I can't believe it made a beeline straight up here. I'll probably just get clipped as its still mostly S of MBY, but I still owe SD a beer or 12 for this week alone.
It's actually advancing in this direction but appears to be losing some steam. Not sure it's gonna hold
 
I'm still looking for one of those one inch or more rain totals for a day here near Lake Wheeler. I did get .29 inches yesterday which beats the trace I received the previous day. Saturday and Sunday look promising but I'm still playing the waiting game.
 
Heard a new term in the morning AFD "Corfidi." zero clue what it means. But I know what backbulding and training of cells means. fingers crossed.

With seasonably enhanced westerly flow in place over the southern
Mid-Atlantic, storm motions should be rather progressive to preclude
scattered flooding risk. However, if any trailing outflow is able to
lay out east-west across the forecast area, training and back
building storms will be possible as better deep layer moisture and
weak Corfidi vectors are in place to provide a locally enhanced
flooding risk. By Sun a mid-lvl low may stall around the TN Valley
and could bring diabatic precipitation atop a CAD boundary over the
western Piedmont and eastern slopes of the southern Appalachians,
bringing increased rainfall to our western counties. But confidence
in timing/location of this mid-lvl feature is low at this time.
 
Not sure what the record is for consecutive 100 degrees days at Wilmington but I wouldn't imagine it's many being so close to the coast. Going for number 3 today.

The ILM Airport will have
its potential 3rd consecutive day to observe 100+ degree max
temps.

EDIT: so if we hit 100 today it will be only the 4th time in history Wilmington has hit 100 on 3 consecutive days. The last time it happened was 2012

I see Raleigh is number one with six days reaching 100 degrees. Fayetteville is number two with five days of triple digit heat. Those numbers may get bigger next weekend with another impending heat wave on the way. With the rest of July, August and September to go, Raleigh might break the record of twelve 100 degree days for a year in 2026.
