Storms have missed my house by a matter of 1-2 miles in all directions over the last 4-6 weeks. Ouch. That corridor along 95 has been exceptionally dry. We’ve caught the edge of a few decaying mcs systems but they did not make it much further east of here. I’m surprised the storms yesterday totally collapsed east of US 1. Models definitely were more bullish for the area than reality. I do wonder if the extremely dry ground and surface condo may actually work to thwart some rain opportunities and storm development Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely had my hopes up since it was during the peak heat of the day. I think it's to the point now of needing a tropical system or a deep tropical fetch for few days to get things back to normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakeNormanStormin Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 This will be a Top 10 Driest June's on record here in north Mecklenburg (Lake Norman) area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Much better rain coverage in the triangle this morning with a 20% chance of rain than a lot of days this month with 50-70% chances. 0.26” for the day, may get another shower or two. 1.96” for the month now EDIT: picked up and additional 0.04” for a total of 0.30” for the day and an even 2.00” for the month! Did not think we’d hit 2” this month, but we clawed our way there somehow. Makes a very dry month slightly better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 For the first time in 2 weeks (6/14), I'm getting a big dousing from thunderstorms. Been getting them for the last 1.5 hours (since 1:20 PM) and will thus add up nicely. There is some street flooding. I'll provide the total later. Until today, most of my rain this month fell 6/8-14. I got a modest amount yesterday (0.25") bringing me to 4.35" MTD before today's dousing. Recent radar: Edit for Flood advisory issued 1/2 hour ago and also this report in the area of 2.48" in only one hour: 0312 PM HEAVY RAIN 1 NNE VERNONBURG 31.98N 81.11W 06/29/2022 M2.48 INCH CHATHAM GA It looks like 2.5" has fallen IMBY, which brings me to 6.85" MTD (slightly above the longterm mean for all of June). This makes it the heaviest for any one day since way back on 11/6/21, when a similar amount fell. That amount is as much as I got in all of May. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldsborosnow Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Another .01" today. Two days of measurable rain in a row for a grand total of .03" in Pikeville NC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted July 1, 2022 Author Share Posted July 1, 2022 Had a high of 92 today and with dew points in the mid 70's most of the day, it was pretty miserable outside. Monthly stats: Highest temp - 97 Lowest temp - 54 Highest dew point - 80 Lowest dew point - 44 Rainfall - 2.44" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Highest temp: 99.7 Lowest temp: 54.2 Monthly Precip: 2.00” The one positive I will say about a very hot and dry month overall is models and forecasts definitely overdid extended periods of heat for both of our heatwaves. 2 weeks ago we did near 100 but we got clouds and some storm complexes that offered much more relief than expected. We had an excessive heat warning issued and didn’t even verify heat advisory conditions. Last weeks heatwave was WAY overdone on models. We had two warm days then a pleasant week with several rain events. Otherwise, just hot and dry summer weather ruled the month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I got 0.15" yesterday to finish June at 7.0". After being in drought conditions for quite a long time and being about the driest of anywhere in the SE from mid November through May 20th, things have suddenly turned around here since then. Hoping many of the still dry areas in the SE have better luck in July. My June hottest was 102.7 early afternoon on June 23rd, the hottest for any day in at least several years! After midnight tonight, my area unexpectedly got slammed. But the details of that will have to wait for the July thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
