Big rain north, south, east, west up, and down. Sink zone doing work.
You can take that to the bank.What a great HRRR run 0.00 through 48 hrs here and RAH was talking about flood watches ?

What is the deal with the busted forecasts lately for storms and rain here?What a great HRRR run 0.00 through 48 hrs here and RAH was talking about flood watches ?

Drought or flood. Pick your poison.Settle down NAM some 12-16" totals just south of MBY....this would put a dent in the drought though obviously we got NAMd, still figure some widespread 1-3" totals likely....

Got a 5ver that says I stay bone dry again. Can a brotha just get a sprinkle at least?99% of NC under a level 2 threat for severe storms today.

I got in on that storm too on the other side of the county. I had 1.91 in 34 minutes. 2.1" total.WOW !!
1.5 in 21 minutes and still not done.
One of the heaviest rains I've ever seen.
I've been in a continuous lightning storm once near the coast during the summer when I was in my teens. Never seen anything close since.I got in on that storm too on the other side of the county. I had 1.91 in 34 minutes. 2.1" total.
Also had one of the craziest amounts of lightning i've ever seen. 2 hours of non stop thunder. There was a lightning flash every 3-5 seconds, some really close too. I had more thunder than one of those youtube thunderstorm videos. Damn, it was epic!
There were some strong gusts with this storm too, branches and smaller sticks everywhere and the occasional small tree knocked down.
I wonder if it's due to reduced discharge from inland rivers, and less mixing along the coast.At carolina Beach for and I'm not sure I've ever seen thr water this color before. This is like some gulf of Mexico turquoise clear water.
I was at Atlantic and it was more green. I’d describe the water as really green less like the gulf but definitely greener - tealish than usual. Has to do with Gulf Stream I think .At carolina Beach for and I'm not sure I've ever seen thr water this color before. This is like some gulf of Mexico turquoise clear water.
Same at Holden yesterday. Gorgeous color, like 3 shades of blue. Got a few nice 4ft breakers as wellAt carolina Beach for and I'm not sure I've ever seen thr water this color before. This is like some gulf of Mexico turquoise clear water.
Yeah waves have been solid this weekSame at Holden yesterday. Gorgeous color, like 3 shades of blue. Got a few nice 4ft breakers as well
Wrong thread......With the new climate we have if you went forward 100s of years some places would be desert.
It's summer man no good dynamics to force storms/ rain so you are depending on mesoscale features to force convection. Yesterday over performed because the models under played the mcs moving in from the north and were too slow with its south push. Subsidence in its wake is likely to leave today dry until the next meso feature can force something if at all this evening. Outside of slam dunk situations like stalled fronts, cutoff lows, tropical systems (even here is not always 100%) the day to day forecast in the summer is best left at a 20-30% chance of afternoon stormsWhat is the deal with the busted forecasts lately for storms and rain here?

The coast has the sea-breeze front but even it doesn't produce sometimes.It's summer man no good dynamics to force storms/ rain so you are depending on mesoscale features to force convection.

102/73 supposedly at RDU .99 at the house, see if we can touch 100 and look like DFW for a day
You must be looking at WeatherBug. It's only 97 where I'm at.102/73 supposedly at RDU .
Yeah, spot checking around central NC and most locations not close to RDU's 102. Maybe some kind of mesohigh or something...Im sus of 102 but looking at stations seems RDU very likely did hit 100 today.
I am too. That 102 would be a six degree jump since the 2:00 observation. I'm not saying it couldn't happen but that is unusual to say the least.Im sus of 102 but looking at stations seems RDU very likely did hit 100 today.
Got hit with jet blast? LolI am too. That 102 would be a six degree jump since the 2:00 observation. I'm not saying it couldn't happen but that is unusual to say the least.
I think 100 is plausible just looking around with Goldsboro at 98, Burlington 97, Smithfield 97 but 102 is weird . They did some work at the station a few weeks back been weird since then .I am too. That 102 would be a six degree jump since the 2:00 observation. I'm not saying it couldn't happen but that is unusual to say the least.
My iPhone app is saying 100 for RDU now which is live.Yeah, spot checking around central NC and most locations not close to RDU's 102. Maybe some kind of mesohigh or something...
