The line that came through RDU last night stalled to the east, Flood Warnings up from Greenville south to Kinston, no strangers to flooding there. The line is still stuck in almost the same place!!

After many weeks of bone dry conditions NOAA has Pitt county in "severe drought" which can easily be seen simply by looking at our vegetation but that ended abruptly today. That eastbound frontal boundary dropped a deluge here in Greenville this morning (1"+)and then after clearing the area returned this afternoon as a westbound front and slammed us even harder (2"+). Police department is telling people to stay off the roads due to widespread flash flooding. Feast or famine eh? Thoughts to the farmers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted July 11 Author Share Posted July 11 80% chance of rain today and we got nothing. Line stalled to the west of us. Hot and humid today. High of 94 and dew points in the upper 70's all day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsman Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Was a pleasant early morning with temps in the upper 60's! Stayed just below 90 today with a high of 89.6 at 5:40pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olafminesaw Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Seems to be a big of low level subsidence that is inhibiting the development of heavier precip across the triad. We may end up underperforming unless we can get some better lift. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either you get under one of the bands or you will be nickel and diming it. Raining steady here right now but we’ve only picked up 0.16” so far 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbmclean Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Got 0.81 early this morning but have been dodging cells since then. Really would like to pick up a 2" for the event try to keep the lawn/garden limping through the semi-permanent heat wave it seems we're going to be in during this summer.

GaWx Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 A pop up here lead to some close-by CTG lightning strikes, including one which seemed like it may have been right on my property and lead to the power blinking. Rainfall light so far/ongoing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted July 12 Author Share Posted July 12 On and off quick rain showers for much of the day. The storms are moving so quick they barely put down .10" before moving on. Have totaled .33" so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raining steady here right now but we’ve only picked up 0.16” so far The precip distribution actually ended up being fairly uniform surprisingly enough, but the precip cutoff was just a bit further East than modeled (we were living on the edge anyhow). Thankfully we got the heavy rain last Sunday that put a dent in the drought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsman Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 1.71" for yesterday. Serious condensation on the house this morning, even on the new windows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted July 13 Author Share Posted July 13 Ended up with 1.92" for the day yesterday and got an additional .36" this morning. Currently just after noon it is 85/78 with a feels like temp of 96. Storms are building once again. Edit: Just picked up an additional .24" giving me a 2 day total of 2.52" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted July 14 Author Share Posted July 14 Not even noon and it is already 92/79 for a feels like temp of 110. The heat wave has begun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 The next 3-4 days look brutal with regard to the HI. With the heavy rainfall that RDU received last week, it will be interesting to see whether or not RDU resumes being hotter than FAY and other nearby areas. It is a near certainty the entire area will be hot but will RDU resume sticking out now that the drought has lessened? So far today, it looks pretty uniform with RDU and nearby mainly 92-3 at noon and FAY up at 95. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 We finished with 2.2” on Friday and now have 4.01” for the month. 97.9 seems to be the high for today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far today, it looks pretty uniform with RDU and nearby mainly 92-3 at noon and FAY up at 95. As of this writing, RDU had made it to at least 100. We maxed out at 97.9 I believe, currently sitting at 97.1. So 2+ degrees more than here again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted July 14 Author Share Posted July 14 Topped out at 97 which is our high for the year so far. Heat index topped out at 119. So clouds moved in with the sea breeze and dropped us to 89 at 4pm. Back up to 91 with the sun back out now at 5:30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 I bet RDU hits 105 today. Heat index of 95 at 9 am at my house. We’re going to surpass heat advisory levels I almost guarantee it. Make it stop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They upped the advisory to a warning after my post a couple hours ago. It’s going to hit warning levels by noon. Brutal day incoming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
