Pattern Dry July 2024

That line of thunderstorms looks good on radar. If it holds together as it crosses Wake County, I'll finally get some badly needed rain for my garden. I'm going to have to cut my yard this weekend for the first time in over three weeks. I have missed the rain but I have not missed mowing the grass.
 
Looks like the front is pushing towards the Triangle right now:

Once it catches up with the current storms it'll start moving them faster towards the east. Right now, they keep training northeastward. Which is great for me.
 
RAH already pointing out that the rich will get richer tomorrow along 95 and RDU north. Most of us will be parched again by the end of next week with multiple 100s coming up

Thin line if rain in the county here this morning I had to drive thru it to get to work. Unlike other showers the last few weeks this had insanely large drops and very heavy rates even under weaker radar returns. This contrast last week when I was under heavier returns on radar but the rain was lighter than I would expect given radar presentation.

It did not take much to drop a inch this morning in spots around town this morning, rates in these showers are insane. Looks like my house will cash in here shortly might finally have to cut the grass again.
 
Also.last night in the ILM obs we only dropped below a 90 degree heat index in one obs and went right back over 5 minutes later. We averaged a HI of 93 for the overnight hours. Helps front door
 
Solid start to the event along a line from Kinston to Williamston, areas just SW of Grifton already closing in on 7” this morning with a FFW now in effect. Someone’s getting a foot by the time all is said and done Saturday, of course not me.

Big difference on the totals on the different radars...RDU has my house at 2.2", MHX has it at .98, either way its welcomed.
 
Other than temporary lulls it's hard to imagine we lose a wetter pattern through the end of July with next weekend potentially being the wettest pattern we have seen regionally.
 
Story of my summer. IlM discos points out how much my area has sucked at rain recebtly

Some parts of the Grand Strand and Cape Fear regions didn`t
record a drop, while others have recorded 1-3 inches so far today.
Some isolated mesonet stations have recorded nearly 4 inches.

Hoping so. The NBM is trending east still with the area of >1” totals running almost on top of the Waccamaw river and points east. Gonna need a new drought category if we don’t get a dump and it’s in the upper 90s next week. The extension office is throwing out 50% loss in yield for corn and potentially worse than that. Beans are hanging on from rain 2 weeks ago but the next week or two is critical.

We can't seem to catch a break! The National Weather Service at RDU has backed off the chances of rain for tonight. The forecasters still seem pretty confident that we will get widespread coverage tomorrow. We can only wait and see what happens.
 
Thunder woke the house up shortly after 4am but still no rain. Looks like Whiteville over towards Lake Waccamaw have done well. Sorely needed there too as Lake Waccamaw was dry out to about the first set of benches on the state park pier.
