Pattern July Fry and Dry

I was wondering if the area of precipitation on the backside of the trough passage would give me some rain. It exceeded expectations putting 1.83 inches of rain in the gauge with light rain still falling. Now I feel better about surviving the dry spell for the next several days that is coming up.

Lol Gemini, saying my post on when NWS Raleigh went down a couple of weeks ago
AI Overview

Y'all had to have gotten something earlier didn't you?

I was getting nervous down our way but it filled in nicely and looks like more headed our way. 1.89" today so far.

Nope all the earlier storms were literally a couple miles to my north. Not sure if it was seabreeze related but whatever boundary was north of me was like a wall. Finally got into some rain but never anything heavy.

Lots of heavy thunderstorms in the area, including right here on one of the islands that I’m visiting. Plentiful CTG lightning. Storming at my place, too, per radar. First rain of significance since way back on 6/18!

Edit: My home ended up with ~0.9” on July 3rd, mainly from this thunderstorm between 1 and 2 PM.

With the NWS forecasts over the past 4 months I want to take what they give, cut it in half and then cut that by 1/2. I get it’s localized but dang!

Looks like the Goose got put back in the fridge today. I thought I disliked convection back when I worked at NWS RAH and had to answer the phones for all the LSRs, but it seems like you got me beat by a lot ;).

Upper level maps in summer remind me of just how boring the weather is during this time of the year. Nothing that exciting about subtropical ridges dominating the CONUS. I mean, sure you can get northwest flow from a well placed western/central ridge. but you just know that means a heat release is coming to set everything ablaze eventually. Countdown to fall continues....
 
The easterly fetch off the Atlantic this morning is doing a good job of pushing all the smoke/bad air quality well inland. The first few frames on GOES this morning show the air quality is pretty bad in the SE/Mid Atlantic.

We have ponds that have been nearly dry since the spring of 2021 aside from a week-ish after tropical system flooding. The water table had gotten so low they wouldn't even fill up after heavy rains. Now we're looking at possibly our third straight month of doubling our average rainfall and they're finally coming up.
 
Early afternoon popup thunderstorms along the sea breeze in this area. I just started getting light to moderate rain a few minutes ago.
