Yes, but reporting locations can change a lot over the years due to construction, land-use pattern change etc. It is my understanding that sometimes they even move or replace the whole apparatus to a different site on the ground. I have no idea if any of that has happened at CAE, but it would be interesting to see. On a somewhat related topic, has anyone else in NC noticed that over the last 10 years or so, RDU seems to be threatening Fayetteville's preeminence as climatlogically the warmest location in the state? I remember Greg Fishel remarking on it from time to time, at least once with what appeared to be a noticeable tone of skepticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is clear that RDU is almost always considerably warmer than places very close by like Northern Durham, Hillsborough and Roxboro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is clear that RDU is almost always considerably warmer than places very close by like Northern Durham, Hillsborough and Roxboro. Either UHI or perhaps just shoddy site placement. A few years ago there was a effort by an AGW skeptic to document what he felt was crappy weather station conditions (like too close to asphalt) contributing to a spurious warming signal. His thesis seems exaggerated, but I suspect that it can lead to poor quality data in localized instances. Hence my original musings about CAE.

Avdave Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I wasnt home this afternoon but looked like some decent storms came through SW Wake today. CocoRahs has .54" in it. Not bad Ill take it. Now back to the humid conditions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's tantalizingly close to Wilson, but so far no love. We could use the rain too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Getting quick intense little storms in this on shore flow, had 5 or 6 really close lightning strikes to add to the fun. Overall the rain hasnt been to heavy since it doesnt last more than 10-15 mins any given time. Edit: little over 1" in the gauge now storms still forming and moving west, should die off as the sun sets..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Picked up .27" from a storm just as I got home and it looks like another storm moving in within the next 30 minutes or so. I am now up to 6.02" for the month and I should be adding to it today, tomorrow, and Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
