0.05" yesterday. Love watching the point forecast changes today. After 8AM, After 2PM, after 11AM 3/4" - 1", 1" - 2", 3/4" - 1" .... all in the last 3 hours. Meanwhile, parts of central NC are under a Flash Flood Watch. No amounts given... Showers and thunderstorms with very heavy rain will develop and spread into the northern Coastal Plain, the northeast Piedmont, and the Triangle area this afternoon. The showers and storms will become more widespread during the late afternoon and evening hours. The combination of high rainfall rates and the potential for multiple rounds of storms will result in the potential for flash flooding.

Recon is checking it out this morning.

Was thinking the same thing. At least they're predicting a 'decent' amount of rain. From this morning's AFD Rainfall amounts in the 1 to 1.5 inch range will be possible during this 12 to 18 hour period, with higher amounts possible in areas that see training or slow moving thunderstorms

HI of 100 a little earlier today than the last couple. Currently 88/77. At least there is a light breeze moving the oven air around.

5 day outlook - 20% chance 1. A tropical wave located a couple of hundred miles east of the Central Bahamas is producing disorganized showers and a few thunderstorms. Some slight development is possible over the next few days while the disturbance moves westward to west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent.

Thunderstorm in Vicinity says KJNX... I guess it's true if NE of Wake Forest, 35 miles away, or Pittsboro, 46 miles away are considered "in vicinity". Currently 93/77 = 107

Only made it to 91 yesterday, but stilll pulled off a HI of 107

0.49" last night. Lost power again for a few hours overnight.

RAH Due to the strong height falls and a slow moving front, expect the potential for several waves of low pressure to track over the region Tue-Wed. Several large convective clusters can be expected to affect the region from time to time. QPF of 1 to locally 3 inches continues to be forecast. Temperatures will not be an issue by Tuesday and Wednesday as some areas of the Piedmont may stay in the 70s during the day! The main hazard after the heat will probably turn to flash flood potential late Monday through mid-week.

Picked up 1.23" from the 2 storms.

The midight storm just added insult to injury, and had some hail with it as well. 3 SSW Clayton [Johnston Co, NC] UTILITY COMPANY reports TSTM WND DMG at 17 Jul, 11:55 PM EDT -- TREES WERE REPORTED DOWN ON POWER LINES NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF TWIN ACRES ROAD AND KNIGHTS BRIDGE DR.

Power was out for a little more than 9 hours. Here's the reason for the initial outage. 6 WNW Smithfield [Johnston Co, NC] EMERGENCY MNGR reports DOWNBURST at 17 Jul, 5:31 PM EDT -- SUSPECTED DOWNBURST WINDS DOWNED NUMEROUS TREES ALONG CLEVELAND ROAD, WITH AT LEAST SIX IMPACTING STRUCTURES ALONG HAZELNUT LANE...BRAZIL NUT LANE...AND LEE TRACE DRIVE.

Had a storm come through strong enough to knock out power in the area- 3000 or so.
