Downtown Asheville rain gauge already over 2 inches.

Thoughts and prayers for all that we somehow get through this unscathed. A forecast bust seems all but impossible now. So, l hope for the best for all my weather board friends. Already have heavy rain and thunder.

Well a tropical storm watch for Transylvania county. That’s a new one. Lol

Just getting ready to post that. This is the one for Buncombe.

The first person who says after the fact that "the NWS didn't even say it was going to rain" needs to be told what an  idiot that they are. It will happen. It does every time.

The NWS pulled no punches talking about how dangerous it is. Now, it is up to the public to listen and use common sense.

Insane. And in such a short period of time. This one might be for the books. 

We can hope not, but I'm afraid that you are correct.

I see that purple starting to creep into the picture. Not good at all. 

No, absolutely not! You are going to see monumental totals.

I picked up 1.95” last night in two different cells. Heavy rain!

Wow! I had an inch yesterday. It is not looking good.

Yeah as shown currently this is going to be a historical event.. Not hyping but just looking at the data.  Again any sudden change with this thing and that could greatly impact our area but so far all models have us as ground zero.

They definitely do. It is not hype at all. It is a scary scenario.

I bet these will be upped as well. This is still extremely impressive.  Also if the thing ends up strengthening a good bit that will really put us under the gun for some extreme weather. 

I wish it would all be as wrong as some of the snow forecasts of the past.  This sounds like misery ahead. Chain sawing trees and being without power don't top my list of favorite things to do.

Absolutely hammering here. Over an inch of rain and still pouring. Definitely did not need this.

Finally getting some nice pop up storms.

There he is. When you're gone, I know nothing is going on! Plenty of thunder here, but no rain so far. 

The airport has 2.95 inches of rain in the last 3 hours, and it is still raining!

One heck of a storm here in Candler. Severe thunderstorm warning Buncombe. Tornado warning Eastern Buncombe.

Surprised it’s so quiet in here! The GFS laid the hammer for the central mts and points north Friday. Verbatim it was a nice thumping of wet snow, 3-7 inches. 

Saw that. Looks higher elevation, but it has some time.

The warmth we have experienced is pretty crazy so far this month. What's our departures currently? Plus 6 or 8? The only cold place in the country currently is the inner mountain west which have been getting hammered by snow for weeks now. 

The airport is 6.8 above without even adding in today's +14. 

GFS throws us a bone next Tuesday. It's probably gone at 18z. Like Met has said, there is at least a chance coming up.

I'm blaming you lol

Ha! Ha! I'll take responsibility.

I noticed that on this date in 1969, Asheville had 6.4 inches of snow.

Nah, we need to dry out, forget the wet lol

Ha! Ha! I have a well. It always makes me nervous when it gets dry. But, otherwise, I agree with you,lol.

February is likely going to end up below average with rain compared to a very wet January. Water levels are at mid summer levels

February has sucked all the way around. Hopefully, March is wet. That, at least, looks possible.

Looks like the GFS backed way off any CAD related mixed precip. Definitely the winter theme. Probably a decent weekend in the 60s for most! 

Warm it up! Hopefully, we keep the rain train. It's been a little dry lately.
