Pattern July '22

Yeah, spot checking around central NC and most locations not close to RDU's 102. Maybe some kind of mesohigh or something...
They back the jet up to the sensor every once in awhile.

97/74 at the house, although the station is in the back yard in the grass and not on the tarmac next to the fire pit.
 
Reached 93 today and have turned overcast for the last couple of hours with storms heading this way. It's dark outside with thunder in the distance so hopefully we can keep putting a dent in the heat. Things are dry but not nearly as bad as you head east towards Charlotte and the coast.
 
Got to 102 at my house.

Mesoscale Discussion 1402
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0429 PM CDT Wed Jul 06 2022

Areas affected...northern SC...western and central NC

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

Valid 062129Z - 062230Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

SUMMARY...Isolated to widely scattered wind damage is likely through
the mid evening.

DISCUSSION...Radar mosaic and 10-km CAPPI reflectivity shows several
clusters of strong to severe thunderstorms from parts of central VA
south-southwest into the Upstate of SC. The airmass ahead of these
storms is very unstable (2500-3500 J/kg MLCAPE). The hot surface
temperatures (near 100 deg f) late this afternoon coupled with
dewpoints in the lower 70s are combining to foster an environment
featuring steep low-level lapse rates and high PW. The mean
west-northwesterly flow around the mid-level high over the TN Valley
will favor southeast storm motions. Water-loaded downdrafts capable
of isolated to widely scattered gusts (45-65 mph) will be common
with the more intense cores. Pockets of wind damage will likely
result with gusts approaching severe limits.
