Disappointed as heck, still no good lightning shots since late April, got shafted today, I’m getting pissed, lol watch me go to work Next week then things happen

I don't understand what's with Charlotte in the summer. This happens in more cases than not. Raleigh always gets good summertime convection. I guess the Lee trough force wasn't enough for some decent outflow boundaries. SUCKS!
 
Getting one of the most classic summer time severe thunderstorms through and through here in APEX ... great developing wall cloud with blue tint rolls over our skies and drops hail high winds and waves of heavy rain .. decent lightning and deep loud rolls of thunder along with monsoon rains remain .. streets easily flooding now with I’m assuming extremely high rainfall rates
 
Would not be shocked if we stay dry here the rest of the summer. It happened in 1993.
 
Are you F-ing kidding me?

Charlotte screw zone incoming... Raleigh always seems to do better in these setups.

While I don’t understand the mechanisms behind it best, but Raleigh is wetter and stormier a bit than Charlotte in summer. Further east and south you are the bigger the summer precip maximum is, further west and north less.

81-10 RDU precip J/J/A 12.51

81-10 CLT precip J/J/A 11.64

The difference is really pronounced where Raleigh peaks at almost 5 inches in July where as Charlotte is at a minimum for the summer under 4 inches in July. 91-20 is really interesting the summer precip maximum is much more pronounced in Raleigh which goes along with a warming world . Also, looking at other stations around Raleigh seems RDU is a bit of a dry spot , most in the triangle seem to average 45-46 inches of rain annually whereas RDU is 43.

Raleigh is also more humid and a bit hotter than Charlotte , plus higher dews here.

Raleigh averages more snow though

Yes , it does! That is despite being a little warmer in winter though . That is another thing that baffles me , I think it has to do with more boom or bust . Raleigh has a greater potential for big snowfall events because we are closer to the coast perhaps? I know for example places west of the apps are much colder in winter relative to places along the same latitude that are east of the apps .

Nashville for example is around 5 degrees colder in winter than Raleigh but averages the same amount of snowfall . However , Nashville also averages double the snowfall days that Raleigh does. Your more likely to see snow in Nashville but the snow in Raleigh is likely to be of a greater amount .

That happens here a lot. If there is a way for us to miss rain it always happens. No real chance now for a long time either.

We all have just about daily chances all week next week. No need to worry

Yeah I think the wedge takes some precip out of the equation a lot of times compared to west of here. But I still rather have the wedge or would never be cold enough.

Better chance of a sandstorm than thunderstorm this time of year where you live ? Massive , catastrophic crop failures due to historic unprecedented drought ?
 
If the 18z gfs right we get into the mid 90's starting Sunday and stay between that and 100+ across much of the southeast through day 10.

Yo dude, I have to ask this, if you are so miserable in Jonesville, South Carolina, why the hell do you live there? I mean, I can certainly understand the fact that it is indeed miserable, and I would probably be on suicide watch if I woke up tomorrow living there, but damn. For the sake of your mental health, please move.
 
Been raining for hours here this is crazy we had a 30% chance earlier lol flash flood warning just popped up in Dallas

Looking at the Euro it really is feast or famine around here this wasn't supposed to be our best chance even

Just came to post the same things. Wouldn't be surprised to see an axis of really high rain totals somewhere as well. Sea breeze/outflow from coastal plain convection may back west and collide with the eastward moving outflow from storms forming in Western nc. Should be a pretty active day overall

Shameless bump up to 8 inches east of Fay, 1.97 here. Today has some similarities but probably less coverage and maybe a little more storm motion/less back building. It does look like the sea breeze may or coastal plain outflow may make a run west and we will have incoming convection/outflow from the west81474.png

Looks spot on to me. Told someone the other day I'll finish JJA with less than 5 inches total.

Idk Im hard pressed looking at the euro and eps to see big shut outs over the next 2 weeks. The only way I could see things sucking for your area is if the mountain convection gets steered more due east across NC and the lee/piedmont trough is biased slightly east
 
Lightning here. Hate when storms move due south it’s unfavorable in terms of widespread rain because nothing survives crashing off the Ashe County mountains. They always redevelop in spotty areas
