July Surprise!

[RBR71]

Yeah I've noticed that both of my stations often spike dews early in the day particularly after a heavy rain/dew/watering then as that water is evaporated from the surface and mixing starts they fall back to surrounding obs. I have 1 at 8 ft and 1 at 6 feet not sure if that's too low and they need to be raised or what. Just using today as an example they maxed out near 80 on the dew but have fallen back to 73.

Maybe not official but that's what it feels like to you at that level, so it's accurate lol. Mine spikes like that also but it sure "feels" right and I'm not an official reporting station, so it works for me

Loud constant thunder with this updraft now

Completely agree. If my station was reading 80 all day long then I would say yep that's a problem

 

[SD]

This would be acceptable

Watch this thing from a little tower to a mature thunderstorm, cool stuff
Little Tower
Bigger tower
Mature

 

[ryan1234]

Pouring rain now! Very little thunder.

 

[Myfrotho704_]

Oh yeah like the looks of this, today has already surpassed several summer days this year lmfao

 

[Avalanche]

Looks like things are about to fire up around the Badin Lake/Uwharrie area.

very hard to see but looks like there’s a very weak boundary behind these storms, might help strengthen storms later

Let's hope so! That would definitely help my area of town!

I expect that map to look vastly different in 48 hours.

Some how worse

Where's all the rain we were supposed to get from the tropical system?

Huh? We were never going to see rain from this system. It's in the NE...

 

[Brick Tamland]

I swear I remember WRAL weather saying Monday we were going to get a lot of rain this week from the low coming out of the Gulf.

Yep -- they claimed "up to four inches"... which, to be fair, I guess .2" is >0 and <4", but... big wiff

Well, that was the first I heard about it. LOL. They BUSTED BIG!

 

[ryan1234]

Storms going severe in the higher terrain. Let's see if they can move east and as @Myfrotho704_ alluded to that boundary around CLT might support some stronger storms.

I'm glad someone else saw it, too. I didn't think I was imagining it.

I had a good storm last Sunday, so it's way too early to have another one here.

 

[ryan1234]

Something is forming overhead. Just heard a pretty big crackle of thunder.

 

[Myfrotho704_]

Nam turns those clusters to our west into a wannabe MCS lol

BRING IT! I want some late evening boomers!

 

[ryan1234]

You can kinda see these storms becoming better organized, just within the last 20 minutes.

 

[Myfrotho704_]

Looks like a thunderstorm is wanting to form above me lol

 

[Myfrotho704_]

there it is

 

[ryan1234]

Pouring once again!

Give me .5+ of rain and I'll be good and likely able to keep the yard green through the heat next week until we get into the bermuda ridge pattern

Next week looks brutal. I have gotten probably around an inch this week. I hope I get more before then. And I hope you're able to score too!

 

[Iceagewhereartthou]

All i can say is I'm not, repeat, NOT looking forward to the upcoming heat!

 

[ryan1234]

Sun is out again and MAN is it humid. Hopefully that the atmosphere a bit more conducive for some organized development.

 

[Blue_Ridge_Escarpment]

Really starting to fire storms over the mountains here.

 

[Myfrotho704_]

Man this is the best looking coverage of the summer possibly coming off the mountains, something we’ve dearly missed

 

[Myfrotho704_]

Oops, had to change that “year” it’s been forever

 

[Myfrotho704_]

Hrrr fires up more storms overnight with the trof axis moving thru

Okay, so if we can get two rounds of widespread decent storms, I will take next's week heat and do my best not to complain about it. LOL,

No kidding really starting to line up from Asheville to Boone maybe a little weak mcv near Bristol

 

[Myfrotho704_]

Holy cow that’s a lot of lightning
