I believe an all-time of 104 is in jeopardy in Greensboro either JULY 3rd or the 4th, we shall see- I believe the highest temperature ever recorded in Raleigh, North Carolina was 106 °F which occurred just two years on July 5, 2024.

No significant changes with drought in NC with today's update-

High risk not issued very often this far out.

Funny from recent discussion NWS in Riverton, WY National Weather Service "Ridging should build across the area on Friday, bringing a warmer day and fewer showers and thunderstorms. The weekend forecast depends on what happens with an upper level low that will be dropping in from British Columbia. A few ensemble members show impacts as early as Friday night. However, models are usually too fast with these and most impacts would be Saturday or Sunday. And it is here where I bring up the famous Monty Python quote, "Now for something completely different".

Not good at all. We most likely see more water restrictions North Carolina Water Restrictions 2026 | Watering Schedule

Somewhat debatable depending upon who you ask. I have seen some strange things over the years. One might expect more reports in central NC from a DAY One forecast for Slight Risk from SPC----which had changed much with updates. With that said, there was not a Watch Issuance in NC, but one was issued for parts of VA, and the border counties of northwestern NC. Here is a preliminary verification map. Maybe not terrible, but like I said, one maybe would have expected at least a few reports in central NC----regardless of any watch. That's weather for you. SPC Severe Weather Event Review for Friday June 12, 2026.

Maybe some interest with this tool from the NC Climate Office. https://products.climate.ncsu.edu/weather/station-reviewer/ Used Mt Mitchell State Park as an example. https://products.climate.ncsu.edu/weather/station-reviewer/?station=MITC&period=YTD

...perhaps a "LID" was probably partly to blame----Nothing really strong enough to break it in past I-77? Used the sounding from GSO 00Z, since any convection was to be around that time frame across central NC. Relative humidity levels between 500 and 700 relatively low, evident on sounding, but maybe part of why little convection took place over the central NC. Always pieces to a puzzle. Just my thoughts.

Actually 101 is at moment for all networks Name: EW1728 Garner Provider: APRSWXNET/CWOP Valid: 11 Jun 2:27 PM EDT Temp: 101 °F 38 °C Dew Point: 80 °F 27 °C

Looks like they received 5.9 inches at top of Washington, but there could have been a touch more at some of the other high peaks but probably not based on the thermal profiles. Some modeling was a touch too cold, just my two cents. As everyone knows 1-2 degrees can make a huge difference.

If anyone is interested and has spent time in White Mountains in NH, you should check out the weather overnight and early morning. Fast moving shortwave ---SSE, and rather strong for this time of year. You have to like snow

This is nice too for actual values.
