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.

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

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.

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.
 
Looks like another run at upper 90s to low 100s right after the 4th. That one is going to be the classic western heat release though so it's likely have a big EML and disturbed NW flow.
