I’m worried we’re in big trouble locally. I’m starting to see sandbars in spots on lake hickory that I’ve never witnessed having depth issues before.

I think we should slowly see conditions improve the next few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooneWX Posted June 30 Author Share Posted June 30 3,000 j/kg of storm fuel and dew points in the upper 70s, I’m floored the radar isn’t full at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a decent shower here too. .27 more. Grass is making a comeback quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grass is making a comeback quickly. .04 here and nothing in sight for a while. Did the tug test on several dormant areas of grass today and it’s finally giving in. Suppose I’ll punt until fall.

BooneWX Posted July 5 Author Share Posted July 5 Storms fell apart again. I’ll continue my 4+ week streak of no appreciable rain for another day. Hoping the weather can warm up a bit and maybe we get higher dew points so we can overcome this severe lack of storm fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parts of the Blue Ridge 10 miles NW away had 2-3 inches. 10 miles to the south had a heavy storm. 10 miles to the east had a severe storm. Here- only a trace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wncsnow Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 I thought we might indirectly or directly get beneficial rain from Beryl but that looks less likely now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wncsnow Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 The rain today has been comically missing my location again. 5 miles to the south and west are getting drenched. Not a drop here yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wncsnow Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 We ended up with .13. Might be some more light rain or sprinkles later. Looks like central and eastern NC will be the big winner with rain the next week or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wncsnow Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Next 7 days look paltry for our area. July has a long ways to become above average rainfall here. Less than .20 so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooneWX Posted July 10 Author Share Posted July 10 Had a little over a half an inch on Sunday - the most since mid-May. It’s not nearly enough when we’re pushing 100 every single day of the week. My yard dying out sucks but I really feel for the farmers. I don’t think I’ve seen a corn crop look as pitiful as what I’ve seen the past few days in my life.

BooneWX Posted July 10 Author Share Posted July 10 Also curious - where does this summer rank for you guys? We’re mid way through July and if next weeks temperatures verify, I’m getting close to crowning this as the worst and hottest summer I’ve seen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was fortunate to escape to Alaska for two weeks, but otherwise it has been “Yuck!” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wncsnow Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 2 to 4 inches of much needed rain is being shown on all models from Wednesday-Monday with waves of moisture on a stalled front. Hopefully we can't screw this one up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WiseWeather Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Dodged the storms today. Hopefully this weekend we can change the narrative.Got what seemed to be a small microburst today coming down 321 in granite heading towards hickory…. Very windy and heavy rain… then i got to the 321 bridge and it just stopped. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have less than that on the month. Just a few sprinkles today. Models still look promising the next week for multiple rounds of showers and storms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
