July ‘26 obs

We're in the Falls watershed near Laurel Creek (a couple of miles SW of the NC50/NC98 intersection) so we drain into Falls Lake.

July to date:

 9.1" +4.1" over the last few days = 13.2"

We had 4.6" in June, so almost a foot and a half of rain for June/July.

We're on a a community well, so our water restrictions are based on the drought  intensity ratings.  We've now dropped from D4 to D3 to D2 on successive weeks. The trend is your friend :-)

At some point overnight we picked up 0.48” which brings my MTD to 13.47”. RDU picked up over 1” 

That storm had some intense ground strikes. It woke me up for sure. I did not pop up the drone as it was already pouring too much.

What makes this month’s rain even more impressive in the triangle is we achieved these totals without a tropical system involved. And it hasn’t been just a couple rogue storms, it has been consistent heavy events from the start to the end of the month. With many areas now over a foot of rain with more possible tomorrow, this month is working towards the top 5 wettest months all time for the area and probably the wettest ever without a significant tropical system to influence the totals. The drought isn’t over but per WRAL we needed 18” in July to end it and I’m sitting over 13” and RDU has nearly 12. That is damn impressive and lakes and rivers have responded as well
