Like clockwork, the short-med range is drying out fast.

Drought forever

This is exactly what we need. Ample supply of gulf moisture.

Ensembles haven’t changed much. Still looks wet. Only concerning thing I have is boundary setting up north and west of triangle area. Seems to have trended stronger with SER recently meaning boundary is pushed back somewhat

That's my concern. Some models are pushing those heavier totals west with this strong Bermuda High. TN Valley looks inundated for sure but how much makes it east of the Apps?

Would be par for the course if we watch most of this go west of apps and around us but at a minimum it looks like a return to at least scattered afternoon storms across NC most days

I’ll settle for below average rain at this point by our normal standards. I’d be over the moon if we could just average a .25” per week at this juncture.

So precip being pushed more west....uhm, this has happened since last year. I sure hope we can all cash in.

As of now, precip being focused to our west means flooding/flash flooding W of the Apps and just run of the mill above average rainfall with daily storm chances here.

Yea ensembles haven’t really budged. I’m confident we see daily storm chances starting Wednesday/Thursday depending where you are and continuing for the next week. If we can get near normal rainfall it will be a huge win considering where we stand currently. Drove over falls lake here earlier and it is shocking how much it has fallen in last 2 weeks

[suzook]

Just as I expected. All those storms that were supposed to start around Wednesday, are now pushed out until MAYBE Sunday in my area. Drought continues to get worse.
