Yes. Allowed me to get down to 63 this morning.  High today 92

[NorthHillsWx]

Picked up 0.10” from early morning showers

[Solak]

Had 0.42" from a pre-dawn thunderstorm! Sure needed it.

[yotaman]

Cloudy but no rain so far today. Currently 84/78.

[Iceagewhereartthou]

Hot yestetday but not as bad as i thought it would be. Made it up to about 86 or 87 and des in the low to mid 60s so not horrible.  

Still havent hit 90 IMBY, 88 is about the highest so far. Not bad for me.

[Lookout]

Thankful for the relatively low dps the past few days.. especially when when compared to southeast la the past few days...where temps have been in the mid to upper 90s and dps in the low to mid 80s. HI  values are nasty,  into the 120s. Currently there are several stations in the 120s...including a  couple as high as 126 and 127.  One of those stations yesterday had a  HI  of around 131.  NO airport had a  hi of 121 a little bit ago. Truly  ridiculous.

 

[Solak]

Thundershower about to graze us. Dewpoint just jumped up to 79. Currently 88/79 = 103 HI ---- the most uncomfortable day so far of the current warmth.

I remember a few years back the upper midwest had a heat wave and Minneapolis had an HI in the 130s. Highest I've ever heard of.

Maybe this was it?

I’d be surprised if that just grazed you in Clayton! Looks like a nice storm

Yeah, it back built bigtime. Now it's warned, and a FFA with it. Got about 0.25 so far.

[yotaman]

Picked up .19" from the severe warned storm this afternoon at my house. I was I New Bern during it and they got pounded by it. Easily got well over an inch from it, 40 mph winds, and intense lightning but thankfully no hail.

[Solak]

Ended up with 0.45". South of Garner, someone picked up 3.27" from that storm!

A comfortable 66 degrees to start the day..

[yotaman]

Miserable out there. Currently 91/80.

[Solak]

Had a quick afternoon shower (0.15"). Temp dropped down to 79, then rebounded quickly back to a sultry 90/79 = 104. Yuck!

[yotaman]

The July doldrums are here. Hazy, Hot, and Humid for the foreseeable future. Currently 91/80 and dry. No rain forecasted until Sunday.

Yeah we're in the gauntlet the next few weeks and there's no escaping unless you're high mtns. I truly hate the weather this time of year! 

[Iceagewhereartthou]

95 at GSP, 98 at CAE, both yearly highs. 

I've noticed CAE has not flirted with 100 yet, normally weeks like this gives them some 100s. Not sure why but they've managed to avoid it so far. Hasn't dropped below 70 there since 6/25.

[yotaman]

Dew points are down today. Currently 91/70.

[Fantom X]

90/81 here & party sunny, spent an hour outside reinstalling my PWS that the landscapers knocked down! - and took a shower and sitting in the AC an hour later, i'm still roasting

hoping for a passing shower- there are a few cells to my NW

[NorthHillsWx]

Picked up a whopping 0.08” after about 3 hours of rain 

[Fantom X]

another very humid day- 88/78 here with the typical cumulus starting to pop up

 

[gman]

Nice 45 minute rain dumped 0.45”. Temp dropped from 94 to 77. 

[yotaman]

Had a storm blow up just to the east of me, didn't even cool us down a degree. No outflow from it unfortunately. Currently 90/77

[NorthHillsWx]

Pretty funny to be in a flash flood/severe thunderstorm warning and not get a drop of rain

[wncsnow]

.55 today from a severe storm that just missed to the east. Some power outages and downed trees in the eastern part of the county from a downburst

[yotaman]

92/79 and dry. Chances of rain went from 60% down to 20% for the next few days.

[Cary]

Norfolk at 101.

Edit: now 102, new record.

[jburns]

Now this is a hot day.  95º, 80º dew point, 111.3 feels like temp. My grass can wait.

[yotaman]

Hot 95/80 here earlier today too. Still 90/78 at 6:20 PM.
