If you are feeling you have gotten unlucky in over the last few weeks with daily storms missing your location, just know that the footprint of these storms has been relatively small and most areas have been drier than normal across the area with a few lucky winners

No precipitation  that was measurable this week. Still at 1" MTD for August.

Drought remains at D1

I've had lots of rain in Currituck NC the past few weeks. Mowed yesterday afternoon but ground still saturated. However,  it doesn't take much for my particular location to stay wet for a long time since I'm only about 4 ft above sea level. Looking at another soaking the next 3 days.

This definitely tracks with OTG truth here.  I am at 0.28" for the month.  According to the RAH AFD, Raleigh east is in the crosshairs for tomorrow, we shall see.  Just warning you guys ahead of time if it's a dud for me, I will whine a bit.
