Have you ever seen a forecast like this in Early August ? 5 straight days at or below 80 ?

What a start to our hottest month

Satellite's got that "melting ice cream" look over central nc and southern va that happens with CAD/moist ne flow onset. Can literally see the cooler surface air coming in

Sweet relief initiated.

Widespread 4-6” over the next week.

An east west band of scattered thunderstorms, some heavy, has popped up from W of my area to offshore. I started hearing thunder a little while ago and now it is raining at varying intensities.

Edit: I received ~1” today, which I think is the heaviest since July 13th.

Cut that by 75-90% north of I-20. A few places may get what this map has, but most will get less than .50 from Rome GA to Columbia SC and north.

Getting raked right now. Finally something to break this god awful heat wave.

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

Pouring rain here now

Upper 40’s beech mtn, Sugar, Pisgah late this weekend

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

20 degree mid summer swing here. Don’t remember too many of those over the years

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

Stout outflow. Dumping here

 

[JHS]

And just as I knew days ago this is missing this area. We will be in severe drought by next week. Anything that shows widespread rain is useless. Now we get 7-10 days plus of dry weather for everyone.

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

Needed it! Now we head into the misty rain cool down. Great start

 

[Drizzle Snizzle]

1.65” of rain today. Not a bad start to August !

You can’t peg these rain events but if you’re on the immediate lee side of the mountains you can assume your chances are even more sparse. Take the wins when you can

This one was hyped up bigtime though just like a snowstorm would be. The mets on Facebook basically guaranteed everyone would get lots of rain out of this. Now some are trying to say next week will be wet. Next week will be bone dry for many of us right through and beyond next Friday. We need the tropics to wake up to change things up.

That's TODAY here in SENC..

 

[SD]

.1 today! Idk how some of your guys always get rain and multiple inches but good job

 

[SENC]

A even 8.00 +/- precip for July, lets see what August brings..
(Measured at the Airport KILM) but,,, it's inland.. NOT accounting for Seabreeze Storms & Showers right here on the Beaches..
So far about a inch just today..

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

Y’all don’t know heat

Damn!!!!

I know Wilmington and surrounding towns Burgaw, Leland, Winnabow have had enough rain. I see your area and Jacksonville get hit some too

I have been pleased with the rain totals the past few days for my local! It had seemed the we were in a dry bubble for most of July with rain to the north, south, east and west but the past few days have been wonderful. Now going forward the GFS op has it pretty dry but the Euro is wet. Praying the Euro is more correct but we will see.

Drought buster

I've been saying for years that there's something about that area...from your place into SE Wake and around there.

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

Little bit of a hail core trying to form on radar..My fescue is about to go crazy this week. Joy

This 2nd round is going to miss me too. This area is cursed like no other.

The GFS will be right. I guarantee it.

Thinking about leaving too. People are getting more rain today than I had in all of July, its really tiresome

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

Another 1”+ in the last hour

That's more than we will see before Thanksgiving over here.

 

[JHS]

Well, it's the GFS and NAM against all other models for next week. We would get tons of rain if the Euro and Canadian models could be believed, but my money is on the GFS which keeps as dry for 10+ days.

72 at 10:30 in Union. We haven't even had a morning low that low in forever. If these clouds hold up, I can see us not going above 75-77 or so today.
