This weeks drought monitor showed significant worsening of conditions across NC with the triangle area finally slipping into D4 for first time since the 2007-2008 drought.
-
93.2 for the high yesterday. Big uptick in humidity today
-
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.
-
I’ll believe it when I see it
-
RDU finished with just 1.54” of rainfall during May which is less than 1/2 the normal amount for the month. With only 8.32” for the year it also marks the driest start to a year through June 1 in history (132 years) for the observing site.
-
Paltry 1.79” MTD Precip (think RDU was actually about a quarter inch lower last I checked) 96.6 hottest temp 41.9 lowest temp

The second image proves the triangle screw hole extends beyond snowstorms
-
You’ve had more this week than I’ve picked up last 4 months combined

A rainy period is always 3 weeks away here now… Raleigh all but guaranteed to slip into level 2 water restrictions. Saw the lake was headed to 70% (currently 73%) and current restrictions went in at 85%. 60% is next level and that will come quicker as water usage increases in summer
-
Yep northern piedmont missed out, about the only area in the entire region that did. Looks quite dry going forward too
