Solid hit today. 1.56". Could have had more except for some untimely swerves. 3.77" MTD.

Brutal gradient in Orange and Durham counties. Verbatim would be great for MBY. We shall see.

A disappointing haul this weekend: 0.07" last night and 0.13" today. RAH AFD is bullish on activity overnight, and radar is blossoming around Charlotte area, but mostly looks like a threat to the sandhills.

Visiting Stone Mountain State Park NW of Winston-Salem. Not to hot but quite humid. Late morning thunder booming as we hit the summit was neat.

As noted by @GaWx in the Tropical forum, a non-zero chance of tropical moisture being drawn up through the SE even if the disturbance doesn't develop. It would be most welcome (as long as it didn't go overboard).

I have missed out on most of the real downpours so far this month. Only 2.03" MTD, which isn't horrible, by any means, but it's not making any progress into the deficit. Hopefully my time will come.

Odd pattern to the cell movement on the RAH radar at the moment. Some cells moving east, some moving west, some mostly stationary.

Just getting crumbs compared to Wake and Harnett, but back building of moderate rain has yielded 0.40". 1.93" for the month.

First time catching a Wilson Warbirds game, and of course, during the third at bat, torrential rain, with lightning and thunder. Only 0.03 at the house.

Wildfire sprouting in Brunswick county. It's been dry down there too.

0.25" from a robust but quick a moving cell. 1.50" for the week and month.

Looks like a legit cell just parked over the center of the county. Hopefully that is in the Falls lake watershed.

After being teased by cells all afternoon one finally caught us. 1.07" total with plenty of good thunder.

So technical question: I know that outflow from one cell can kill another. But how does any cell manage to last any length of time and sometimes move 100+ miles without always chocking on its own outflow since that spreads out in every direction?
