You mean outer banks, it’s really really dried out west of 17. Actually has less than an inch for 95 west through triangle through the end of the run. We’ll see, last week looked like a lock for most areas in central NC picking up a couple inches now looks to be much more limited

More action that us, no rain here. Have had some nice cooling outflow breezes

Same here. Over the last 13 days we’ve seemingly missed out from every direction, more recently just to our east. Only 0.16” in that timespan from one storm that fringed up and a brief shower the other day. Amazing how quickly it can dry out this time of year when it’s in the 90’s everyday

Highest temp was 97.5 for July Monthly precip was 6.56” but the vast majority of that fell in 2 events, it’s been quite dry the last two weeks.

Well, our luck ran out. 97.5 for the high today, hottest day of the year and first reading in the upper 90’s. No sugarcoating this heatwave, it’s brutal out. Thankfully the humidity mixed out some, our maximum heat index today was 102.1

8am with a heat index of 87.6. Can already tell where this day is going. Get ready to fry

Currently 90.9 with a HI of 102.6. High today was 92.5 earlier. Thankfully we have avoided high 90’s this year (so far). Sitting at 6.56” for the month, but been a slow pick here last 10 days with just 0.16 in that time

94.3 today, hottest reading of the year. No rain, but a lot of thunder this afternoon

Picked up 0.02” from a brief shower this afternoon. High of 92.9 before clouds moved in. Hot hot hot

I agree, I also think dropping the mask guidance in the first place was the wrong decision. They set themselves up for failure and convincing people to go back is going to be much, much more difficult. This is a PR nightmare. Should have been more cautious and should have waited until it was certain. Delta variant was already present when they dropped masking guidance

Looks like the CDC is backtracking on its mask guidance for vaccinated people today. This plague is far from over

90L is actually looking a little better this morning inland and actually has a little better model support as it moves back offshore

Picked up 0.14” early this morning. MTD 6.54” Edit: some ridiculous radar estimates from near Dunn and Princeton last night. 6-7.5” and a continuing aerial flood warning. Wow

Currently 89.4. Made it to 92.1 before some clouds moved in. Sultry dew point of 75.2 is leading to a miserable heat index of 99.9. Where this 60% chance of rain coming from? I see nothing remotely close to triangle area. Another week without rain if we miss out tonight. Just very fortunate our rains we have had have been substantial bc they haven’t been consistent at all

Since Monday, this weeks weather can be summed up as: partly cloudy, highs 85-90 lows 68-73. Rainfall: 0.00”

I had covid back in first half of last year but had no symptoms besides lack of energy and lack of taste but I got the Pfizer shot in may and it was pretty bad for me. No sleep for 2 nights, body aches, and absolutely no energy. This was all after the second shot. However, after about 36 hours, it all went away quickly. My wife did not get covid and had very few symptoms with either of her shots. I have heard it’s worse for some reason if you’ve already had it before getting the vaccine? Not sure the science there, but glad ya got it! Sure am glad I did with the delta variant entrenched

BORING WEATHER SUCKS

0.60” looks to be our daily total. 6.40” for the month now

Much more tame here in Raleigh. 0.23” overnight and this morning for a total of 0.30” since yesterday. This does bring our monthly total to 6.03” so this is the second straight month of at least 6” here

Pretty pathetic 0.07” today. We stayed in the rain hole all day. 5.80” for the month

Raleigh’s rain chances have been dropped to 40% (from 80%) for today and to 60% (from 80%) for tonight and Monday. Tuesday is now 50% (was 60%). You get the picture…

Felicia’s days are numbered, but it definitely defied modeling and dry air with light shear, annular hurricanes are amazing specimens. They are almost completely self sustaining when shear remains light, even completely wrapped by a dry environment. Would have LOVED to see some radar images from this storm

Just an incredibly impressive storm. Perfectly symmetrical 120 kt storm still this morning

Well, we were shutout. 0.02” for the week

Felicia has become a beautiful annular hurricane.
