Just wish that system off the SE coast would come into the Cape Fear area. Our (local) area is under strict watering restrictions – no outside irrigation of any kind is permitted.
The storm off the SE coast is getting its act together. Winds at KILM (Wilmington NC) are steady at 15 gusting to 35 from the East. Offshore seas running 5 feet.
Is that a derecho flying thru the midwest/Kentucky?
Heavy rain, frequent lightning and pea size hail in Leland, NC. Several strikes too close to the homestead.
On a getaway in Palm Desert – and we want to get away from this weather! NW winds howling 20-30 w/ gusts to 40, blowing sand and dust reducing vsb and closing some roads. Temp a “balmy” 66 (was 99 earlier this week.). It’s not healthy to be outside today. This all thanks to the system over NV which we encounter tomorrow leaving this place…Read More
Last day for the thaw in sunny SE NC. 65 this morning heading to 70 today, but won’t see the 60’s for sometime after today.
Listening to JB’s summary today, he addressed the anomalies associated with this El Nino. The waters off the northern Australian coast are unusually warm (Darwin is used with the SOI measurement) which has created unexpected pressure differences throwing the SOI values to neutral. The reason for the warmer waters may be due to undersea…Read More
El Nino was over during the fall
Interesting
Leland, NC (Wilmington) OVC, KILM: Wnd S23 G 41, 29.59 F – Tornado Watch until 2100. We have a long way to go before the squall line gets through
Do you think the colder forecast for eastern Canada has anything to do with expected ‘Strat’ warming event that is expected/forecast in January? Perhaps that event might help explain the colder temps in Canada by February given the delayed reaction after a strat warming.
10 am: 1 inch in my rain bucket since the onset at about 5 am. Location: Wilmington, NC
32 degrees in Wilmington NC; first killing frost for most of us in this area.
Audio on your latest videos is weak but readable.
Finally some drought easing rain for the Carolina’s. It’s been weeks …
Is it me, or there’s no audio for today’s videos?
Perhaps a final note on Idalia – NWS ILM determined there were 4 tornadoes on the ground associated with landfall. 2 were F0 and 2 were F1. No real damage, but we were under tornado warning for several hours. Tornadoes were radar indicated but have been proved otherwise.
Seeing news that the rains in Nevada have disrupted the Burning Man festival. Roads in and out are closed from mud. Porta potties can’t get serviced! 1000’s are trapped until conditions improve.
First outer rain band coming into SE NC now
fun about to begin
SPC upped the risk level in VA area to Moderate
Your comment that North Carolina shouldn’t be too concerned about heavy rains from whatever forms off the coast this weekend is concerning. Last weekend the Wilmington NC area had 9 inches of rain in a 2-3 hour period which flooded many neighborhoods (including mine.) It was very reminiscent of Florence flooding. To be sure, last weekend was a…Read More
Torrential rains in SE North Carolina this morning. Reminds me of Florence …
Any flooding problems
Street flooding everywhere. Had to institute a NO WAKE zone on our street.
talked to my brother who lives in Leland.. said the flooding was terrible.. has never seen it that bad where he is
I too live in Leland. It got pretty deep in a few streets and had to turn back. Better now in some places.
