84/68 HI 87 at 9:45 obs.

81/68 with HI of 84 already at 9am

3k nam drops a line down over the coastal plains tomorrow and even though severe isnt likely anytime we have this type of heat anything can happen.

The upcoming pattern is just horrible. I was enjoying our cooler days.

86 already so you known its gonna be hot.

Would have been fun to be in that kansas storm that had sustained windsof 75mph with a measured gust to 111mph.

Storm fizzed on the way to me

61st annual big rock blue marlin tourny outnof morehead city is coming to staggering finish. Reportedly over 40 marlin were released today and I believe 6 to 7 were brought to the dock for weigh-in. Biggest marlin is worth 1.3 million and a boat smashed the old tourny record today. Day one saw a 588lb marlin caught. That fish led until tonight when a whopping 914lb fish came in. This beats a previous record of 831lb. Even crazier is theres still one boat coming in with a fish they fought for 10 hours. The fish on the left is the 588 previous leader, obviously fish on the right is the 914lber.

Next round about here

I'm in a different boat. Had a heavy downpour just miss me to the west and thought "thank god that one missed". I've had several big total days and I'm ready to share the wealth.

Nothing like the guys out west of here but a slow moving storm dumped an inch or so in short time frame and flooded uptown greenville last evening.

Numerous streets flooded I could smell broken pines and no stw or flash flood warning. This is why people should call in more reports. Water was across several roads and nobody had been warned about the area and could have driven into dangerous conditions.

And 2 stills to show how bad visibility was affected

Had an unwarned severe storm in western pitt county yesterday. The rainfall was incredible.

Nice gustfront was forming as it passed

Incoming storm with nonstop thunder. Not severe or anything.

Yeah been very pleasant the last 3 days.

Nope grunts, ringtails, a triggerfish and a bunch of throwback black sea bass. Some guys caught some nice amberjacks and a decent cobia. There were a good number of cobia circling the boat.

Does anyone know an official number of tornados for NC this year? I know of the 13 in the Raleigh zone one in Tyrell county for MHX and then Stanley county so that's only 15 that I can verify. I know of a couple of other tornado warned storms in our area and a few more up around mt airy but cant find anything on confimations.

Dude some of these are frame worthy shots. I'd hang those on my wall!

So many of the storms had great structure on them. Right before my hailstorm I took a shot of a nice lowering and classic supercell look. You can see the rain and hail core just to the right of the lowering. Nowhere near as awesome as your pics but another example of the structures that day.

Brought home 25 fish so not too bad. No big fish but we had the boat pretty much to ourselves. Only had 22 people on the boat. Water was as calm as it could possibly have been.

I went through 4 big storms today. One in Raleigh at chuy's in north hills was decent other 2 had fantastic structure and the big hailer at my house.

Meso discussion doesnt give me much hope for the concert tonight.

I'm so pissed today. Typically I'd love a severe threat. Today's doesnt jive with my concert going plans for tonight in Raleigh. It's not like this is a quick drive for me so do I drive the 1.5 hours and hope for the best or drive there and sit in my car because of lightning? I could see them possibly bumping this up to enhanced on the next advisory as well.
