Frankpc Posted yesterday at 04:24 PM Share Posted yesterday at 04:24 PM 20 hours ago, Frankpc said: Not quite the bullseye this storm, we received an additional 1.5" mostly overnight last night. Total July to date : 3.6" Not too shabby but Falls River (err, Falls Lake) has a long way to go. Another 1.6" last night. 5 hour power outage thrown in for fun. 5.2" month to date after an above average June. The darn trees will start falling out of the ground due to saturated soils. The ephemeral streams in our neighborhood have returned. They're running for a few hours after the precipitation stops. The watershed is back doing its thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yotaman Posted yesterday at 09:07 PM Share Posted yesterday at 09:07 PM Saw the temp rise to 95, down to 86 thanks to the anvil of a storm north of us. Back to 92 in the sun, then the storms finally moved in. Thankfully got the front yard mowed before it hit. Heavy rain and at .65" so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted yesterday at 09:32 PM Author Share Posted yesterday at 09:32 PM It’s still an oppressive 97.3 at my place with mostly sunny skies. I don’t know what the high was but my guess would be ~99 (about the hottest of the year so far) and HI’s way up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsman Posted yesterday at 10:00 PM Share Posted yesterday at 10:00 PM 92/109 at 5:55pm. Dew at 79. Storm approaching is following the "stay south of US1/64" law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsman Posted yesterday at 11:02 PM Share Posted yesterday at 11:02 PM Wound up with .19". Some possible rotation around Cary Crossroads. Wind was decent too. mPING reported hail reported in the area. Down to 77/81. edit: this time of day should produce some nice rainbows. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got fringed by storm just a few hundredths of an inch but it’s been an excellent one to watch go by. Power outages showing up around Cary. Probably a microburst in that area based on mPING reports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
