It didn’t hit me so I know it was a very small cell. Bet it put down some quick rain though

Yep but it just wont happen again, I have never seen it so hard to sustain storms around here in the summer. Sure we have had some rainy days but its just seems different this year with the seemingly great setups just not doing nearly what they should.
Rainy days, what's that?
Skipped right over me

The wilmington airport has made incredible progress since the 2nd week of July. Largely aided by a 2 day period with over 7 inches. They've added 20 inches to three totals. I'm roughly 5 miles west of them and missed those big totals. I've gotten plenty but not nearly as much as they have.
To put the drought in perspective they've added 20 inches and still 5 inches behind for the year. That's how bad off we were.

I use to lose my mind when I heard some old timer say dumb stuff like "thunderstorms don't like crossing the tar river".
Now I find myself saying dumb stuff like storms sure do like to stay over and east of the river as I sit here this morning watching yet another storm drop 2 inches of rain 2 miles east of me

Looks like it is unzipping west on a old boundry cool to watch on radar.
That stuff down to my SE gonna make a run up this way later, going to be close. Most short term models have it either stopping just south or getting just barely here. I need that NW trend, bad
Dumped 1.4 out of gauge from last night. Over 4.0 for August. Future radar shows counter clockwise flow today
Yea radar is…interesting. We got slight but definite WNW movement this side of 95, but coastal areas near the sounds moving NE and noticeably quicker.
Welp another goose egg. Gonna be the driest August I can remember

Amazing how you can have drought/dry area and have localized flooding in the same region. Thats how it is here
If we want to hold hope for the most faint opportunity tomorrow looks like a less impressive version of today
Had a SWS for dense fog this morning, with bright sunshine, it can't even fog around here.
Man, we can’t get rain, storms, or fog to verify. Need to turn that around in the next 5-6 months when we’re trying to get winter products to verify.
Assuming the models are directionally correct wouldn't be too surprising to see a mcs type wind event sometime between Friday and Sunday approaching from the N or NW. Biggest question marks I see right now would be low level moisture recovery after the heat ridge starts to weaken and time of arrival
So looks like gonna end August with .66. I can't find any info anywhere of a drier August here

We had a good August. All this running water gets the Gators excited. This was one that was filmed at Greenfield lake in Wilmington this weekend. Ive got pictures of him before. Gators really like to move around when the waters are up.
That's nice
The first long duration rain from this nino is going to be oddly enjoyable.

Headed to the sound/river for a week Sept 14th, need it to not be 90-100 every day.....
Last day of the month trolling
.01 lol
if you aint watering you aint mowing
Saturday looks good for severe weather across the state, Friday does if something can really get going over the Mid Atlantic and survive into a slightly more hostile environment. I get the feeling though the actual outcome is going to be big MCS type system across Va that exits near Moyock and Va Beach, outflow pushes to the SC border, nothing on Saturday
Already hotter today than any day in August, not that August was cool, just today sucks even worse
