July 2025 obs

[yotaman]

Hot and humid here

 Currently it is 93/82 HI at 118.

Edit: Had a high of 95. HI soared up to 121 at one point. Just a super hot and humid day here in eastern NC 

[NorthHillsWx]

Just had a nasty lightning storm. 0.18” in short order 

[GaWx]

At my location, the last 10 days have had an enormous contrast between the first 5 days and the last 5:

7/9-13: 6.35” total/rain every day with lots of street flooding and some flooding on my property/lots of standing water

7/14-18: only light amounts a couple of days totaling ~0.10”

Today’s rain brought me to 6.73” for the month but we’ve caught rogue storms a few times last 5 days. The widespread heavy rains have definitely been replaced with typical hit or miss storms during that period in central NC 

[NorthHillsWx]

Just had a cell blow up overhead and drop 0.21”

[yotaman]

Another miserable July day. High of 96 with dew points around 80 most of the day

Getting slammed by storms

Picked up 1.61” for a daily total of 1.82”which brings the monthly total to 8.55” 

[marsman]

.22" after a high of 97.4 at 1pm. I could swear it thundered straight for 20 minutes last night.

[gman]

 We are in desperate need of rain in the Greenville area, but it is not looking good for the next week or so.

You can't loose this month.  I got 0.62" of crumbs, with monthly total of 2.53".

We’ve literally had cells blow up over my house 3 straight days but the big deal was that large storm that came through yesterday evening. As rainy as it’s been here some areas west of here have double what I do bc of the tropical system that missed my backyard mostly. That makes this months rain more impressive to me bc all but about 1/2 an inch has come from afternoon storms and not a tropical system. I haven’t had to water the yard since the calendar flipped to July 

 

[GaWx]

A nice dry outflow boundary ahead of a small area of convection has just come ESE through here with winds picking up. We’ll see if I get much rain.

Edit: There was no rain here as it slid by just to my south.

[yotaman]

High of 95 today. Dew points once again hovered around 80 all day. So tired of the heat. We did have a nice thunderstorm around 1:30 am that dropped .55" on us.

[marsman]

.78" in about 20 minutes. Unreal. Down to 78 from a high of 95 at 12:35. 

[olafminesaw]

Another 24 hours or so before dewpoints finally drop below 70. Should put the streaks near second place all time

[GaWx]

An outflow boundary just came through here. No rain here yet. Hearing thunder. Very dark skies just to the south.

 Edit 7:45PM: Here there was a collision of that aforementioned outflow boundary, which actually appeared to be a seabreeze on closer examination, and one moving in nearly the opposite direction (from inland) that was true outflow from a well inland thunderstorm complex. That collision lead to an area of thunderstorms near the coast and which soon after made it here. There had just been a short period of heavy rain (first since July 13th) though it has for now lightened up. Looking at radar, the thunderstorm area may hang around for awhile. Crossing my fingers this doesn’t turn into a heavy rainfall event.
Now moderately heavy rain. There’s been some rather hefty gusts with this, too.

 High these last two days has been a very uncomfortable 97, hottest so far this year.

Edit: Yesterday’s (7/21) rainfall was ~0.7”.

[yotaman]

High of 97. Interesting that at 3:50 pm we were at 97 and then an outflow boundary came thru. No rain but the temp dropped 10 degrees in less than 5 minutes. In 20 minutes it has dropped to 81, still no rain. An hour later when the sun came back out, the temp climbed up to 87 before slowly dropping after sunset

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.

 Actually, Graham had heavy rains from not one but two TCs in Sept of 1999:

-6.36” Sept 5-7 from Dennis

-4.30” Sept 15-17 from Floyd

 In addition, they had 5.12” Sept 27-30 from I don’t know what (no named storm then).

[yotaman]

Picked up .56" from an very early morning thunderstorm which puts me at 4.89" for the month.

[NorthHillsWx]

Missed most of the rain yesterday just 0.04”. The front today has been quite pleasant after some early morning showers that didn’t amount to much but our temp has actually stayed steady near 79 degrees and dew point has finally dipped below 70 with a steady NE breeze

[marsman]

1.23" yesterday in at total of about 40 minutes. 

[GaWx]

 I had no rain during the daytime, but I’ve had light rain falling the last couple of hours along with some mainly CTC lightning/rumbling thunder. Total rainfall for today has been only ~0.05”.

I lived in New Bern then. We got hit by Hurricane Dennis twice. It first rode up the coast, then stalled and started moving back west for a landfall. I feel like there was another storm. I think it was called Irene...pretty sure. That might be where Graham got the additional rain?

 It wasn’t Irene because that one didn’t occur til mid Oct. Sept. 27-30 definitely wasn’t from a TC per the NHC archives for 1999. There also was no TD then. However, with heavy rainfall like that, there likely was ample tropical moisture in the mix.

Denise, and Floyd rainfall totals it does look like more than half came from non tropical systems :

[GaWx]

Just some light rain, mainly this morning, so far today. Only about 1/10” today so far. Showers were moving in a somewhat unusual WSW direction from offshore.

[marsman]

Low of 66.6 at 6:30am, went into work with the windows down in the car. Gonna need to be in the "airlock" mode for the next week though. 

Edit: first 60's since 7/5 when it was 67.
