Thanks. Glad I’m not a crazy outlier. That 97 in my neighborhood is my house

[olafminesaw]

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.

[eyewall]

Microburst potential is significant today

[olafminesaw]

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

Explosive atmosphere for anything that developes

Cells already starting to pop up between Raleigh and Rocky Mount.  Anything that breaks through the CINH will have plenty of fuel today.

We hit 100.8 but mercifully an outflow from those storms hit and we’ve fallen to 95.1

[NorthHillsWx]

Outflow-cooled 89 now feels like fall lol. Storm east of here has an incredible amount of thunder coming from it 

[eyewall]

Microburst in Knightdale as seen looking east from Raleigh:

A bunch of stationary storms parked right over 95, would make for an interesting drive 

[Fantom X]

Wow managed to hit 100.6 today .. hottest day of heatwave. 

[marsman]

Down to 78 with this storm from 101.2 at 1:20pm. Wundermap shows 60's! east of Raleigh. 

edit: The low this morning was 77.6 at 6:20am. We're now at 77.3.

[yotaman]

98 here right now. Had a high of 99. Currently it is 98/83 for a feels like of 124.

[NorthHillsWx]

Picked up a grand total of 0.02” even though it thundered for at least 4 hours straight. Temps did drop below our morning low, all the way to 78.7

[cbmclean]

Picked up 0.65, and cooled down to 71.7!!

[olafminesaw]

89/73 with not a pop up in sight 

[calm_days]

most of today's radar !!

[yotaman]

Lots of thunder in my area but we completely missed out on the rain but the outflow cooled us down nicely to the low 80's from the upper 90's.

[GaWx]

A dry gust front (outflow boundary) that showed up well on radar moved SW into this area at midnight. Then at ~12:45AM, a small area of thunderstorms well to the E of the main area moved SW into this area producing only a few rumbles of thunder and light rain, which continues. Oddly enough, after blinking off and on ~20 times, my power finally went out ~1AM despite my not noticing a big gust of wind or any nearby CTG lightning.

Edit: Power came back on just before 1:55AM.

[cbmclean]

Another 0.92" last night, now at 1.57" for the week and 9.98" for the month.

[Met1985]

No rain in Concord but this morning already feels freaking amazing compared to earlier this week. Current temp is a cool 75.

Sometimes storms pick a spot and it just wants to rain there. You’re more than 8” ahead of our monthly total. Storms went all around my yard yesterday afternoon and last night. Rained for probably 3 hours total we picked up 0.02” 

[wncsnow]

We picked up .31 yesterday and now have over 5 for the month. Parts of McDowell had lots of trees down and power outages. 

[gman]

Grateful for the 1.08" of rain last night about 7:00. But the winds were bad and we got about 5 minutes of dime to nickel sized hail. What is amazing about the storm is that it came down from the north. We just don't get many storms that severe that make it over the mountains of South Carolina without breaking up. I guess it was a testament to how unstable the atmosphere was. There was large hail reported near the apple orchards in Henderson County. Has anyone heard if there was damage to the apple crop? 

[yotaman]

They say the heatwave is over then why is it 90/82 with a feels like temp of 112 in mby and it's almost noon.

It’s really not that bad out here today. Currently 91 with a HI of 99. Sadly, that feels fine after the last few days
