I’ve been under this ever-growing cell in northern Guilford for the past hour or so. Continuous rumbles of thunder and hard rain. I want to go to bed, but my German Shepherd is an outdoor dog and he sleeps on the screened-in back porch at night and he’s not really a fan of loud thunder. He’s not terribly scared of it. He just likes company during thunderstorms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthHillsWx Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Worked from home today and was treated to good mid-afternoon storm. Not much wind but pretty good structure, some heavy rain, and close lightning. 0.61" most of which fell rather abrubtly. Humid out this evening for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temp quickly fell from the mid 80's to the mid 70's once the rain started a bit after 12 and stayed there the rest of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinstonSalemArlington Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Today was the second hottest day of the year In the Triad, with a sultry High of 95. Take heart, 70s coming up this weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbmclean Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Very frustrating day for me rain wise. A very nice cell blew up in Wilson. Poured at work for a while. Looking on the radar you could see a little refuge of light rain/drizzle amongst all that red and it was right over my house!!. Only picked picked up 0.06". Grumble grumble.

Not too bad actually, I think they had like 120 days one year recently. 30 days of 95+ (but 13 more at 94), and just 7 of 100+. All in all not too bad for them, but still a ways to go. Edit: Quick check, looks like 2016 they had 109 days of 90+, with 21 days of 100+. 111 days of 90+ in 2018. GSP at 51 of 90+, with 8 at 95+, an overall high of 97.

Iceagewhereartthou Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Only 75 here right now, but so muggy out there you need a scuba suit to walk around. I'm starting to really hate rain; or at least the mugginess it leaves behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are running a bit behind. Of course, they can hit 90 into October. Yea, 2016 was a miserable hot summer and 2018 seemed like it would never end. Hurricane Michael finally ended that summer. Do you happen to have this years stats for Augusta Bush Field (KAGS)? Here in the NRV, today may be the last time this year we get close to 90. Highs will be in the 70s by week's end.
