Would think so. Aligns with what I saw and that is a serious swath of two day non-tropical rainfall for July! You cannot ask for more in the areas that got it but man SE Wake just cannot get lucky that's some forcefield type stuff going on down there
-
I was joking but yea your half of the county cannot catch a break. I was right there with you until the last two days though. The best news though is the heaviest rain just keeps targeting the falls lake watershed over and over again. It has come up over 6 inches over last two days which is a ton of water added to the reservoir and completely offset all losses from the heatwave and most of the last month
-
1.01” brings the 3-day and MTD total to 4.04” here
-
It is now at its highest level since June 22 and rapidly climbing
-
So much for the drought
-
FalIs watershed getting pummeled again. 3rd straight day with at least an inch in the majority of the watershed. Lake has risen all day and will continue to do so after this. Excellent news for Raleigh
-
Just did mine and it’s thundering again now
-
Watered the front yard where it has most slope but it is very squishy in the lower flat spots from yesterdays event so skipped watering most of the yard. Looking at the rainfall map combined with the rain the day before it looks like part of the falls lake watershed has seen 4”+ over last two days. The lake has remained mostly steady longer term with minimal drops over the past 2 weeks after being in a free fall
-
Radar Scope, it’s an app. If you don’t have it, get it, it’s the best radar app out there.
-
Also maxed out at 99.0 before the clouds arrived and heat index was 112 which I believe was highest of the entire heat wave here
-
Don’t think I need to water in morning. 2.89” here. Radar estimates show over 6” just east of my location. Maybe more to come overnight? 3.03” MTD
-
Flash flood warning for wake. Never thought I’d see that again
-
Finally a proper thunderstorm
-
Yall have had the most rain in the central part of NC and even though it’s been somewhat isolated it’s thankfully falling into the watershed. The lake would be probably close to a foot lower if not for the lucky bullseyes that have kept it in check overall the last 3 weeks
-
97 degrees with a heat index of 111… Today feels the most miserable of any days during this heatwave
-
In good news the heaviest rain (1.5-2.5”) set up directly over falls lake AGAIN and the lake registered its biggest one day jump since the free fall started
-
Finished with 0.14”
-
Got screwed by outflow. Picked up a whopping 0.08” whereas areas just a few miles NW got 1+”
-
Falls lake has resumed its freefall this past week. Driving over the 85 bridge or beaver dam is breathtaking
-
I remember when hitting 100 used to be rare
-
Same at my house, 102.1 was as high as we got. Thought we were gonna stay under 100 but clouds broke and it baked last 3 hours
-
102.1 current temp and high so far
-
No records today, still sub-100 at 97.3
-
Holy *bleep* just woke up to 80.6 degrees. It never got below 80 last night!
-
Tomorrow many areas have a chance to go for the all time records. Let’s see them fall screw it at least make this pain historic
