Falls lake, after the two watering days, has resumed its steep fall that was stabilized for about a week due to rain
-
WOW, “only” 95.2 here
-
One record to watch for RDU (and likely other sites) is the record for longest consecutive streak of 100+ degree highs. Current record from 2012 is 6 days. NWS is forecasting 5 straight 100+ days at the moment (100, 102, 102, 103, 100) but Tuesdays high will be dang close at 98 (and we know 2 degrees above forecast is just a casual Tuesday for the RDU sensor).
-
8 degree diurnal max from the morning low under sunny skies in July is wild!
-
One saving grace during this heat wave will be somewhat lower humidity will lend to heat index’s staying in advisory territory. Will be damn hot but at least we won’t have the normal humidity to deal with too
-
100%. They also mention the orientation of the high is such that the worst heat favors the mid Atlantic in today’s AFD whereas some previous runs had it centered further SW. Multiple days of 100+ degree heat seem inevitable tho and it will certainly be a dangerous heat wave, but explicitly putting all time record highs in the forecast over the weekend definitely led to more scrutiny over the forecast. I had never seen 106 forecast for my area or 3 days straight of at least 105 as it had until yesterday

3.71”

NWS has ticked the point click down from max temps 105-106 to 101-102 depending on where you are in wake county. Still extreme but not record shattering as originally forecast
-
With no rain in the forecast I will confidently say 2.46” is my monthly total, far less than most of the county but my highest monthly total since August
-
Picked up 0.01” so technically 3 days straight with measurable rainfall
-
Missed the heaviest stuff yesterday but picked up 0.27”

Over the couple weeks the rains have at least stabilized the decline of falls lake. Bought some time for Raleigh to hold off on stricter restrictions
-
Pretty much all of falls lake got 1.5-2.5+” today. Currently a flood advisory. Excellent!!!
-
Thankful for the storm that just passed. Just 0.12” but felt like a normal summer afternoon with a few claps of thunder and temps back down to 80. Humidity cometh
-
This weeks rainfall was helpful as generally 1-2.5” fell across the exceptional drought area though we would need to see repeated systems do the same to see any real progress. Sadly looks to be going back into the fryer this coming week with no signs of additional widespread rains
-
1.24” for the day, maybe another storm this evening?
-
That sucks. I was worried yall would miss out. Your time is coming, maybe one day?
-
Whoever did their rain dance in Raleigh this morning, it worked. 0.91” here from first round
-
Nada last night here. Today looks promising
-
Idk I think whole county got at least 3/4” some up to 2”
-
I think we’re done but what a great rainfall. 0.98” which brings me to 1.01” for the month. Biggest 24-hour rainfall since August here
-
What a radar to wake up to. Hallelujah
-
RDU set yet another record high yesterday, 99. This is the ***16th*** record high set in 2026 and is made even more notable by passing the old record of 15 record highs set in a calendar year (2007), keep in mind it is only June. If you think this has been a hot start to the year, it has now become historic for Raleigh! And we still have the second half of the year and raging El Niño, this year will possibly see the record double.

Have faith, it’s coming tonight
