GaWx Posted August 21, 2024 Author Share Posted August 21, 2024 Strong thunderstorms have popped along the seabreeze front and are now over downtown as well as N into lower SC. I’ve heard a good bit of thunder but am not getting any rain at least as of yet. Edit 9:14 PM: The heavy rain has slowly slipped S and now it is falling here. I ended up with ~1”. I actually got a little bit of new flooding into my garage but I took care of that. I’ve been waiting for them to get out here to replace the garage door’s bottom seal. They’ve had a lot of calls due to Debby backing them up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yotaman Posted August 21, 2024 Share Posted August 21, 2024 Low of 63 with a high of only 80. Dew points in the mid 50's made it feel like late September not August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Occluded Front Posted August 21, 2024 Share Posted August 21, 2024 First day in awhile I actually felt like I was not inside a oven. Low was 61 with high of 83 I expect Thursday to be a great early taste of fall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted August 22, 2024 Share Posted August 22, 2024 Low of 60, high of only 79. New Bern set a record low of 57 this morning. Very impressive for mid August. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted August 23, 2024 Share Posted August 23, 2024 Now looks highly likely we’ll make it 21 days through the end of the month without measurable rainfall. Last measurable rain here was the 9th. At least we’re guaranteed an above average month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted August 23, 2024 Share Posted August 23, 2024 If we make it 21 days, that will mark the 3rd 3 week stretch without measurable rainfall this year! Talk about inconsistent rains. That’s actually a wild stat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted August 23, 2024 Author Share Posted August 23, 2024 The dewpoints well down into the 60s along with pretty brisk NE winds and afternoon temps in the 80s here the last couple of days have been refreshing for summer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olafminesaw Posted August 23, 2024 Share Posted August 23, 2024 At GSO we are at 82 hours and counting with a dew point below 60. That is the 7th longest streak all time for the month of August. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthHillsWx Posted August 27, 2024 Share Posted August 27, 2024 It’s unbelievable I’m saying this but we could use some rain. The fall food plots are drying out quick and I’m back to watering my yard every day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted August 27, 2024 Share Posted August 27, 2024 Heat is back on. High of 92 after a low of 69. Dew points in the mid 70's made it feel like the low 100's most of the day. And we could use some rain once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted August 28, 2024 Share Posted August 28, 2024 Steamy day today. High of 95. Dew points in the mid 70's made it feel like 105 much of the afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsman Posted August 29, 2024 Share Posted August 29, 2024 The capacitor in my Davis station has gone out (again) so I'm without obs till I get a new battery. The outside obs I do have is the maple in the front yard is dropping leaves like it's early October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted August 29, 2024 Share Posted August 29, 2024 Another hot one today. Already 92 and it's only noon. Dew point is 78 which makes it feel like 108. Edit: had a high of 97 tying our hottest of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Occluded Front Posted August 30, 2024 Share Posted August 30, 2024 it was 98 between 3 and 4 pm on August 29th here at my residence. This morning Aug 30 as I walked out to put food for the critters, it was a heat blast of humid 75 degree air. I will be glad for cooler air to arrive and hopefully it brings some abundant rains.

yotaman Posted August 30, 2024 Share Posted August 30, 2024 High of 90. Clouds and outflow from nearby storms have dropped us down to 76. Just light rain so far. Nothing in the bucket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It went form 92.6º to 67.8º in about 30 minutes. After the above post things really got rocking. Best lightning and thunder in several years. Picked up 2.75” of rain in about an hour. Put me over 9” for the month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted September 1, 2024 Author Share Posted September 1, 2024 Total here for August: 15.33”, with 10.9” from Debby 8/5-7 (which flooded parts of my garage). A thunderstorm on 8/20 caused some more water to flow into my garage but it wasn’t nearly as bad and I was on top of it. It has been at least several years since I had 15.33” in any month. The 15.33” combined with 12.25” in July gives me a two month total of a whopping 27.58”, which is just over double the normal! My JJA was ~31”. That is just under the 32.23” I got in the also very wet JJA of 2022. I got 20.9” just for the period 7/19-8/7! There’s been only traces since after the Aug 20th thunderstorm allowing the water table to drop back down some. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted September 1, 2024 Share Posted September 1, 2024 If you’d told me my MTD for August would be 11.30” but it didn’t rain a drop from August 9-30 I’d probably have to doubt that total was achievable but that is what we got! We had 3 rain events (though Debby was multi-day) that resulted in 11.30”. Talk about maximizing the events given to you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
