Getting dry around here.  No rain since April 25, and that was only 0.22 inch.  It was another seven days of dry before that rain event too.  So, we're going on three weeks with less than a quarter inch of rainfall IMBY.

 

So crazy how different that is from here..........NAM still has me around 2-3" total from Ana, I got .50" already since midnight,  if we got the high end of that it would put MBY close to 5" for May ( with 20 days to go in the month)  after almost 8" in April. All this rain is getting a bit silly here and you guys cant buy a drop.

 

Hopefully you guys cash in tonight into tomorrow all it takes is one good storm this time of year to get a quick inch of rain....

We finally got a band to rotate thru us. Dropped .32". The most we have seen in 3 weeks. Hopefully more to come.

 

Kinda stuck in between bands here light rain from time to time but nothing to ad so far, the next band is working its way this way and looks kinda nasty, and I fear eventually we will be on the N and E side of the COC as it moves just west of us according to NHC so that's gonna be wet unless it loses some steam by then.

 

New Bern looks to get nailed here in a bit as well.

Thanks for the well wishes.  It does feel awesome outside today under the tropically cloudy skies with the light breeze.

 

I'm trying hard not to go full Shetley with my complaining, but it's hard to resist...  :D

Light to moderate rain falling now. Have picked up .17" since it started up again. That makes .49" for the day. They are saying 1 to 2" for us tonight. I think we will be lucky to get 1". Temp currently at 70, dew point 69. Winds probably in the 15 to 25 range.

.46" yesterday. 2.07" from Ana so far.

 

Had 1.35" in the gauge just now when I checked that is from noon yesterday to now.....still a little light rain but it should end soon as Ana leaves us. Tomorrow they are calling for 89 if we can hit 90 it will be the first 90 of the year. If we don't then it might be another week or so till we do. Our mean date for hitting 90 in May 5th so we are already 6 days past the average first date....

It's fairly miserable out right now (for mid-May) as I take a break from mowing the overgrown weeds/grass. Amazing what 2"+ in 2 days will do to a yard. Currently 86/68.

 

Yeah it sucks outside right now a lot of sun on the wet ground equals ugh.....82 with a 72 DP....I cant wait for October.

Had some pretty good winds as the gust front from those Southern NC storms pushed through. I'm guessing 30-35mph, the way the pines were whipping.

Maybe one last chance tonight to get some storms here.  Still dry to this point.

MTN RIDGES IN SW FLOW. ALTHOUGH THERE SHOULD BE A WEAKENING TREND
WITH THE BOUNDARY LAYER SLOWLY STABILIZING...ISOLD WEAK CONVECTION
MAY CONTINUE THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...AND POSSIBLY INCREASE A

Yeah, gusts were solid earlier from that sea breeze boundary that passed through. I would say they were 20-25 mph at the strongest.
