The newest HRRR is holding that together and expanding it over the next few hours

That area is interesting to me even here. That's a pretty rapid decay on the models this evening but it looks like there's some hints of a mcv near Augusta. It'll be interesting to see if that starts forcing warm muggy air over the ofb that went south today and there's enough elevated instability for that to beat the models in longevity and coverage.
 
I’ve been receiving mainly moderate rain from several thunderstorms over the last ~90 minutes. The CTG lightning is currently rather frequent with it causing a power blink a few minutes ago. No wind to speak of. Typical summer storms.

The latest HRRR is holding it together for us.

received 1” on the nose in just under 30 minutes today putting us at 5.67” for the month. After basically nothing from the 2nd week of May until last week it’s welcome. The grass never got going before the drought hit so it’s finally filling in.
 
Well thought I was gonna get blanked today but as usual the pattern of night time development seems to be playing out again with a line popping very close and just south of me
 
I hope no one from the NWS is watching the radar over Wilkes Co tonight cause I have the storms moving from “East to West” and slamming into the blue ridge with a back build currently. No other storms doing this nearby.
 
Always the bridesmaid never the bride. I hate to even complain because I ended up with exactly 1 inch over night. Then again I was on the cutoff between much lower totals and some places that had 5 inches.KLTX - Digital Storm Total Accum., 7_14 AM (1).png

I get it and it's the same for me. No complaints about my rain total but I would like to catch the core of one of these imby, if for nothing else than to satisfy my weather nerd. It's been a while since I've been dead center

Man the weather nerd part I get. I don't want/need any rain now but if a storm is coming I want to be dead center too. For that reason alone, otherwise if I could I'd deflect every raindrop your way

It's like waking up and seeing 3 inches of snow on the ground. You are happy you got it and it's much appreciated then you realize just a couple miles down the road got 8 inches and the pain and letdown sets in.
 
Tomorrow will mark 2 weeks since we have had a good rainfall here and the HRRR says we basically see none for the next 48 hours. The great wet is a no show here. The big heat is coming back and maybe we can somehow get a storm with that in about 10 days.

Welcome to SE Wake Co, just replace the 3 inches with a flake and two sleet pellets.
 
Im on the other side of the apps today near Johnson city. Pops couldnt handle the curves coming down from Boone, so went up to VA and cane dow I 81. Its been dry as well through sw VA back into TN. Fescue Brown. But they got rain all around this morning. Usually plush green in southern Apps during humid summer. Bout as brown as Ive ever seen it in summer

I'm beginning to wonder if Atlanta will hit 90 again this summer.

The airport certainly will many times. Now that our humidity and soil moisture are normal we shouldn’t see many, if any mid or high 90s. At least the stations that aren’t over 5 runways.
 
How on earth did this radar return produce thunder loud enough to rattle the china cabinet? Holy moly. These storms have been wild the last few days. Almost continuous lightning off to the east last night from 1045-midnight.

For 2nd evening in a row and over last hour, my area is getting good rainfall from a series of thunderstorms. Heavier rates of rain today though yesterday’s still gave me ~1” due to long duration of moderate.
 
Further to the above post (also the lightning including nearby CTG strikes just now has become frequent):
