Hard to believe it is that far away... I am Kill Devil Hills for the weekend and watching the same storm over the sound. Took a couple videos of it. The lightning show is awesome.

NWNC2015 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Heavy rain. 1-3" already over the Brushy Mountains. Not helping the stress on the Brevard Fault Line that's for sure. Statesville getting soaked too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a great hike though. Today is cooler back here but anything less than what we have been having is cooler. Still hot. More puffy clouds out there as well. Best rain chances ahead are on sunday likely Lol! Your first picture looks way better than my picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWNC2015 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 so what causes the storms to first fire up in TN before NC when the sun and instability rises first in the east? Noticed this a lot this summer in the morning hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 well yesterday was nice, today its back to the grind, 91/79=107 and its not even noon, the upside is the HRRR gives us a good shot at storms especially east of I95 this afternoon....

Solak Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Clouds keeping temps down. 88/77 = 100. Looks like a break in the clouds coming in for a little while. ` Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Decent storms here in Pitt Co hoping it pulses back up, either way I look to get some rain..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yotaman Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 What an incredibly humid morning and early afternoon. Went out this morning at 8 am and the temp was already 85/80. Topped off at 96/85 HI 127. Very, very uncomfortable, then the storms blew in. Lots of close lightning strikes with this one. Picked up .51" which pushed me to 12" even for the month. I wonder how accurate my dew point measurement actually is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isopycnic Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 0.00" supposedly it rained sometime around 1pm... 0.15" Even getting some thunder in the salt lake area. Hasn't really rained here since early May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great hike. so far no rain here today or yesterday. 94 for a high here today, felt hot out there. Looks like the Carthage to Lillington line gets the storms this late afternoon, they always seem to attract the storms. Wonder if it has something to do with being on the line between the sandhills and peidmont. ?????? Who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Anyone got a knife so I can cut this humidity. Currently 81/80. Humidity at 96% and my windows are fogged up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbmclean Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 As advertised, coverage a lot better today, but nothing going to make it to Wilson. bummer. It has been two solid weeks without significant rain IMBY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Closest we got was "Searching For Signal" from a heavy shower that just missed us, that is now a storm now riding up I-95. Does that count as almost close to precipitation? Edit - JoCo airport 2 miles away picked up .23" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceagewhereartthou Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Had lots of clouds early in the day, stayed in the 80s almost all day, and just hit 90 for a few minutes this afternoon. Was outside this evening at a park in Greenville and couldn't believe how nice it was, cooler temps or lower humidities, but it felt almost like an early fall evening. Noticed CAE hit 101, 5th straight day over 100 and 16th of the month. Gonna be close again tomorrow too. This will be their all-time hottest month regardless of tomorrow, and by over a full degree, beating July 93 and August 07. Incredible - My condolences to you midland peeps; sorry buckeye!

yotaman Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Despite a colorful radar, we have only managed to pick up .30" in the last hour. Been hearing almost constant thunder but mostly light to moderate rains. Temp now at 74/73. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Finally got something after 15 days! 0.54" in 20 minutes from the edge of a storm!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Ended up with .43" for the day so far. A storm is dropping in from the west, will see if it holds up. This puts me at 12.43" for the month. I do believe that this is my highest total for a month outside of tropic systems affecting us since I have been monitoring my totals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avdave Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 thats a helluva line exiting durham county and entering chatham and wake county now. Had a little rotation in southern Orange county earlier.
