This is a good page WRAL put together to track rainfall at RDU: https://www.wral.com/weather/page/1934052/ Going back 6 months you can see all the months under 1” total for the month. Insane deficits and we’re going the wrong direction still
-
Before the next rain some areas in northern piedmont will likely move into exceptional category
-
Latest drought monitor shows some improvement around the Charlotte area, SC and Georgia. Not much movement but probably the first time it’s trended positively in 6 months. This was expected as those are the areas that capitalized on the rainfall earlier this month.
-
Didn’t you just get like a foot of rain
-
Per radar estimates some areas in the exceptional drought north of Jacksonville got 4-7”+ from this system too but like you said a large area of 1-3” was seen across that area south of you in the worst of the worst drought area
-
I don’t see another chance for widespread rain until the 8-9 day timeframe which would ensure another 2+ week stretch here without measurable rain. After finishing April with well under 1” of rain (our 4th time in last 8 months) we will be sitting under 1” going into the last week of May! While I have certainly enjoyed the cooler weather, that pattern change in central NC did absolutely nothing to alleviate drought conditions here.
-
Southern Georgia and northern Florida definitely got a beneficial system.
-
41.9 for the low, impressive amount of mid 30s in northern piedmont including my farm in Louisburg at 35.5! Won’t see these temps again till next fall
-
Rain chances Wednesday (90% NWS yesterday) have completely evaporated. Yet another system drying up east of mountains. I said 1” for the month was a lock but have definitely jinxed it in Raleigh area, it looks dry as a bone going forward!
-
48 at 9:40 on May 11… pretty chilly!
-
Multiple pics of a big waterspout between Morehead city and harkers island
-
Came through with a bite in Raleigh. Immediate wind change to north and gusts that definitely topped 30
-
For NC piedmont and foothills it’s a matter of when not if we slip into exceptional drought. Long range looks dry and hot and obviously we missed most of the rain from last couple weeks.
-
Hot and dry. That’s how long range looks
-
Actually might move over ocracoke. Surprised there isn’t a tornado warning
-
Very strong waterspout showing up on radar off ocracoke right now.
-
Yea Triangle to Triad (<1.5” from the past two week “wet” period) are absolutely not out of the woods
-
RDU only recorded 0.49” with the system and even that paltry total was the wettest day there since March 16
-
We finished with 0.71” from the event which brought the mtd total to 0.85” which now exceeds the entire month of April at both my location and RDU, if that puts into context how dry last month was. It now looks likely given a few more rain chances we will break 1” of rain for the month, which normally wouldn’t excite me but with the way it’s been that is a serious milestone
-
Man Greenville to Charlotte got smoked today
-
Haha I’ll blame something. Southern wake got over 1.5” radar estimate. This is still our biggest rain in forever
-
Another underperformer in Raleigh, though we’re at 0.68” including yesterday’s shower. Good rain but was pretty certain we’d get at least an inch given forecasts and models. MTD 0.82” which equals our entire month of April rainfall here. It’s still raining a little so these are not final totals
-
We’re not going to break 3/4” here so today’s rain while helpful will not get near close enough to alleviate the drought. Realistically we need what we got today twice a week to get back on track
-
Good rainfall rates appear to be filling in west of here
-
Drought canceled
