  1. Denise, and Floyd rainfall totals it does look like more than half came from non tropical systems :
  2. The Graham station is getting close to it's all time monthly precip record of 16.85" set in September 1999 (a tropical system i assume). Up to 14.12 and counting.
  3. Another 24 hours or so before dewpoints finally drop below 70. Should put the streaks near second place all time
  4. It has been worse than normal, although July is typically fairly consistent in that regard. I think the rain makes it feel worse because RH% has somewhat of an impact on how humid it feels as well, not just the dewpoint.
  5. Looks like some convergence over I40, surprise surprise that's where I would expect higher chances of flash flooding this evening
  6. Looks like the graham station is currently missing the data from yesterday, but it was prior to yesterday at 12" and the record was 12.01" going back to 1902.
  7. RAH has the highest flash flood warning count on record YTD
  8. I thought I'd pop in here because of the curiosity of the FFW over just Charlottesville. Don't think I've ever seen a warning for just one city like that before
  9. Soggy weather will continue until morale improves
  10. Yeah, GSO has 6 consecutive hours of thunderstorm obs. That is pretty rare I would have to imagine. It wasn't just occasional thunder either, it was mostly at least every minute or two during that timeframe
  11. I guess I'm not complaining, but lol
  12. The Hires NAM did a good job (blind squirrel). I can't recall any other tropical system that had the same kind of totals that didn't feature either a stall for a significant period of time or some kind of mesoscale training thunderstorms far away from the center. Most of the precip fell within a 6-12 hour period and featured the core of the TS
  13. Precip departures For June: GSO -.25 RAH -.42 FAY -.15 Charlotte +1.39 Greenville +1.88 Asheville +2.16 Wilmington +.67
  14. 89/73 with not a pop up in sight
  15. A bunch of stationary storms parked right over 95, would make for an interesting drive
  16. Also this mornings sounding smashed the all time record for ML cape for the 12z soundings data set at GSO: 3,632 vs the old record of 3,588 set in 1983. In fact only four soundings have ever exceeded 3,000
  17. Current ML lapse rates at 8+ and ML cape around 4500 near Fayetteville along with a touch of shear. Gotta watch out for popcorn storms with nasty microbursts, especially in the sand hills.
  18. Already at 88/73. That Excessive heat warning may be needed after all at this rate
  19. GSO has managed to record at least a trace of precip for the past 15 consecutive days going back to June 5th. Somehow that amounted to a MTD precip anomaly of only +.16, with the highest single day total being .64. Raleigh is at +1.02, Fayetteville +1.04, Asheville +1.28, Charlotte +.86, Danville -.49, Wilmington +.31
  20. Likely to be the first major hurricane to make landfall in Mexico in the month of June for either basin. Also an unusual track for the time of year with only handful of hurricanes to ever have made landfall along that stretch of coastline this early.
  21. Sounds like Friday could be a decent severe day Mid-Atlantic and Southeast... Pattern amplification will occur Friday as one shortwave trough progresses from the Mid-South to the southeast Atlantic/Mid-Atlantic coast, in advance of another wave digging southward over the Great Lakes. An associated surface cyclone will develop east-northeastward across the Mid-Atlantic late Friday and to the southern New England coast by Saturday morning, while a trailing cold front crosses the Gulf coast, north FL and the southeast Atlantic coast. Within cloud breaks the warm sector will consist of afternoon temperatures near or above 80 F and boundary-layer dewpoints in the 60s, which will drive MLCAPE of 1000-2000+ J/kg and minimal convective inhibition by early-mid afternoon. Increasing midlevel flow with time and forcing for ascent along and just ahead of the front will support storm initiation with the potential for storm clusters and some supercells capable of producing damaging winds, large hail and a few tornadoes. If wave timing and thermodynamic profiles remain favorable, some portion of this area may warrant an upgrade in later updates.
  22. Entering the time of year when below average temps are very much welcome. Seems like a cool stretch is likely in about 10 days
  23. Classic convergence. It's a good thing that LP has remained pretty weak
