There will come a point after the leaves fall that the Mountains may need the occasional shower. All of those trees that were blown over are a wildfire disaster waiting to happen once things dry out. The Spring fire season could be rough up there if another extended dry spell is in progress around that time.

January 2018, sub-zero low temps and frozen rivers in Goldsboro NC.

3.56 just west of Pikeville and counting. Several roads flooded and a couple of water rescues have occurred so far in the Goldsboro area.

17 degrees this morning in Pikeville NC.

Finally got a good one last night in Pikeville. 2.21" in less than 45 minutes along with gusty winds.

Same thing in Pikeville. O.12" for the last two weeks and 0.09" of that fell while were were trying to watch the towns fireworks.

Several reports of trees down on powerlines in Wayne County NC during the last hour.

2.27" in Pikeville last night for a monthly total of 5.40".

0.39" in Pikeville yesterday evening. The grass is turning green again.

Ended up with a 12 hour total of 1.81" which is the highest single day rainfall total in my back yard since July 27th of last year.

Finally got a good rain in my backyard in Pikeville NC. 1.30" and counting!

People in my area got 1-2" of rain, but only .14" in my yard. Better than nothing, but still a fail.

I'm cautiously optimistic about it.

Another .01" today. Two days of measurable rain in a row for a grand total of .03" in Pikeville NC!

I think the combination of the dry ground and pretty extensive cloud cover messed things up for us yesterday. I definitely had my hopes up since it was during the peak heat of the day. I think it's to the point now of needing a tropical system or a deep tropical fetch for few days to get things back to normal.
