July Surprise!

Yeah, today was yet another day of failures for the majority of CLT. Minus areas to the North and West. I miss the good ole days when that Lee Trough kicked in and we would have daily coverage of storms over the Piedmont by 4. Can we just all put the blame on 2020?
Might just be paying for the epic spring we had

I do t even mind being missed when I see an outflow spit out and heading my way. Today even those were moving away from me.
Picked up at least .5 here in the last 30 minutes
So I ask this question again, how do I get a thunderstorm here ?

Hmm... so the CPC thinks the 2nd half of the month may be above average for a few people.

Yeah it's been brutal then last 2 days with close misses all the way around.
That high point storm is a beast I see it’s big updraft from here
Just remember it could always be worse. You could be in my shoes. Not a drop in 10 days and as you know very little since June 1st here. And I fully expect to screw up Tuesday and Wednesday and then the dry sets in again.
Watch the NW flow pattern end up going into are south or north this weekend, this year sucks for MCSs

wake forest / Rolesville is the hotspot , if I get fringed that’s how. Just to my north ! During the 2011 outbreak I got lucky , those EF-3s rolled a few miles north . Driving around those backroads was crazy after that. Still a guy out there living in a trailer in Riley hill with no roof , lost it then.
Though for surprise tornados I’m the spot! 2010 and 2019! I’m one lucky guy. 2019 was razor thin! That EF-2 passed a football field away only. My road was crazy! Flipped over bus , massive oaks down through homes. Lots of roofs gone. I still have the pictures . If @Jimmy Hypocracy was able to tell when driving past , exit 432 on 264 the trees look a little funky as if someone cut through em. That was the tornado .
The 2010 tornado was an Ef-1 I got to watch as a funnel cloud over my neighborhood. I sat down on the front porch watching it touch down in the field across my house before it went into zebulon and tore a few trees by town hall and threw some shopping carts by the food lion .

Need to change the thread title to "No surprise July"........same story every day. Storms do fire they miss me or like today they come in this morning and drop pops and now Hrrr and 3k nam are bone dry.
Add to that my AC quit lastnight my morning mood is a mix of "eh screw it" and "seriously WTF"

God, it feels so much better today. I had been sweating like crazy for the last couple days until this morning where I woke up feeling cool and I still feel nice and cool.
How will this fail 
And I see how this fails

Today has that dark and dreary feeling outside. Wonder how much rain this swirl of a system will manage to produce. I have already a few quick showers this morning, and looks like that will continue.
Can't wait to screw this up
Yay the northern storm is falling apart 
Unbelievable! I am so done with this year. Might as move out west, but I am sure they will manage to get more rain than CLT with the upcoming monsoon season.

@NoSnowATL The Euro just dropped the bomb on you. If that ain’t a bullseye I don’t know what is. Lol
The max in that thing is almost 10 inches.

4000-5000jkgs of cape actually works for them unlike us yesterday
Maybe I need to complain more because as soon as I posted that, the skies opened up.
I failed as usual. Hey I did get to name a few raindrops.
