I don't feel any motivation to chase anymore after that. Expand A clean, long track, low precipitation supercell tornado. That happens so rarely here I cannot remember the last one.

NorthHillsWx Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 NWS preliminary rating of a high-end EF2. We’ll see what the damage survey reveals but there’s definitely the chance this was a EF3 tornado based on some of the pictures and video floating around 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wncsnow Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 F3 tornadoes in NC in July have to be really rare right? And probably even more so without a tropical system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthHillsWx Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 With the tornado talk yesterday I failed to mention we picked up 0.22” here. Much more fell to our north. The farm in Louisburg had 1.53” from the same cell that ended up producing the tornado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted July 21, 2023 Author Share Posted July 21, 2023 Another hot and humid day here today. High of 95 with dew points in the upper 70's kept the HI well above 100 most of the afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 The heat and humidity has been awful all week here with mid to upper 90s highs and DPs averaging in the low 70s. All of my walking for the last month+ has been on the treadmill in AC. That's not unusual for most of the summer. I miss my summer trips to the beautiful and so comfortable CO Rockies! Maybe I'll go back there again at some point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted July 22, 2023 Author Share Posted July 22, 2023 Low 70's for dew points would be nice right about now. Try upper 70's to low 80's all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yotaman Posted July 23, 2023 Author Share Posted July 23, 2023 Had a high of only 86 yesterday. Clouds hung on for most of the day which was quite nice. Also picked up .24" from an afternoon rain. Had a low this morning of 70. Currently just after 12 it is 87/74. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaWx Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Miami's high today of 98 was a record high. Since records started there in 1895 only one day has been hotter, 7/21/1942's 100! Edit: Miami's mean so far today is 90. If the AM low of 82 holds up for today's low, the 90 mean would tie with 7/24/1983 for the hottest mean on record! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 0.35” last night. Can’t remember what time exactly but I woke up to some loud thunder very early this morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
