Today has featured some of the best wind gusts I've seen in a while. Still sitting on the rain I got last night, around .40" Hopefully that line doesn't zip through here when it finally does. I'm hoping to finally top the 1" mark from a single event. Congrats to all you guys in Georgia and NC mountains who've racked up.

Well naturally the line of storms is weakening right before getting here. So severe weather threat cancel here. :axe: Frustrating to see this line of storms hold together for hours, while I'm sitting here looking forward to getting it, only for it to do the old lookout screwdance. So it only looks like short periods of heavy rain and some boring moderate rain. Meh.

edit..funny enough they just issued a SVTW. I'm not impressed though and I'm not expecting anything severe here.

Wow has the rain really ramped up. We haven't had much in metro Asheville until around 3pm, but things have really ramped up... we are now well over 1" for the day and likely will be pushing near 2" before midnight tonight. Check out the radar... quite a site to see.

Thanks for the great radar, Phil. Really coming down now in the Rutherford Mountains, and I passed the 4 inch mark about an hour ago. 55 degrees, and another 2 or 3 inches isn't out of the question. Everyplace has standing water, and the sump pump may get some rare activity soon....

lol I was looking forward to some strong storms. So plain old rain is somewhat of a let down.

Lol..."bored by rain"...you must have been living fat this year to hear that come out of the infamous rain shield area. I expect we need to save your post and play it back to you...over and over..as non-events warrant :) T

may be seeing things but there may be a meso low starting to spin just southwest of Anderson. The winds are making a huge fuss tonight, I just left the porch chairs lie where they are for now.

He said something about the models showing a band of snow forming, dropping out of Tennessee and rotating across Georgia and heading NE. Same thing?

Dude, Ken uses that over lay "future cast" and talks about it like it's a crystal ball.

I mean, he may make a liar out of me, but I think its about as reliable as the GFS model that projects precip type and has pixels the size of a large Rhode Island. :lol:

No doubt that dry air is going to be frigid and squeeze out every drop of moisture, but what he was showing looked like snow showers.:pimp:

Lol...he probably got it from that useless in house model a lot of stations have. Isn't this the guy that basically wrote off the 2/12 event for ATL right before it happened? What a change of tune...

From the AJC7:10 p.m.: Officials report that all searches have been completed for the neighborhood, with no reports of injuries or fatalities. Fifty-six homes and one business were damaged. Power and gas have been shut off, so residents must seek alternate shelter for the night, Gwinnett County fire Capt. Tommy Rutledge said.

think I'm going to call it a night, and a month. Good riddance to November (and met. Fall) . Holes are already showing up in north Ga, and the heavy echoes are vanishing rapidly, plus the overall width of the line is shrinking pretty rapidly . I was afraid that once the momentum gathers east of the mountains, the line would break up some and speed up. Even though the actual severe squall line is getting better organized, the rain part (part i need) is going to do the vanishing act yet again. Don't think I had even 3" for the entire three month period. Unbelievable.
