Greensboro's all time record max min is likely to be set for a single month, the lowest it has dropped was 68 degrees which would beat the old record of 67 set in 2016 and 2015 (July as well).
We are only +2 on the month, I think that the lack of a break from the heat/humidity is what has made this July feel worse than the last few.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
