yotaman Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Another day another downpour. Picked up .56" this morning. Which brings my now 5 day total to 5.23". Saw a report on my FB feed that Hatteras has had over 19" this month as of this morning. I am up to 5.82" for the month. Side note: Check radar before taking dogs out for walk. We got soaked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have just missed this yesterday... A RECORD RAINFALL OF 2.49 INCHES WAS SET AT NEW BERN NC YESTERDAY. THIS BREAKS THE OLD RECORD OF 1.39 INCHES SET IN 1974. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted July 28, 2018 Author Share Posted July 28, 2018 Let's see how this plays out through the afternoon. I'm right in the middle of the "best chance". NWS RaleighVerified account @NWSRaleigh 3m3 minutes ago 1:40pm Radar Update: Spotty showers/storms beginning to develop along and east of a stalled cold front situated across central #NCwx. Expect this activity to multiply over the next few hours. Strongest storms will be capable of producing isolated wind gusts and heavy rainfall.

cbmclean Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Per the radar, Downeast should be getting pounded now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbmclean Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I think I saw a cell forming almost overhead but it moved off to the south and east to the west and north nothing but blue skies. Judging by the radar steering flow is very week. Alost have to have something form on top of you or barely upstream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted July 29, 2018 Author Share Posted July 29, 2018 LOL --- an outflow boundary chewed up and destroyed a warned storm that was within 2 miles of us!! Third storm/cluster that has fizzled on us today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that outflow boundaries were good because they provided lift. Outflow boundaries can act as a lifting mechanism, working on unstable air to get thunderstorms going, as you said. However, if a thunderstorm is already in progress (and given that a storm wants warm, moist air to consume so that it can continue to survive), and it encounters the cool outflow from another nearby storm, it’s likely that its fuel supply will be cut off by the cool outflow, and the storm will diminish or dissipate. Hope that helps! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that helps! Ah yes, thank you. Then perhaps it is not a coincidence that I never got any action today yet two vigorous cells formed in close proximity.

Iceagewhereartthou Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 So far, GSP has reached 90 just 8 days this month, and just 25 for the year. Only one day has reached higher than 94, which was a 96. No 90s forecast on the 15 day outlook. When we get to the end of July and there's no major heat through mid August I breathe a sigh of relief that summers days are numbered. While we've had a lot of rain, we've also had a lot of days with tolerable DP s in the 60s. Just got back from two weeks in CA and I'll take our upper 80s with some humidity over their "dry" 100 + every time! Also visited the coast and waaaay more humid there, been a pretty nice summer so far in the upstate. For comparison, CLT has seen 42 days hit 90, with 8 reaching 95 or higher with a high of 98. Overall, significantly hotter in CLT. CAE has seen 57 days of 90+, with 27 reaching 95+, 3 reaching 100+ with a high of 103. Pretty hot stuff, but about par for CAE. Undoubtedly they will add to the 90+ and 95+ counts for awhile yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbmclean Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Took a peak at the NWS precipitation map. Year to date the eastern 1/2 of the coastal plain have been wet while the I-95 corridor have been a bit dryish. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted July 29, 2018 Author Share Posted July 29, 2018 And the wet get wetter? NWS RaleighVerified account @NWSRaleigh 32m32 minutes ago [1215 PM]: Showers and thunderstorms will form this afternoon with locally heavy rainfall possible. The greatest chance of precipitation looks to be across the Coastal Plain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbmclean Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Interestingly, as far absolute amounts go the Carolina Piedmont is notable for its dryness in the entire SE quadrant of the country. Again this map is year to date. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbmclean Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Got 0.23 out of a weakening cell. The usual Wilson nickel and dime approach. On the bright side I've passed 8 " for the month. Hoping for some more in the next couple of days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SENC Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Since yesterday Heavy Down pours with Thunder & light Showers have persisted since I posted yesterday.. 75/81 Humidity 93% Dewpoint 72.5% Pressure 30.09 Winds SSW @ 3mph Precipitation in the Last 24 hours, 2.10 inches 15.00" even Month to Date (for July) Average is 6.50 +/- Current conditions 74F Cloudy & light Rain Beach Water Temp 83F I thought I saw DownEast Floating SouthEast, by the pier on beach Cam awhile ago... In His Ark... this mornings AFD.. Oh Joy as of 300 am Monday...the synoptic pattern has not changed in the past 24 hours. High pressure entrenched over the Atlantic and a developing trough to the west. The 850 mb gradient tightens this morning and the models develop a 20 to 25 knot jet which will continue to pump the moisture into the region. This deep tropical moisture is reflected in the precipitable water with values between 2.0" and 2.5". Currently a strong short-wave trough is moving north along the coast and will shift north of the area during the morning. Other weaker waves are seen in the models but confidence with their timing is not high but with the instabilities of 1200 to 1600 j/kg, convection will continue to develop through the period.

WinstonSalemArlington Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 All this gloom and extreme raininess has me in a summer affective disorder. I just read that in Wilmington, NC, since January 1, around 55 inches of rain has fallen on that city. That is 24 inches above average for this point in the year! And it's been rain to beat the band there this morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can get a couple weeks of dry weather then it would be fine but the ground is soaking wet and if did have something pop up close to home and hit it would be rough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
