We seem to be running higher than RDU due to slightly higher DP. Further east = more pain today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olafminesaw Posted July 15, 2024 Share Posted July 15, 2024 Meanwhile GSO has hit 97 already tying yesterday's high which was the hottest day since 2015. We have a legitimate chance of hitting 100 for the first time since 2012 (although more likely temps will stall out at 98/99). With much more reasonable dew points, our heat index is also 97.

I’d say probably no more than 102-103. A 5 degree rise from 3PM seems like a lot even with full sun, especially with a dewpoint up at 73. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted July 15, 2024 Author Share Posted July 15, 2024 Hit 94 before a surprise thunderstorm developed right over us. Dropped .61" and had some wind gust into the 30's easily. Also dropped temp down to 74. Sun is back out and temp is climbing once again. Already back up to 84. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since we peaked at 100 it’s dropped to 97 under cloud cover. Not unhappy about it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the afternoon thunderstorm jackpot on these insanely hot days. Those are my favorite storms, just always hope they’re late enough in the evening to avoid the inevitable humidity hell when sun pops back out! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted July 15, 2024 Share Posted July 15, 2024 RDU at 4PM is sunny but the temp is down to 96. So, I’m thinking the high will probably end up 100-101 and only outside shot that 102 may have been reached earlier. Edit: high Monday ended up at 101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted July 16, 2024 Share Posted July 16, 2024 It looks like RDU’s highest today may end up “only” at 97 (high through 4:30PM) though it could sneak up to 98. Comparing to FAY and Winston, that’s not out of line as they have been similar today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsman Posted July 17, 2024 Share Posted July 17, 2024 96.4 at 5:10pm. Storms in the area creating a breeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted July 17, 2024 Share Posted July 17, 2024 97.3 here for the high. In line with RDU. Thankful for the afternoon clouds and breeze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted July 17, 2024 Share Posted July 17, 2024 I wonder if subsidence behind the ongoing coastal convection will dampen storm development for central and eastern NC today. NAM kinda showing that now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthHillsWx Posted July 18, 2024 Share Posted July 18, 2024 For the *very* limited sample size- RDUs observations seem to be much more in line with surrounding areas since rain returned. I wonder if the flash drought + location led to locally higher readings? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olafminesaw Posted July 18, 2024 Share Posted July 18, 2024 Storms just firing just south of the VA border along the outflow boundary formed by the morning MCS. Will be interesting to watch and see if that boundary continues to develop and move south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted July 18, 2024 Share Posted July 18, 2024 Well, 0.10” was too much. We’re at 0.00” and got the split. Unbelievable EDIT: being in a FFW and getting barely enough rain to wet the grass is comical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
