Silver Meteor

Indeed it is ... After many weeks of bone dry conditions NOAA has Pitt county in "severe drought" which can easily be seen simply by looking at our vegetation but that ended abruptly today. That eastbound frontal boundary dropped a deluge here in Greenville this morning (1"+)and then after clearing the area returned this afternoon as a westbound front and slammed us even harder (2"+). Police department is telling people to stay off the roads due to widespread flash flooding. Feast or famine eh? Thoughts to the farmers.

July 1st was indeed delightful in Eastern North Carolina. And then came the real July.

Friday's 106F at RDU does seem a bit much. From what's been posted here sensor location would be a plausible explanation. Here in Greenville (population ~100K) off to your east we too have been in a prolonged dry spell (grass is brown) so we have similar antecedent conditions yet we barely made it to 100F. On Saturday we topped at 99F. Don't know about RDU but Greenville's average July high is 91.4F.

Thank you, a pleasure to finally see a short - to the point, intelligent post without teeny bopper grammar or global warming hysteria.

Strongest blast here in Greenville, N.C. (at the airport) was winds S 35 G 54 at both 5:45 and 6:05 pm. Our NWS Office did a great job in forecasting a peak gust of 51 mph. Missed by only 3 mph!

Your mom lied to you, lol. I was actually IN school during the 1960s (junior & senior high, Montgomery County, Maryland) and if we had a foot of snow I guarantee you the schools would be closed (until the roads were cleared.) Even the Washington, D.C. schools would have a rare closure. Traffic, even light traffic, doesn't move well in snow that heavy. That said, it is true schools close "more easily" now than back then. Consider the difference in population, traffic, and litigiousness.

The climate change narrative is more than just a political game, much more. At the core is carbon credits, already a multi-billion dollar racket on Wall Street, it will grow into the trillions. You'll pay, you always do. The wealthy elites, politically-connected, and media moguls run this game, and you can take it to the bank they are not stupid. (Or perhaps you believe these people can't sleep at night because they're worried about YOU. LOL.) I see it everywhere, people barking at trees oblivious to the forest that will consume them.

Thank you Floyd for the NHC track plots on Charley. The earlier forecast was remarkably accurate not only for the Florida Coast but also for the second landfall (I watched the eye pass directly overhead on Cape Fear, N.C.) The more updated forecast not only missed the Florida landfall but also had no second landfall at all! Charley is a good reminder that depending on trajectory a small error can rapidly magnify. While here let me thank you for the good work you do on your videos.

Seems most everything you espouse comes straight from the World Economic Forum. I hope you're not so naive as to believe any of those globalists give a rat's ass about you or the billions of other "peasants" across this planet (or even the planet itself.) They want money and power, everything else is a side show. Putting the planet under the control of a bunch of central planners "who know what's best for us" is not the solution unless your target is a dystopian future where humans become effectively slaves or robots. ("You will own nothing and you will be happy.") Free market capitalism is the best mechanism for advancement humanity has ever devised. Unfortunately it's been under attack since the 1960s with misguided policies and ever increasing government control over every aspect of life (regulations reaching the point of fascism - crushing the individual and small business.) Note too, the "thought police" are already here. Been here for a long time actually (it started carefully with the invention of the "hate crime.")

No confirmation bias in this group, no sir. LOL

"...restoring faith in government." LOL Did someone just fall off the turnip truck? When money was real (gold and silver) perhaps, but those days are long gone. The government and its propaganda arm, the media, are enemies of the people. With a "Fourth Turning" now well underway, climate concerns will fade away as the pendulum swings from globalization to decentralization. Food and energy concerns will be tantamount, and this across all continents. The storm clouds have arrived, delivered by our government and those who pull its strings. The rest of us are mere peons.

Same here as a teen in Washington D.C. back in the 1960s. The number was WE-6-1212. (Called it so many times I can never forget it, lol.)

Did I say anything about guidance? No. I said I've seen many Lows pass by this coastline and this one is much farther out than normal. Much farther out. A simple, basic fact. (And your response is an example of why I almost never post on this website.) If the 850 pulls it back in, great, I'm all for it ... but again I was only pointing out a peculiarity with the track at this latitude.

HRRR sure looks good. I hope the whole peninsula gets a window rattler and nice snow drifts. Was there for a blizzard once (early '90s?) and know how wild it can get on that coast.

Hello from eastern N.C. I've seen a lot of Lows pass by down here but this one is waaaaaay offshore. Heck, it's running off the screen. I've a feeling this storm isn't going to pound the Mid-Atlantic coast with as much snow as people are thinking ... unless a team of wild horses pulls it back in.

Hello, I've a question for you. If Kuchera snow totals are misleading, why are they so often posted? I notice the "regular" snow totals are always noticeably less.

Where's the precipitation? Such a dinky little storm.

What a frick'n mess. Let's face it, that is butt ugly.

Same here in Greenville, NC. Rates have been and remain pathetic ... after 10pm now and can't imagine how we're going to reach our forecast of 3-5". Nope, ain't gonna happen.

Psychology: Many people think by demeaning others it raises themselves. It doesn't.

Ah, good old Fenwick. Many family vacations there in the 1950s and '60s. The 2-lane coastal highway was the only paved road (other than the Rt. 54 access of course.) The beach towns were fantastic before the population explosion.

This place isn't for scientific debate, it's a cult. Talk about feedback loops, good grief, look at yourselves. No wonder so many have left. Enjoy yourselves.

As an avid reader with decades of experience in the stock and commodities markets I can comfortably say the typical citizen who touts wind and solar is economically illiterate. As I said here some time ago, nuclear is the future. This is obvious. So obvious I even recommended buying stock in uranium miners (advice that already would have earned you a hefty return with much more to come in the years ahead.)
