Hot and dry. That’s how long range looks

Actually might move over ocracoke. Surprised there isn’t a tornado warning

Very strong waterspout showing up on radar off ocracoke right now.

Yea Triangle to Triad (<1.5” from the past two week “wet” period) are absolutely not out of the woods

RDU only recorded 0.49” with the system and even that paltry total was the wettest day there since March 16

We finished with 0.71” from the event which brought the mtd total to 0.85” which now exceeds the entire month of April at both my location and RDU, if that puts into context how dry last month was. It now looks likely given a few more rain chances we will break 1” of rain for the month, which normally wouldn’t excite me but with the way it’s been that is a serious milestone

Man Greenville to Charlotte got smoked today

Haha I’ll blame something. Southern wake got over 1.5” radar estimate. This is still our biggest rain in forever

Another underperformer in Raleigh, though we’re at 0.68” including yesterday’s shower. Good rain but was pretty certain we’d get at least an inch given forecasts and models. MTD 0.82” which equals our entire month of April rainfall here. It’s still raining a little so these are not final totals

We’re not going to break 3/4” here so today’s rain while helpful will not get near close enough to alleviate the drought. Realistically we need what we got today twice a week to get back on track

Good rainfall rates appear to be filling in west of here

Drought canceled

Little on the low end here with 0.40” total so far but hopeful for more this morning

Picked up 0.14” from a pretty decent band of showers I wasn’t really expecting this afternoon. Good start

Wouldn’t that be some sh*t

Really has continued to look like a widespread soaking is coming tonight/tomorrow. First time in forever it hasn’t collapsed up to this point. There’s still time to fail lol

Yes you are correct. RDU was the cutoff we got a little more than there but this map is garbage

This is too much for Raleigh. I got 0.15” there is no way downtown got that much more. Also the farm in Louisburg had less than 0.20” and its SE of Louisburg on that map. So that is likely too high as well. Honestly cut these totals in half

Just 0.15” today but happy to get anything at this point

While it certainly won’t be the rain we were hoping for the cool steady rain is making for quite a pleasant morning here. It pushed just far enough west for Raleigh and the farm in Louisburg to get into the rain shield

If today’s system was in winter the cliff diving would be epic like epic epic

Tomorrow’s system is going to have a painfully tight gradient in rainfall with amounts over 1/2” and under 1/10” likely spanning a single county

Anything coming through a NW flow is going to underperform in QPF department regardless what models show. That has become more than evident over the last year

Yep… Triangle will be lucky to net 0.25”. Sorry for jinxing it… That being said I’ll take any measurable rainfall I can get and it will help with soil moisture at the surface as it will be an all day dreary scenario

Monthly stats- it was a wild month for swings temp wise. Lowest temp was 32.6 while we peaked at 93.7. Had 4 straight days over 90 and 6 total for the month. That was countered with 4 mornings in the 30’s. Lots of areas around here saw frosts and freezes that were past climo. The real story of the month will be the lack of rainfall. Just 0.83” total IMBY. I think RDU was a tick above that as they got a little more from the first rainfall in early April but I think they were likely below 1” as well. This was the 4th month of the last 8 I have recorded under 1” imby
