There is a certain weenie who literally 3 or 4 days ago said no more shots at 100 this year who's been suspiciously absent this week.

Would you be talking about the same weenie who thinks there are no dry areas in the Carolina's because his yard is waterlogged?
Hm don’t think this was me but I certainly didn’t believe an 100 day would come .. but then again we used to get strings of 100+ more often than recent .. if the dog days are just a dog DAY and for only RDU then I think we can handle that!
As I’ve always said western NC has struggled to get their danglies wet .. eastern NC is a bit waterlogged .. now central NC is taking a beating which has been noticeable we haven’t had a decent storm in a while I dont know who Thinks apex is a water capital but not as of recently. Luckily showers and thunderstorm look to be more prominent the next few days and should correct this

Its me and its mostly Wilsonville area (I consider it Apex) and I went through a heavy shower just a few days ago there.

I also wonder if those soil maps are lagging behind the drought, meaning its not showing how bad it is. I havent had rain at all and my soil cant be beat with a hammer.

Officially the high so far in Winston-Salem this summer has been 94 on three separate occasions. By my count, there has been a total (counting today) of 28 days of 90 or above which is just about normal for us.

Pretty incredible that there have been 28 days of 90 and no temps above 94.
I can't see where that map is very accurate. I've had 12 inches since June 1st which is close to average. But 4 inches came in a few hrs and just ran off. Hasn't rained in 9 days at all here and it shows me doing better than places like Concord where it rains every single day. I find that hard to believe. Only explanation is my soil holds moisture better than the soil farther east.

Yeah this week was an overperformer at RDU and only rdu
If the bright colors on the map are for dry soil then I can tell you that over Union County, NC is way off. Up until the last few days, most of the county has had fairly consistent rainfall at least every few days throughout the summer
It's the best real time higher res map I've found but it's not without its flaws.
Yeah I said the same thing. I didn’t think any of us would have anymore shots at 100 and I ended up being not to far off yesterday myself. My high was 98 which was the hottest of the summer.
KATL has reached 90F or above 21 times, with 95F being the highest just once.

It's been more about the humidity than temps this summer. Temps just above average but with very high dewpoints making things feel much hotter.
Already over 3500 joules of SBcape, looks like cape is edging to the higher side of guidance, along with solid mid level lapse rates and large Dcape, probably gonna be a handful of pulse-severe convection 
Did any other official stati9n in the area hit or exceed 100?

I dont remember what you said, but I do remember Shane throwing caution to claims of no 100's, and "but its seeming less and less likely"
