Currently a sultry 84 out. Hoping for rain the next few days.

Got a localized drought going on at my farm in Franklin county SW of Louisburg. Last measurable rain was on June 14th. Beans and tobacco have about 1/3 the normal growth this time of year and it is a legitimate dust bowl when driving down the dirt road. Crazy how some areas just seem to miss every storm in these summer patterns. Praying for rain but I worry our crops have already failed as we do not have irrigation and the current sad state has their growth potential limited.

Well the low pressure system currently drifting through the southeast has trended further east across most models and now appears to be heading for the SC coast. Also, models are now showing a lot more convection at the coast which would decrease the moisture transport into the central part of the state. This means rain chances/amounts have come down significantly for the NC piedmont. Unfortunately, this was a very good shot at a widespread rain in July, something we could use. Where this was looking like a very likely shot at 2-4" amounts it's now looking more like 0.25-0.5" with some areas of enhanced rainfall (and I think some areas may see less especially NW). I am undercutting NWS discussion totals from this morning they seem to discount the CAMs but I see the same trends in the globals as well. While I do expect most places to see rain the next few days, it looks like it's going to be on the light side. Subsidence and heavier moisture-robbing storms on the coast will keep this from being the type of widespread rain we've seen in SC today.

Heavy storm earlier this afternoon. Picked up 1.32” in short order

Got the edge of a very strong summer storm last evening. Picked up 0.28” but much more just to my East. Extremely loud storm with a ton of nearby lightning strikes. Most rain in weeks my yard desperately needed it!

Weather report: hot and humid Will probably just repeat that for the next month

Y’all have been under the gun for sure.

Well we broke our streak on the 14th day, barely. Got fringed by storms. 0.09” in rain bucket. Already dry out again

Trying to keep the faith but just felt the outflow boundary from the N Wake county storm blow through and no rain for us. Looks like another miss here. Hoping to break the streak, no measurable rain for 2 weeks and we missed the majority of the heavy rain during the wet/cool week in early June

Let us know what real snowstorms are like. Congrats on getting on the good side of 85 by a lot!

Currently a humid 91 degrees. Really hoping for rain the next few days. We have really avoided the rain here this month

No measurable rain. Going on 2 weeks without measurable rain. Everything has missed here by a couple miles last 2 weeks it seems. So close you can smell it!

We’ve done a tremendous job of missing storms here in the last week. 0.00” again. Feels good out this evening though

Amazing! We need to enjoy this while we can!

Water rescues in Nash/Franklin counties this morning- per WRAL

Idea of jackets/heat in June after the last few summers sounds awesome (and is).

Where was this setup in January... If it’s in the 50’s and raining in June, I can only imagine

Might be the first flood watch without a tenth of an inch of rain for me

We will see. My 80% chance of rain today so far has consisted of about 5 minutes of rainfall.

Not seeing the heavy rain from the us1 corridor west. Only seen a couple brief showers

Picked up 0.70” Yesterday and last night. FFW in effect today. We’ll see how much we can tack into the total

70% rain chances changed to 30% real quick today

0.25” total from 3 showers and a brief thunderstorm

0.12” from 3 showers. Suns out now, very muggy 87. Waiting on the afternoon storms to fire

78 with a moderate shower at the moment. 0.05"
