Didn’t matter, everything evaporated heading into central NC again
-
Yea definitely good rains around but feel left out especially at the farm. Monday is the end of planting season for cotton farmers and a lot of those areas east of here have missed out entirely. Many farmers will be making tough decisions this year. Also upstairs of falls lake has been relatively dry through this period, and the lake has continued to drop today. Wedge needs to erode so the rest of us can make a dent in the drought
-
We’ve had 0.58” total here (0.51”, 0.07”, TR) keep seeing these 3-7” amounts in upstate and Charlotte
-
Raleigh precip shield has held strong
-
Rain just doesn’t want to to make it to Raleigh. Around 1/2” total for the period still
-
I checked the radar and saw them doing the split around you
-
South Charlotte between this and the early May rain has been the jackpot in the region
-
Finally got some rain at some point last night. Picked up 0.51” which brings MTD to 1.36”
-
Canes get beat and we zero out on rain in Raleigh… Coincidence???
-
As soon as that outflow blew through with nearest cell near RDU I knew we were screwed
-
0.01” here. Yay
-
Hottest day of year. 96.6 here, blew out the forecast of 91. Outflow just rolled through. Praying the storms behind it keep popping
-
Shewww we blew by the forecast high today- 94.5 right now
-
It’s been so long since we’ve had the radar popping in the afternoon like this
-
That’s wild! I wonder if the concrete dry ground coupled with the rates made it worse, kinda like flooding in the west
-
Drought worsened significantly in NC with virtually zero rain over last two weeks. Hopefully this is the peak
-
The ATL flooding was from a small cell that really only affected half the metro. Very small cell but extreme rates where it sat
-
Me too, though until yesterday I feel like RDUs readings have mostly matched surrounding areas this spring 94.3 here today, think RDU hit 95
-
Back door front looks significantly delayed tomorrow in triangle, likely to be close to if not just as hot as today now. Delayed but not denied!
-
It’s been rock steady. I think this is the first real consistent rainfall any of us will have seen since last August. It has been delayed slightly here Thursday which likely means Thursday gets well into 90s before the storms arrive. Can imagine them being frisky with that kind of heat to work with
-
That’s crazy! 94.8 for the high here (hottest day of year so far) but a far cry from the *at least* 97 RDU hit. Guess the drought/heat spike theory is back for RDU sensor being warmer than everywhere else
-
In case anyone was wondering, overnight and morning trends look great for NC
-
Yea ensembles haven’t really budged. I’m confident we see daily storm chances starting Wednesday/Thursday depending where you are and continuing for the next week. If we can get near normal rainfall it will be a huge win considering where we stand currently. Drove over falls lake here earlier and it is shocking how much it has fallen in last 2 weeks
-
Would be par for the course if we watch most of this go west of apps and around us but at a minimum it looks like a return to at least scattered afternoon storms across NC most days
-
Ensembles haven’t changed much. Still looks wet. Only concerning thing I have is boundary setting up north and west of triangle area. Seems to have trended stronger with SER recently meaning boundary is pushed back somewhat
