New Bern is also 106 but it occurred in 1950's. It has been awhile since we hit 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUNYGRAD Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago It will be interesting to see how high heat indices are too. One thing that could keep temps down a few degrees is any thunderstorms or complexes----but this could increase the heat index some-----even with some daytime mixing. I think the highest I saw several years ago was 122 F down/around Fayetteville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This for the 2nd, not the 3rd or 4th. Hard to pinpoint local or even moving clusters at this point going into the 3rd or 4th, let alone one model output this far out. Day of or overnight should/could have more bearing on indices is what I was thinking earlier. Agree dry some, but my opinion is this is not particular strong CAP given the LI, PW. Temperature slight increase. Some marginal instability around -2 with LI. I believe some of the other modeling that I looked at has some convection for the 3rd and 4th.

UnionCountyNCWX Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago Let it be known that literally no one called for this..... but we will for sure take it. What a beautiful surprise this morning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a beautiful surprise this morning. Glad for you all that are getting the rain! Much needed. We missed it by about 20 miles. Hopefully we get some tomorrow.

GaWx Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago The latest Euro and Icon are suggesting that H5 heights will reach a max of ~598 dm at some point over GSO within the July 1-3 period. They have as much as 597 dm as of 8AM. A 597 would more than likely be approaching the all time record high for there at 12Z, which often runs a couple of dm lower than an afternoon max. For comparison, it reached ~597-598 dm at GSO at 12Z on 7/7/1986 per old maps I saw yesterday. I have no way of knowing if that’s the highest on record at 12Z though without spending at least many hours going through numerous maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There wont be too many storms popping up with that kind of reading or and even through the upcoming furnace blast. Definitely will be some records that will be set though.
