  1. It’s just after 11 PM, and the outside temp IMBY is 82.4 F. This is so anomalous.
  2. My PWS registered a high of 103.6 F this afternoon just before 4:00, 0.1 F higher than yesterday. Driving around town about the same time, our other car’s thermometer hit 108 F near the Target shopping center! While driving. Not parked on the asphalt somewhere. That’s insane. I can’t stand this heat. It’s horrible. It’s currently 95.2 F at home, in the shade.
  3. My PWS at home registered a high of 103.5 F today, around 5:00 PM. When I left work at 5:30, my shaded car thermometer parked on blacktop registered 107 F, in full shade for several hours. The car thermometer had only dropped to 103 F by the end of my 15-minute drive home. Conclusion: It is hot.
  4. My PWS at home registered a high of 101.2 F today. When I left work at 5:30, my sun-baked car thermometer parked on blacktop registered 105 F. When I parked in the full shade at church this evening, I remained in the car for about ten minutes until 6:00. The car thermometer held firm at 99F, all that time, in full shade.
  5. Man, that Raleigh forecast reminds of Phoenix. That’s just unreal for these parts. (Unlike Phoenix, it will not be a “dry heat”.)
  6. I received 0.35 inch last night but only 0.06 inch of rain today. Lots of thunder and lightning in both cases, but not much actual rainfall to show for it.
  7. Forecast few points look fantastic for the next several days, not getting out of the 50s.
  8. Oh, that sucks, @BooneWX . So sorry. We wanted the rain, and when it finally came, it came in buckets. I have almost 3 inches in the same time period, but it’s slacked off here. No damage, yet, that I can tell.
  9. Same here. 2.4 inches in one hour!
  10. That line finally reached us here in Hickory. It’s all yellows and reds. Heavy stuff!
  11. It’s remained west of us all day, but some more storms look to be popping on trajectories that may get us again. Regardless, you remain the winner amongst us foothills folk.
  12. Same here. It feels different outside compared to the wedge experience we had over the weekend. While not particularly hot, it is decidedly warmer and the humidity is more noticeable. I think pop-up storms are likely this afternoon.
  13. 1.82 inches so far for me. Not bad, but I thought I would have had a bit more. McDowell County seems to have been the jackpot area in the foothills. @wncsnow. your totals are rocking!
  14. I have accumulated 0.59 inch of rainfall since it began yesterday.
  15. Haven't seen a forecast like this in a long time. Let's hope it materializes...
  16. This is such a hilarious point-and-click forecast: A 70% chance of rain! [emoji16] Between 2-3 PM. [emoji2955] Less than a tenth of an inch. [emoji95]
  17. Yes, the low humidity has been fantastic for the lawn. No brown patch or fungus issues with temps and humidity like this.
  18. This has been a huge bust IMBY. Before this last round I had only had 0.31 inch of rainfall storm total. That’s a far cry from the inch-plus in the forecast. Ouch.
  19. Heavy rain on 321 between Lincolnton and Hickory. Driving back from a day of disc golf with my son in the Charlotte area. It’s been a while since I have seen such heavy rain as this. .
  20. The long forgotten, but much cherished, smell of petrichor is in the air in Hickory! Woohoo! .
  21. 0.02 inch today! Is that a win? .
  22. It’s been warm to hot these past few days, but it’s been a “dry heat”. Very different than peak summer humidity. I suppose this is what living in AZ is like. .
  23. Only 0.09 inch here. It is so very dry… .
