Wow what a difference being on the other side of the city makes. We’re at 6.32” and places north of here have more than that

Were at the point now where long range progs for below average temps in both winter and summer mean nothing more than a day or two below average. This is a painful summer

2 weeks in a row my house was featured in the rain core on an eyewall drone shot! I’ll take it!

The worst of that core went just south and east of my house. I’d expect some areas there probably had some more hail. Only pea size here

Only problem with mid afternoon storms. I love when they push through at 6 vs 4 like now. We had a heck of a close lightning strike and some of the heaviest rain this summer for a brief time. A few small hail stones as well. Almost no wind which was surprising. Still raining. Temp has fallen to 76

Heck of a MCS complex moving through the northern piedmont. Hope we get some of it.

We’re in the middle of about my least favorite weather pattern imaginable. Hot, humid, almost no storm chances, no relief on horizon. Get ready, the next week + is going to hurt

6.13” MTD with 2 weeks remaining. What a turnaround

Excellent lightning storms again today 0.32”

Great storm here. Finished with 1.10” for a monthly total of 5.81”. What a turnaround in such a short period

Over my house haha. Great storm, lots of lighting and thunder. Been awhile since we’ve had natural fireworks like that

Subsidence behind the coastal plains storms kept an area of stable air along the part of the US1 corridor yesterday. Every storm weakened and died moving into it. We picked up 0.06” and that was from a very potent storm that collapsed on approach. 4.71” for the month

Sitting at 80.6 with low humidity and partly cloudy skies. My oh my what a beautiful day.

Did not quite get an inch yesterday but the 0.85” we did get from an unexpected very rainy day brought us to 4.65” over the last week and for the month. What a drought busting rainfall for many areas in central and eastern nc

Working on our 3rd day in a row with over an inch of rain. Unbelievable

Pretty good rains this morning. Up over 4” for the last 5 days. Still raining lightly

2.07” on the day. 3.80” for the month

Pouring. This will make up ground for the summer

Finally got a rainfall over 1/2” maybe some more to come? Sitting at 0.57” so far, all of which fell in 20 min. Ended with 1.21” which brings the MTD (and our 3 day total) to 1.73”

@eyewallyou always get amazing pics but these are some of my favorite!

RDU was 2 degrees warmer than my house yesterday and 4 degrees warmer today. That’s pretty significant variation for being so close. We did however receive close to a half inch of rain more than them last month and a half inch more than them so far this month

Topped out at 96.3 today. Highest HI was a scorching 107.2 which though way too hot did not verify our excessive heat warning. For the second day in a row we got a thunderstorm which put and additional 0.16” in the rain bucket and cooled it off considerably into the upper 70’s. I’ll take these pleasant rain cooled evenings any day! Looking at radar, it looks pretty meager out there for the 70% area wide rain chances advertised this morning. Feel fortunate to have gotten the storm we did EDIT: Picked up an additional 0.07” for a daily total of 0.23”

Cloud cover *MAY* help us from a repeat of yesterday’s triple digit heat. We’ve *only* made it to 96 so far and it’s leveled off for the last hour or so. Still had a max heat index of a blistering 106 a short time ago

Upgraded to an excessive heat warning today. We verified one yesterday despite only having a heat advisory. Heat like this, even in the south, is quite rare. Usually our dew points mix out in the afternoon at peak heating but this is a pure soup airmass. Hope the advertised pattern changes noted above come to fruition. This has been a miserable summer

Missed out on the big totals just east of here but picked up 0.29” from a frisky storm that blew up overhead this afternoon. Broke 100 for the first time this year. 100.1 was our high. Storms were a fine consolation prize after the pain however
