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?
-
One of the most infuriating weather phenomena to someone wanting rain is when nice juicy cell is gaining strength but not yet decaying and is targeted right at you but just before it hits you a random outflow from another storm comes along and cuts its "legs" out from underneath. This is how that makes me feel:

What did the farm get for this month?
-
Missed the good stuff today but 0.25" as a consolation prize, 1.16" for Fri - Sunday. Looks like we'll finish with 4.35" for June, almost all in the second half. Grass is actually pretty green here. We'll see how it survives the big heat.

I live in the north end of town, near Lake Wilson (which is now mostly a puddle). Was just getting on I-95 heading south on the way to a birthday party when I hit those storms. They were torrential.

Went back and calculated: June 2025 10.00 July 2025 3.91 Aug 2025 3.18 Sept 2025 0.66 Oct 2025 2.96 Nov 2025 1.37 Dec 2025 2.15 Jan 2026 1.06 Feb 2026 2.47 Mar 2026 1.91 Apr 2026 1.57 May 2026 1.98 June 2025 - May 2026 33.22 June 2026 4.10 (so far)
-
A disappointing 0.24" when areas to the south of town got 2+ inches. But still had 2.87" this week and 4.10" for the month, which is my first 4+ inch month since at least last June (my PWS records only go back a year). Rain didn't use to be this hard.
-
0.67" today. Let's do it again tomorrow.
-
This has been building for ~9 months, with a dry fall, a bone-dry winter and a record dry spring. It will be many months until we get out. Barring a Matthew-level tropical system inundating the state (which brings problems of its own) I think the reasonable best-case scenario is to slow the bleeding until well into fall when the temps cool down and hopefully the super el nino southern stream ramps up.
-
Picked up another 0.13" from a straggling cell. 1.68" daily total.
-
1.55" for the day. 3.06 for the month.
-
One hopes that before that happens the developing super-ultra-mega-El Nino will break through with a southern stream fire hose.
-
Got 0.28" from the line. Hoping for more tonight
-
Really nice line of storms plowing across the north half of NC ATM. Need it to trend south a bit to hit me. North Wake could be in the crosshairs.
-
Finally hit 1.00," for the month.
-
Some potential for non-trivial rain on Monday. Keeping fingers crossed.
-
Too soon.
-
Snuck in 0.24". Still waiting for a flush hit
-
0.22 in Wilson. It is still physically possible to rain
-
Nice cell popping up in SE Wake now!
