98.4, HI 105. Considerably hotter than yesterday here
-
Topped out at 95 but good news was HI was mostly 100 or less as humidity was way down from last few days
-
It’s really not that bad out here today. Currently 91 with a HI of 99. Sadly, that feels fine after the last few days
-
Sometimes storms pick a spot and it just wants to rain there. You’re more than 8” ahead of our monthly total. Storms went all around my yard yesterday afternoon and last night. Rained for probably 3 hours total we picked up 0.02”
-
Picked up a grand total of 0.02” even though it thundered for at least 4 hours straight. Temps did drop below our morning low, all the way to 78.7
-
Outflow-cooled 89 now feels like fall lol. Storm east of here has an incredible amount of thunder coming from it
-
We hit 100.8 but mercifully an outflow from those storms hit and we’ve fallen to 95.1
-
Explosive atmosphere for anything that developes
-
Thanks. Glad I’m not a crazy outlier. That 97 in my neighborhood is my house
-
I must be in my own private heat island because we’re pushing 97 and RDU is only 92. I swear my station hasn’t been tampered with! We’ll see if this levels off. Oh, my heat index is now 111
-
We’re running about 4 degrees above yesterday’s readings at my house. Already up to 93. Think we crush 100 if we avoid storms and clouds
-
RDU “low” of 80.1 last night was almost identical to my “low” of 80.2 this is absolute absurd heat we’re dealing with. Today likely to be hotter than yesterday given trends this morning
-
90.4 at 8:20
-
Topped out at 98.6 which was probably only limited by cloud cover. Still managed a heat index of 114 which was the second highest I’ve ever recorded here, slightly behind last year
-
Currently 94 with a dp of 79.5 and a heat index of 112… Only good news is it’s become mostly cloudy so maybe maybe we keep temps down a few degrees
-
I do think the flash drought last year affected RDUs readings significantly. This summer my station has been in almost lockstep with RDU and it hasn’t been an outlier in central NC like last year. We hit 100.8 which actually was slightly above RDU’s 100 yesterday
-
Topped out at 100.8 and my gosh it was hot. Our heat index cracked 110 as well which was higher than forecast. I know this doesn’t count but 15 min into my drive (not from being parked) from work back home the car thermometer hit 104 several times on 440 near the 64 exit before dropping to 100 in my neighborhood which aligned with my station at the time. Tomorrow looks worse, UNCLE
-
As of 2:20 pm we have cracked 100 at my house. Currently 99.9 but we hit 100.1 a short time ago. Likely to max out a bit higher given it’s only 2:30. RDU record today was 99 I’m sure that gets erased
-
I am actually tracking right around RDU today. Airports last reading was 96 currently 96.8 here and going up. Last year RDU was usually at least 2 degrees above my reading
-
Hottest day of the year so far here. 95.1
-
Next recon is en route and I fully expect at least a mid grade 3 by the time it arrives. I don’t think cat 4 before landfall is off the table. This is incredible for June
-
Erick appears to be going through nuclear intensification, not just rapid lol. That’s the sat presentation of at least a 3
-
I’m going with 90 kts at the interim advisory
-
This next pass should be very interesting. Erick’s presentation is looking better by the minute. Those winds will respond to the rapid pressure falls since this morning and I’m sure we’ll see more falls on this pass from the first. Very impress looking cat 1
-
NHC explicitly states major hurricane at landfall and that it is undergoing RI in the latest advisory. A small eye is peeking out now and all systems look “go” for this rate of intensification into the coast. The impact area isn’t exactly unpopulated either with a lot of towns along the coast regardless where the eye crosses. Really think this becomes a significant hit for Mexico
