  1. Yep, it crested at just above 11.5 feet. If it rains like this tomorrow, which seems likely, it could get much much worse
  2. Catawba river rose 6 feet here in less than 4 hours.
  3. Almost to 5 inches, 3 of it in the last 6 hours..
  4. Now Flash Flood warning. Catawba river is going up very quickly
  5. Just got a flood warning, radar looks ugly
  6. We are getting pounded now. Up to 3 inches
  7. Its breezy today almost like a tropical system with sheets of rain
  8. I'm at about 2 inches now as well and its coming down pretty heavy
  9. We have been pretty lucky so far with only .60. The worst of it looks to be tonight until Wednesday.
  10. I think with the low level SE flow the Blue Ridge escarpment will get slammed. 6 to locally 10 inches in places like Brevard up to Caldwell County if the orientation sets up right. Luckily the antecedent conditions have been pretty dry and water levels are low or normal on local streams
  11. Euro shows a deluge and what would be big flooding in the foothills and western piedmont
  12. Yea the Euro has caved and shows up to 4 inches of rain on the escarpment next week.
  13. Euro still shows warm and dry with a slight cool down early next week
  14. It appears this will be the last freeze of the season for the majority of us
  15. That's good. It was 27 here with heavy frost in the foothills
  16. Temp dropped to 27 here in the foothills with a big frost. Hope everyone covered their plants
  17. Anyone else think we could be entering a dry pattern?
  18. Wind is ripping here, more windy than I thought it would be
  19. NWS calling for a low of 42 here tonight but its already 38. I'm guessing it will warm up as clouds move in but could be frost beforehand.
  20. I have waded South Toe and other mountain streams without waders in early May before. South Toe was frigid even before this cold snap last week, could make for good fishing deep into summer unless it dries out.
  21. Its 45 here at 1250 feet near Marion, and at over 6,000 feet at the Mt Mitchell weather station its 24.1 on May 6 at 8 p.m. Crazy.
  22. I'm shocked the temperature dropped so quickly here even in the foothills. It went from 68 earlier to 45 now with a stiff northwest breeze. Coldest May evening I can remember in ages.
  23. I caught over 20 trout on South Toe yesterday, the water was still a bit high and there were tons of people on the river. Had them for supper too, good eating!
  24. I was on South Toe this morning haha. I have used a 12 foot Field and Stream Eagle Talon from Dicks Sporting goods and it does well on the lakes and would do fine in class 1 and 2 water. Anything more than that would be tricky
