So far the drought hasn't slowed down my grass. Goodness; if we're going to have a major drought at least give me a break on having to mow.
Down here in the sandy parts even the weeds have died.

We often get crashing seabreezes here in Wilmington as one comes north and one from the eastDue to the coastal geography of Long Bay (SC) and Onslow Bay (NC) we get some incredibly strong seabreeze boundaries pretty much every day from mid-late April through about the first week of August. Once the shelf waters warm up enough they reduce quite a bit. I'm talking 20 mph or more sustained as it roars inland past I-95. The seabreeze effect isn't anywhere near as strong further up in NC and further south into the lowcountry of SC and GA.
A neat thing is due to the shape of the coast there's a convergence zone right around Bolivia, NC where the boundaries collide. That area is almost guaranteed a seabreeze generated storm during the summer.
I also believe that but we'll have to go through another two weeks of continued dry weather. Below is the 6z euro AI showing total QPF at day 12. Most other models also show a similar look.Pattern change is coming

The longer range CFS shows the rains coming the following two weeks (weeks 3 & 4). This would be the pattern change.

Wen 90suntil the front gets involved this is about as tight of an ensemble envelope as you could ask for as a forecaster lol

Just wait until you can say that about the last rain drop.Didn't hit 90 today, getting close to 7 months since the last 90+
Already backing off totals. Feels like winter all over again, we're not tracking events we're tracking pattern change. Which are always delayed and not as advertised.
Guess I'm wrong lol. Just seems 2" in 2 weeks isn't that much, but I haven't really been paying attention either so....
Ops are pretty volatile right now, it had less than .25 a few runs ago for 2 weeks. I'm more excited about the means slowly increasing the last few runs. 2 inches in 2 weeks is pretty normal for this time of year, I don't think we see a pattern to reverse the drought anytime soon but if we can just do average through the end of summer we would be fineThis is why I said that...
