July Surprise!

Sunday evening starting to look good for I-77 west for some sort of storm cluster and Monday in ENC
 
Another evening of "big storms approach, then die out a mile from my location, leaving drizzle". Lame.
 
Good to see Wake County getting their daily storm there has to be some parts of the county with double digits over the past 45 days.

.04 today brings my 21 day total to .24. Epic. See no reason to believe I won't be about to get to 30 days with at least less than .5
 
This is the first Summer that I have not hated... probably because I'm not on the road in dress clothes visiting my offices and still working from home.

Id have to go back through my weather history on my station and confirm but right off the top of my head and unless something changes drastically mby is on pace for 4 of 5 to be normal or below based off of RDUs numbers, if I blend Fay/RDU it's likely worse. I will always be a proponent of more official obs stations, using single sparse points during convective season poorly represents the whole and so far over the last 14-20 days that's obvious with some places seeing 4+ inches while others like myself seeing .25 or less. Again without confirmation and from memory I believe it was summer 2015 or 16 where the rdu airport was way AN yet JJA imby ended up with 4 inches total with 2 months less than 1 inch. There really has seemed to be a shift west over the last decade of the piedmont trough favoring areas along and west of the US1 corridor with the typical sea breeze affecting 95 and east and the sandhills convection getting Cumberland, moore, hoke, scotland areas leaving a sliver between 95 and 1 in the meh zone. Ive been trying to pull some of the old station and mesonet data to get a better average for my location and I think the station in Dunn averages 6-7 for the summer months over the past 30 years

Perhaps there are 30 year rainfall averages based on radar returns ? I’ll go digging since I’m home early and not getting shitfaced with my buddies.

There should be something somewhere. Just looking at my numbers 15-17 were abysmal all 8 or less, 18 was a little less than I though but still 27 inches and last year was 14.5. This year I'm at 5.51 most of which fell during that ull in June and at basically the halfway point is slightly on the dry side. The best part about summer though is things can turn so quickly and you can double your summer total in 1 day.
 
Yeah... Tropical Storm Warnings for Jersey and NYC in JULY. White flags are up, I give up. In the words of Billy Joe Armstrong: "Wake Me Up When September Ends." Hopefully, we can get a good widespread MCS/Hurricanado all at once, by then. ?
 
I expect that map to look vastly different in 48 hours.
 
At work, can someone post nam/hrrr images for storms today. Tornadoes, large hail, etc squall winds
