Avdave Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 Feels good to be back home again. I was tiring of the 95* and 25* dewpoint out in the desert SW. I still sweat out there as well. I probably didnt drink enough water either. But Im glad to be home and see green and color again and not red dirt.

NC_hailstorm Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 .16 for the month,grass is toast. Get dry spells now and then but isn't near as bad as 1986,1993,2002,2007,and 2012 yet. In 86 they were hauling in truckloads of hay from up north to feed the livestock all summer.93 had a massive blocking high over the SE that flooded the midwest and Mississippi River.02 was about 12-15 inches down in rainfall and brutally hot.07 recorded the highest temp here of 104.7.12 was about 10 inches down and the heat just wouldn't break. No 100 degree heat here yet but a lot of 90's which makes up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Picked up a surprising .31" yesterday. Currently 79/74 and breezy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael__Ginger Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Raleigh received hurricane downpour in the beginning of September, but it has been sunny with little rain for over three weeks before that, and for over two weeks after that. This pattern seems like climate in Oman to some extent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael__Ginger Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I have seen many Phoenix trees in Wilmington coastal area, but there seems a lot fewer in Raleigh. Two cities are only about 110 miles away. Do you know why? Is Raleigh much colder than Wilmington in winter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMA1973 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Ive lived in Wilmington for 10 years and Raleigh for the last 10 and i keep a boat in Wrightsville. IMO yes Wilmington is much warmer than Raleigh in the winter. Many times in Raleigh it may be 45 but in Wilmington 56-57. To me, that is "much"...but then again i hate the cold so every 5-10 degrees makes a huge diff. Wilmington also during the peak winter months still posts (on avg) a 60 degree day every 10 days. Vegetation is much diff down there. Live oaks, spanish moss, saw palmettos growing beside I-40 (mile marker 409 to around 412 both sides) tons of them. 110 miles makes a big diff when its almost due south and said are is affected by the gulf stream not far off shore.

cbmclean Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 A nice little line of storms moving Northeast through the Piedmont now.

cbmclean Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Does anyone in East Central NC remember September 2009 I believe it was? The entire month was bone dry until the very end, when a major rain event dumped like 9 inches on some areas IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowless in Carrollton Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Was all of this rain forecast ? I see radar estimates in GA in some areas 3-4" or more. From what I recall, they were calling for 1/2" at most in most in those same areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
