and rapidly climbing

So much for the drought

FalIs watershed getting pummeled again. 3rd straight day with at least an inch in the majority of the watershed. Lake has risen all day and will continue to do so after this. Excellent news for Raleigh

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.
