yotaman Posted August 1, 2023 Author Share Posted August 1, 2023 High of 90. We just missed a big thunderstorm by less than a mile. Caught the outer edge of it with only .15". The outflow did cool us down to 73 at 4 pm. Temp has been slow to rebound and is only up to 78 at 5:45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted August 2, 2023 Author Share Posted August 2, 2023 Low of 66, high of 84. Dew points in the low to mid 60's all day made it feel very comfortable out there. The smoky haze even limited the hot sun from roasting us like normal this time of the year. Haven't had a day like this since mid June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olafminesaw Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Although it's disappointing that the mountains will prevent more significant rainfall today, it's nice to see a forecast high in the 70s. This brings to an end a 42 day streak of highs at 80 or higher, which is fairly close to the average for the longest stretch of the year 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyefan1 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 3.33 in the bucket since about 2am this morning with more incoming. Currently it’s a glorious 72 degrees with some fog. In August 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yotaman Posted August 5, 2023 Author Share Posted August 5, 2023 Clouds and rain kept our temps down yesterday but not the humidity. High yesterday was 82 and the rain bucket picked up .94" for the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Only picked up 0.02” last couple days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsman Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Yesterday's high was 79.3F, only saw 0.06" of rain. Not enough for the garden, especially with the temps in the coming days. 8/3 was even cooler, 77.8F for a high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbmclean Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 A disappointing 0.26" in the bucket from the squall line. The line was too thin and moving too fast. Hopefully we can get some more later this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted August 8, 2023 Author Share Posted August 8, 2023 Line pretty much fell apart before hitting us but still managed .21". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 0.73” from the severe line as it ripped through. One of the few warnings that lived up to the hype imby. Lucky none of our trees came down, plenty down around the neighborhood. Tree in yard behind mine got struck by lightning 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wncsnow Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 I got over an inch yesterday to put my monthly total close to 4 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 We just got slammed from 7:50PM til 8:20PM with the most severe thunderstorm I've seen this summer. It was severe warned in advance. The wind gusts at the start of it had to be in the 50s mph and the rain rates were torrential. Preliminary amounts were 1.5-2" within just 30 minutes. My street is completely flooded. Lights were out once for a minute or so with some CTG strikes. On the backside the lightning flashes are at ~35/minute! Everything about this storm was classic for a memorable summer thunderstorm. I'm glad I was inside! What Hunter AAF experienced is similar to what I saw: 0755 PM TSTM WND GST HUNTER ARMY AIRFIELD 32.01N 81.13W 08/08/2023 M53 MPH CHATHAM GA ASOS HUNTER ARMY AIRFIELD GUSTED TO 53 MPH. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthHillsWx Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Anyone order up any lightning? If so your order was delivered to the Raleigh area this afternoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthHillsWx Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Had 5 separate storms yesterday all with a lot of lightning. Kinda got a little fringed on most of them but still picked up 0.45” of rain. Did not get fringed by lightning however.

eyewall Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Durham got hammered with a microburst. Anyway I caught these in Raleigh: 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted August 16, 2023 Author Share Posted August 16, 2023 Yesterday at 1:40 pm, we were at 92. Most impressive though was that our dew point hit 84.5 for a feels like temp of 121. The storms last night fell apart before hitting us but did send a nice gust front through which helped to drop our temps down a bit. Only picked up .06" last night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 It’s bad when 92 and a heat index of 95 qualifies as a cool down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsman Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Yesterday: RDU hit 100, but it only got to 96.5 IMBY. .22" of rain, enough for the garden. 68.9 this morning before the drive in to work, felt amazing, windows were down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbmclean Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 0.29" today, for 1.96" over the last three days. The garden and grass needed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
