Pattern June’s Drought Dialogues

[weather bubba]

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.

And just like that it is now 75F, very welcome drop!

73/71 here 10 mins away

@Avalanche how we doing today?

 

[ragtop50]

.9 of rain here, I'll take it ! Squash plants in garden are blown sideways, leaves everywhere from the hail but no real wind damage.

Lightning is far scarier than a tornado to me. If you see the flash, it's too late.

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 afterwards

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 strange

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.

 

[Avalanche]

Congrats to those who got rain and cooler temps. It certainly was earned

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

WOW. 30 degree spread in Greenville county!

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 distance

Finally hit 100 in the PWS today. 100.3 to be exact. Shortly after it started dumping. .85" in the gauge and the garden is happy.

 

[ChrisAMB]

Think my tempest is overcooking the dew a bit if it's not its 97.7/84.5 HI 131

Never know. Mine is calibrated every year and was showing 100/81 right before the anvil tops blotted out the sun.

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

Cooled off nicely after that biblical thunderstorm that started at 98 degrees

 

[BullCityWx]

Headed to Philly tomorrow for the annual American Library Conference. There’s gonna be a backdoor cold front on Friday. NAM keeps it in the 60s!

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

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.

A gust front (outflow boundary) moved SW into this area at midnight. Then at ~12:45AM, a small area of thunderstorms well to the E of the main area moved SW into this area producing only a few rumbles of thunder and light rain, which continues. Oddly enough, after blinking off and on ~20 times, my power finally went out ~1AM despite my not noticing any big gust of wind nor any CTG lightning nearby.

Edit: Power came back on just before 1:55AM.
