This weekend's disturbance may already be causing problems east of Raleigh. The line that came through RDU last night stalled to the east, Flood Warnings up from Greenville south to Kinston, no strangers to flooding there.
Going back to my comment about runway construction at RDU, here's a sat photo from 06/08. Compared to the Google Maps satellite photo, there is some significant tree/forest removal going on in the area. The station is circled in red:
For what it's worth I recorded 101.9 for a high on 07/05.
I was in Maine for the first week of July so I'm delayed on the monthly wrap-up. I needed a sweater most nights/mornings, but that's all I'll say.
June totals:
Rain: 1.00", .26" of that was from 6/30. 20 days without rain.
High: 100.9 on 06/26
Low: 49.1 on 06/01
The new runway is also going up right where the station is. I wonder if anymore vegetation has been removed or if there is any construction equipment nearby.
Not counting yesterday's trace, day 19 of no rain.
96.3 at 1:20pm today. Yesterday turned out to be a "pleasant" 87 for a high, even did a little garden work.
I look at my lawn and say "look how they massacred my boy..."
91.1 yesterday at 2pm. No rain from passing storms, but a lot of smoke came through in the afternoon. Sky was orange for a bit. Didn't hear anything about a wildfire anywhere.
Whopping 0.01" of rain today. 1.2" for the month, most of which came down on the 3rd. Hopefully we'll get something on Sunday to get the garden going and wash away the pollen. Meanwhile, in Dubai.....
Rain total from yesterday's storm stayed at .01"
Fantastic morning to have the windows open if you can handle a little dust and pollen, low of 58 at 7:30am. Might see the first 90+ of the season next week.
0.01" so far, some branches down in the yard from the wind earlier. Could use a good downpour to clean up the pollen, not seeing any precip in the forecast for some time.
As for the eclipse, went from 77 to 72 and breezy. Very noticeable!
