I got home from work and have no power. No wind damage was noticed in my neighborhood so the problem must be damage in another area. I have .71 inches of rain in the gauge. I’m thankful this happened after we got some rain to cool things off.
73/71 here 10 mins awayAnd just like that it is now 75F, very welcome drop!
My grandmother was cutting my aunts stove off while babysitting my two cousins, lightning struck the oven and she lived but her health deteriorated quickly afterwardsLightning is far scarier than a tornado to me. If you see the flash, it's too late.
Man I’ve missed out on the action. At least it’s cloudy thus cooler.
I did finally get .3 but it had me under bright reds and it was Barely raining. Very strangeMan I’ve missed out on the action. At least it’s cloudy thus cooler.
Agree. I was even marginally under the cauliflower head of that first storm and nothing. Same thing radar had me under the yellow too. Those storms we had two weeks ago I got dumped on. I guess it was my turn to give back to the people.I did finally get .3 but it had me under bright reds and it was Barely raining. Very strange
Yeah was weird but man it feels nice out there now. Some more showers headed our way and I've been seeing some good CGs off in the distanceAgree.

Never know. Mine is calibrated every year and was showing 100/81 right before the anvil tops blotted out the sun.Think my tempest is overcooking the dew a bit if it's not its 97.7/84.5 HI 131
If 80 were to be the 24 hour low for today at RDU and GSO, it would tie the all-time high record low for any date for both locations. It would also obliterate the previous high June low for GSO of 77.
However, any thunderstorms today or this evening should easily get it below 80, even if they’re only in the general vicinity and not right at these locations. Also, per RDU:
THE ALL-TIME RDU RECORD WARMEST OVERNIGHT LOW IS 80 DEGREES, AND THERE IS SOME MODEL GUIDANCE THAT IS SUGGESTING TEMPERATURES MAY REMAIN ABOVE THE MARK OVERNIGHT. HOWEVER, EVEN IF
TEMPERATURES DO REMAIN THAT WARM OVERNIGHT, THE CURRENT FORECAST
DOES PREDICT THAT TEMPERATURES WEDNESDAY EVENING WOULD LIKELY FALL
BELOW 80 BEFORE MIDNIGHT. EXPECT WIDESPREAD LOWS ONCE AGAIN IN THE
70S.uu
It turned out that it did drop to 79 between hourlies at RDU last evening. So yesterday’s low was 79. But that was still a record high low for the date beating the old record of 77.Well, PM thunderstorms did bring down RDU’s temp. sharply from 99 to 81 in the evening. However, the temp then stabilized. Based on hourlies, alone, the evening lowest was 80. But I have to see whether or not it slipped under 80 between the hourlies this evening. If not, the 6/25 low will turn out to be 80, which would tie the warmest low at RDU on any date in recorded history.

Dang @Shaggy, I got 2/3 of your total in May, alone.Droughts been with us for over a year now. View attachment 173266
This could mean that the very worst of the heat stays to the west of us at least for now. I would not want to be in t5he 4 corners though.
I like seeing the above precip for the great plains. This is the critical growth period for wheat, and corn farther east.

I get storm anxiety and all and I grew up close to Erwin and went to Triton. Maybe see a doc and get some meds to help!
