My residence near Lake Wheeler was finally in the bullseye yesterday. After getting 1.75 inches yesterday, another 1.16 was added to the rain gauge overnight for a total of 2.91 inches during the past twenty-four hours. If the rain can keep falling this week like this, it will go a long way towards replenishing the water tables in my neighborhood and erase the drought for the near term at least.

The op euro is probably too high but I'm impressed by the 6 inch eps mean across much of the state.

I get it that the euro and it's ensembles look so juicy and we all need that to be right. However I look at the 3k nam and I'm seeing that familiar trend of backing off of my totals. The 3k says my 80% pops on Thursday are gonna need revising. This is through 60hrs.Screenshot_20260721_064006_Chrome.jpg

My concern would be this verifying south of models not north. The initial big convective band should push out a nice OFB and help the front get farther south than modeled, we do this every time. I would think your area would be more likely to over perform than under.

I'm a big fan of seasonal trends and this year has been to reduce pops and totals as we approach go time. That has to break at some point and maybe this is the one.
 
Rare D3 moderate risk of excessive rainfall for ENC from the WPC, with discussion not ruling out the potential for a further upgrade.

...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK FOR EXCESSIVE RAINFALL OVER PORTIONS
NORTH CAROLINA...

...Southeast...

21Z update... The heavy rainfall mentioned for the Day 2 period
will persist across North Carolina and surrounding locations as the
tropical moisture continues to interact with the stalled frontal
boundary. Training/repeating of storms will focus an additional 2
to 4+ inches over North Carolina and portions of southern/southeast
Virgina bringing the 48-hr forecast of 4 to 9+ inches for the
region. There will likely be a fair amount of overlap in the QPF
footprint from the D2 period, which will already be well saturated
prior to this period. A Moderate was also raised central and
east/northeast North Carolina as scattered to widespread instances
of flash flooding is expected.

The stalled out front that has remained across the Southeast will
continue to plague the area with very heavy rainfall, as the
continuous stream of Gulf moisture from the Gulf funnels
northeastward along the front. Yet another day of heavy rain is
expected to impact the Carolinas as a result. The front may drift
ever so slightly further south and east which should clear all but
the Hampton Roads area of far southeast Virginia from the heavy
rainfall threat by Thursday, but for much of eastern North
Carolina, much of South Carolina, and portions of northern Georgia,
generally from Atlanta east, the heavy rainfall threat will
continue through Thursday. Once again, potential for very heavy
rainfall totals in many areas as are expected to see heavy rain
from Wednesday could mean further upgrades to the risks may be
needed, especially across eastern North Carolina. Ultimately, where
the heaviest rain falls both today and Wednesday should dictate if
further upgrades will be needed.
