eyewall Posted yesterday at 03:14 AM Share Posted yesterday at 03:14 AM Well I definitely blew that one but in a good way. I ended up chasing that first supercell from the VA line to Carrboro. It has some pretty awesome structure at times and definitely incredible rising motion with the updraft, intense lightning, and visible circulation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year we never hit 90 in August, would love a repeat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That area in SW NC might be in the game though I’ll take this back, I was wrong. That supercell that pushed from VA through here to the coast was legit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see that too often around here, much more common in the plains 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyewall Posted yesterday at 02:14 PM Share Posted yesterday at 02:14 PM Just a few from what was an insane chase. This was from Graham, NC on a tornado warned supercell. I chased this from the VA line to Carrboro so more pics to come. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted yesterday at 02:45 PM Share Posted yesterday at 02:45 PM I knew if we could get some sun we'd be cooked. From west to east. Some crazy cells popped up and extremely heavy rainfall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol...not a drop of rain. Not really complaining though. We have had a ton of rain the last two weeks. Just up set because I missed out on lastnights fun!

NorthHillsWx Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago 1 minute ago, Met1985 said: Huge improvements on the current drought monitor for several of yall down east. 13 NC counties now have at least part of the county excluded from any drought. Also in Raleigh, watering restrictions end on Monday. While still in a long-term moderate drought, all short term impacts have been erased. Lake levels continue to improve and hopefully given current trends and outlooks will be almost fully recovered by the fall. What an impressive month for the state. Raleigh is .20” from its all-time wettest July and, according to WRAL, is enjoying its wettest meteorological summer-to-date ever. 14.49” make this the wettest month ever at my location in 8 years of recording and more than 3” more than nearest other month. Some areas in the county just north of my location likely have seen 16-18” of rainfall based on monthly radar estimates, making this easily one of the wettest months ever for some areas of the county especially considering none of this rain was from a tropical event, or all at once 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just for yall but for a good portion of the state from the mountains East have made a remarkable recovery just the past 30 days and like you said it looks like the faucet is set on for a good portion of August hopefully.
