We got hit several times yesterday with probably a couple of inches (ants ate my Tempest again). About 5:30 we had a lighting strike hit the house or so near the house it tripped the GFIs on my covered back porch. I provide power via that GFI to the local internet provider (and get free internet) so I wouldn't have known until the kids complained. I'm just glad it didn't burn anything up.
Been misty here all day. 71. What a nice April day!
The Cocorahs data is pretty good for that.
There were some flash food warnings out last night in the upper catchment areas of the Lumber & Little Pee Dee rivers so if we're lucky we can hold off on more draconian water restrictions. Both rivers have been effectively ankle deep since Memorial Day.
I've had mostly sunny until today, maybe a brief .1 or .2 here and there, but major storms close by.

There used to be a great place to go, but I can't find it anymore. I believe it was a river forecasting site.

13 inches here in the last 6 weeks... And that's just at the airport. There's been way more than that in some areas
Crazy
And Texas may have historic flooding again
Middle of July.. it's been over 110 degrees with no end in sight by now some years

That looks about like I thought it would. I'm in that little blue dot near Spartanburg surrounded by those red areas.
65 this morning. Unfortunately every summer front is followed by an air fryer
This upper low is so close to driving much the carolinas and ga out of remaining drought or back into d0-d1 but it's also close to not raining at all

I'll be in North Myrtle next week. Really hope the tropical system doesn't develop while I'm there.

Knew it was coming eventually but I mean it's been way too easy this summer and we're behind most years on 100s already
I still don't think the moisture completely shuts off though for long. The signals are everywhere about this super Nino. The Texas group is already counting down to when the Pacific hurricanes start recurving

We've had less than 10" worth of rain so far this year. We need every drop we can get.
Is this the type of product you guys looking for observed precip would want?
also yes or no to the temp bubbles

heat the next couple of days has slowly crept up on modeling over the course of this week. looking at a scorcher for many
YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST:
SD Bermuda Lawn will record 10.0+ double digit rainfall for the month of July 2026. Beleive he is sitting at 5.5 ish. He's gonna get 2-3 by this time next week. How? Rogue T storm over the weekend and the NE Gulf Gyro is gonna cough up another 1-2 from various dynamics next week.
Then all my forecasted call has to do to verify is get him under a strong T storm the last 5-6 days of July and whala!
It keeps inching west. Can the trend continue? 
The NWS in Raleigh mentioned the trend you are referring to in their forecast discussion this morning. Let's see if we can keep pushing those heavier precipitation totals further west.
Just not like the tropical system last July, please. I’d rather not deal with I-40 flooded over again!
I need more forecasts like this in my life
Yoink
You about to get Culver’s??
It’s 92/101 currently!
