No water restrictions being lifted anytime soon for Catawba Valley residents. The one metric that’s holding us back is the 6 month streamflow average. Seems like a flawed metric imo. The 6 month average is going to be harshly skewed by the streamflow at the height of the drought so it seems like it may be the first of next year before restrictions are lifted despite whatever fall brings.

Excellent shots!

This storm is wicked. It looked like a spaceship arriving and then boom. Dark as night with the street lamps on. Absolutely dumping rn.

Hopefully that inevitable stretch in Sept doesn’t feature the same dewpoints. I think this most recent stretch of mid to upper 90s has felt much worse than our hottest timeframe around the 4th. It was over 100 then, but at least the humidity wasn’t as high.

IMO no. I think we’ve got a long stretch of 90s coming in Sept at some point before we get entrenched in a long, cool & wet pattern.

Worst line of storms I’ve had at this house since I’ve lived here

This cell to my west is putting on one of the most incredible nighttime light displays I’ve ever seen .

I slept through it but woke up to 1.55” for the day.

.29” here. Wouldn’t hate a bit more but every little bit helps you get through a heat wave.

Nasty line coming together now

Easy now lol. I like my rain with the power on preferably.

Extremely nasty cell just passed through Lenoir. Quite a bit of hail and strong winds.

Sneaky derecho threat late this evening. Hope not, but it’ll still likely be in the upper 80s well after dark.

We can stop guessing folks! Snowbird Bob on Facebook says to expect above/much above average snowfall in the South.

These storms chose violence
