July ‘26 obs

[Avdave]

Back from Seattle, though mother nature made us late getting back to RDU due to the weather. IT was gorgeous there with bright sunshine and high temps in the mid 70s during the day and mid 50s at night. Every morning i wanted to get up and enjoy the refreshing air. 

 

Had some rain while I was gone and as soon as I got into the shuttle bus this evening the skies opened up at RDU. Dumping rain.  What a gift to come home too. The lawn looks a nice color of green now. 

 

I truly despise summers here though

That’s awesome y’all needed it bad! Not near as much up here but still a very respectable 0.88” which brings the MTD to 5.60”

Do you see what's happening over Northern Harnette co? That's insane!

BTW...still raining here lightly to moderate at times

I just meant training rain..for hours!

Just getting crumbs compared to Wake and Harnett, but back building of moderate rain has yielded 0.40".  1.93" for the month.

0.5”  Friday night. 
1.6” last night. 
Total for July so far:

7.3 “

The Falls Lake watershed has been the place to be the last two months.

Over 4” at the farm in Louisburg since yesterday and still pouring

I’d say most of central NC likely is above July normal amounts for the entire month and it’s still the first half of July. Yesterday’s rainfall was widespread and affected many areas that had missed out somewhat earlier in month. It seems the tide has turned on the drought looking forward with no signs of extended dry weather at all 

[NorthHillsWx]

We picked up 0.09” additional which brings event total here to 0.97” and MTD 5.69”

I think the El Nino pattern is finally starting to take shape.
