Accords are tanks. Had one several years ago and it’s by far the most reliable car I’ve driven. 

Yup! I loved my 2014, so I wanted my next car to be an Accord too.

What’d you pull the trigger on? There are some insane deals to be had right now. 

I bought a 2018 Accord from Lake Norman Genesis. (I would highly recommend them - great service, no pressure, let me drive it to Hickory so my mechanic could give it a look over.)

I had a 2014 Accord. Wanted to upgrade a few years, and the older model became my youngest son’s first car. So, we both got new (to us) cars today!

3.83 and still raining here. Wow!

Been back and forth to Huntersville a few times from Hickory today (buying a car), and there have been several torrential downpours. Crazy stuff!

Wow! This rain has been training over Hickory since about 6 PM last night. I have over 3 inches of rainfall so far.

No measurable rain IMBY since last Tuesday. Opportunities look better this week. Here’s hoping they materialize…

Wow. Crazy totals for you in McDowell County. I have right at 1.25 inches. You tripled my total.

59 with heavy rain currently in Wolf. We've picked up 7.66" since midnight!

7.66?!?! That’s crazy.

Everyone ok?? Thats a mean looking storm to my south


.

Just some brief wind and moderate rain. Not too much to report here. Maybe further south it was worse.

Well, I have a very rare tornado warning right now. Severe t-storm capable of producing a tornado. Radar indicated some rotation. I’m not too worried. Tornados in these parts are just cut all to pieces by the terrain. Usually very short track and not too intense.

Hopefully, we get some decent rain out of it, though.

Yes, @MountainMarvel was not a prolific poster, but he always had beautiful pictures to share when he did. I remember the snowfall pictures he would post as being “soft” and “gentle”. I know that’s a weird way to describe a photo, but that’s the best way I can think to describe it. There would often be a slight intentional blur to his images, I think.

Sad to hear he passed away several years ago. Thanks for sharing the news @nchighcountrywx .

I got just over half an inch in my backyard yesterday. That was much appreciated.

After four straight days of 100+ temperatures, my PWS high yesterday was “only” 96. We also got a couple hundredths of drizzle. Still need much more.

Looks like a decent storm to the south of Hickory currently. 

Yeah, I need it to drift a little NW. nothing here at the house except outflow, so far.

The outflow from those storms in Caldwell County have dropped the temp to 81.7 F right now. It’s actually comfortable outside. This is after we hit over 102 F earlier this afternoon.

It’s just after 11 PM, and the outside temp IMBY is 82.4 F. This is so anomalous.

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.

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.

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.

Man, that Raleigh forecast reminds of Phoenix. That’s just unreal for these parts. (Unlike Phoenix, it will not be a “dry heat”.)

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.

Forecast few points look fantastic for the next several days, not getting out of the 50s.

Closing in on 3.5” since about 8:10. 4 mini landslides on my back hill. The entire bank is gone in spots with waterfalls and a foot of standing water at the back of the yard. I had just finished overhauling the landscaping anddddd it’s gone. Plants uprooted as well. 

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.

Same here. 2.4 inches in one hour!

That line finally reached us here in Hickory. It’s all yellows and reds. Heavy stuff!

Getting heavy rain again and the radar looks juicy. 

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.
