  1. Cat 3 at 8 am. Aircraft confirmed. Whatever the max potential for this part of the Atlantic is, this storm is going to reach it
  2. I’m excited/terrified for August and September
  3. This storm looks like it will be one of those buzz saw looking hurricanes. What a specimen for this early in the season
  4. Satellite presentation looks like a hurricane. This things rapidly intensifying folks
  5. This is shaping up to be the worst summer of my life. Starting to. Hope we get a tropical system to keep it interesting
  6. Currently 89 with a heat index of 93. High of 86.2 yesterday broke a long streak of 90+ here
  7. 0.00” meanwhile my buddy in Hyde county said he has had over 6” this week
  8. This week’s drought monitor illustrates the severity of this dry stretch. Nearly 60% of NC is now in a moderate drought. That’s up from 0% last week. With today’s rain missing the central part of the state and no guarantees over the next week, this could escalate quickly.
  9. It’s the first time I’ve recorded triple digits imby since I have had a station (~5 years). I have an ambient ws-2902. My station is away from concrete and in the open sun 80+ % of the day so I think it’s in an optimal spot for maximum temp readings 100.2 was the max for the day. It was above 100 for less than 15 minutes
  10. RDU is over 100. We are nipping at it here. 99.7, hottest reading of the year EDIT: we have cracked 100 for the first time this year imby. 100.2 at the moment. May still be ticking up. Please make it stop. This is the most brutal summer I can remember for it being only June
  11. It’s getting bad quick with this heatwave on top of it. No rain in April/may is a different animal than a bone dry June or July. 100 degrees on top of ground that hasn’t seen a raindrop in 3+ weeks is brutal
  12. End of week trending drier again. Really looking likely we’ll end the month under 1/2” rain
  13. You exceeded our monthly total to date
  14. Absolutely no rain here. Soybeans and corn are praying Thursday works out. Too late for corn probably
  15. I’m driving through new Bern now. You can tell it in the corn. Farmers in for a rough summer.
  16. We haven’t had a meaningful rain since June 4 (a brief but heavy shower). Looks extremely dry here through the week now. I think this is going to be our first month below 1/2” total since I have lived here. Add on the brutal heatwave and this is turning into a serious drought situation
  17. It’s during weather like this that I question why I choose to live here
