September Sizzling Summer Segway

Yesterday, RAH had rain here in the forecast all day today and most of tomorrow. Now they have rain here tonight and decreasing clouds tomorrow. The sun is out now. ?‍♂️

Picked up 1.01" last night which was mostly from the one big storm. Lots of lightning and maybe a little hail but I was too lazy to get up. The Tempest said "Extreme Rain" which was the first time I saw that since I got it. Currently 57 with a good breeze.

I always like it when that thing says Extreme Rain. Last time I saw that reading, this is what I saw when I looked outside:

Excuse the sideways view.
 
We would get a snowcane if that happens. lol

What if these 2 collided

I'm interested to see what happens early on as things get popping off to the west. There is at least a chance of a couple of cells to try to get some supercell characteristics before things try to congeal a little more moving east

Rah tends to agree

...although the breaks in the overcast across the Piedmont and an indication of backing surface winds suggests the threat of stronger storms may be increasing slightly.
 
I think they upgrade imo to slight per the latest CAMs, all of them show a line of strong storms with kinks/breaks in them
 
1.65" of rain so far for the past 24 hours, almost 10" for the month, and 72" for the year.

Currently 56.5F

I'm still up in the air for our area. I feel like this will line out to the west and throw an outflow out ahead and the corridor between US1 and I95 might be kinda meh before it gets reinvigorated closer to the coast in the better instability. If it doesn't and we start getting segments and bows then the game changes quickly as we could get a few big wind gusts and some supercell structures to the tail end cells
 
Still Marginal and they took away the 2% tor area for most of NC. I can't say I'm surprised. The nam 3km looked like trash and the HRRR didn't look much better, at least to my untrained eye.
 
Sun coming out western Yadkin near i77 ahead of the line. Seems the line is strengthening and slowing during peak heating of the day...could see a severe storm for Yadkin/Forsyth/Davie

Both models still send a broken squall line through the area with an inch or two of rain. I imagine there will be a severe report or two, but there likely won't be much in the way of organized severe weather.
 
55 western Wilkes and 75 eastern Wilkes. Storm in middle. Upper 40s black Mtn.
 
A/c came on yesterday for the first time in a couple of weeks. Temp has dropped from 70 to 59 over past couple of hours, feels chilly!
 
That front was serious. at Noon we were at 72 and by 1 it dropped to 62. Already at 58. Quite cool too. I actually love daytime cold fronts where you start in the upper 60's and 70's at 7 am and by noon you're down to the 50's when the front passes through. Seen days where at 7 am it's 75, by noon it's 64, and by 5 pm it's in the low 50's.

One of the most underrated weather phenomena in our region. Love me a good strong daytime frontal passage

I like the ones where you wake up in January because of a thunder boom with temps in the 60s, and by the next afternoon its 25F with 30 MPH winds and flurries. Those were the days.

I thoroughly enjoy a good front ! I recall one in early March 2015 or 14 where you had 80s just miles from 40s and 50s in NC ! I remember how humid it was during the day and warm , temps if I recall correctly approached or exceeded 80 then by the time I left school I was standing in the carpool line with temps in the upper 30s perhaps.

I am sooooo glad to not have any mountains to block cold air transport! I’ll miss the wedge ice storms we used to get every 5 years or so, but won’t miss the 51 degree temps when out ‘ snowstorm’ is supposed to be starting as a ‘ bit ‘ of rain!
 
Left work at 4:30 in Greensboro and hadn't started raining yet. It was 77 and very muggy / gross kinda feeling.

Arrived at the kids preschool at 5:10 and ~20 miles west. It was 58 and cold! Not often you drive through the front in a matter of 40 minutes!!

Also 0.47" and still light rain.

That front meant business here with a very heavy line of showers with close to 50 mph wind gusts!. Interestingly, no thunder/lightning detected! Probably got a quick inch of rain to go with the ~6" of rain from 2 other days for a whopping ~7" the last week or so!! Looks like 10"+ in Sept (with ~1.75" from Sally)!
 
Walking outside while that frontal passage was still in the process of passing was an interesting experience.

Definitely felt a lot cooler in the middle of the afternoon. Earlier today it was hot (well, felt hot because we haven't had mid 80s too much of late) and felt stuffy.

I thought all the action was south of the triangle ?‍♂️

They get so much action down there! I got 1.14" of action out of this mess so far, with more action to come...at least according to my Twitter account.
