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

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.

Radar blossoming in NC sandhills and southern coastal plain.  Heavy returns moving through Scotland and Hoke counties right now.  Hopefully a sign of things to come further north.  I was well on my way to climbing out of the short-term drought altogether but then stumbled into a sneaky dry three week period.  It has been extra frustrating as the atmosphere has been loaded with moisture, and not just at the low levels, but outside of the piedmont trough and the Seabreeze, most of the state seems to have been completely devoid of dynamics or lift.

First measurable rain since start of the month but just 0.02” lol

Just judging by upstream radar, things look good, but we know how upstream cells can vanish mysteriously once hitting the Raleigh shield.

That stuff out west is wild. However...this cloud covered showered cool air will do to it what it always does!

It's all about the dynamics.  Get the right dynamics and you can pop whoppers in a wedge.  Not sure if this system is going to have the umph we need, but it is certainly more dynamic than anything we have seen this month.
