Don’t let the current lull in Atlantic activity fool you. Last year there was nothing for a month between Elsa and Fred during July 10-Aug 10...and then Ida. In 2019, nothing between Barry and Chantal during July 12-Aug 19… and then Dorian. We still expect a busy peak of season.

Great reminder here. This lull (which is not uncommon during July/early August) has happened many times before. And typically, like a light switch, things turn on in mid August as per climatology. But there is also a more favorable climate pattern evolving.

Are you heading to Europe over the next few days? If so be aware of some very hot weather as a heatwave builds across parts of the Continent 🌡️ Fresher weather will move into parts of the northwest for a time, but the heat will continue across the south

A warm front lifting through the area will produce widespread showers and storms today. Localized flooding, isolated tornadoes/waterspouts, and gusty winds may accompany the stronger storms.

☔️DROUGHT RELIEF: July is making up for a very dry June! 5.38" of our 6.55" summer total has fallen in July! That's 70% of the season's normal, & 1.78" above normal for July. Summer deficit is now down to just 1", drought conditions improving! #ncwx #scwx #drought

⚡️⛈️STORMY AGAIN: Slow, stalled, & stationary- scattered showers/storms flourish again late this afternoon/evening. Atmosphere is soaked & storms are slow➡️watch for heavy downpours/isolated flooding. Damaging winds & lightning threats in strong storms. #ncwx #scwx

⚠️🚗FOGGY START: Overnight rain has left some ponding, calms winds keep the moisture socked in. Areas of patchy & locally dense fog developing this morning. Take it easy on the roads! Storms return this afternoon/ evening. #ncwx #scwx

Match has been officially POSTPONED We will provide updates on new date when available. We appreciate everyone's cooperation tonight.
