FoothillsNC Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 wow, right now the entire northern half of GA is for the most part clear on radar. It should fill back in later today esp. when the ULL in texas scoops up that moisture from La/Ms. and takes it directly to your area and the Apps. The RUC has a pretty long duration of good UVV's tonight along the spine of the Apps all the way from ATL north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marion_NC_WX Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 up to 1.26 now with every drop soakin in. I would say your area is easily heading for 4-6 inches of rain from this system... So far I have only .34 from all the mist and light rain that has fallen. That should pick up through tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoJoe Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Late afternoon without a drop of rain here except for a little drizzle early this morning. Local radar looks horrible. Doubt we'll get more than a few tenths at most here. The sun is acually shining now . Hope some of you down south get some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lookout Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Late afternoon without a drop of rain here except for a little drizzle early this morning. Local radar looks horrible. Doubt we'll get more than a few tenths at most here. The sun is acually shining now . Hope some of you down south get some. lol I think you are going to get a little bit more than that. The main brunt of the system hasn't reached you yet so don't worry. 18z models still targeting your area with really heavy rains and radar seems to support that. A lot of Gulf Coast Convection currently going on...always gotta be concerned about that. Normally yes but keep in mind this low does not move from the gulf to the carolina coast as we normally see, in which cases it would be cause for concern. But Instead the low moves northeast across north ga into western nc. So that batch of heavy rain is going to translate northeast with the low and track right across the southern appalachians.

calculus1 Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 0.34 inches in the gauge since midnight. It's been a cool, drizzly day, and I love it! Too bad it couldn't be another 20 degrees cooler... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyefan1 Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 CAE... .NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING/... -- Changed Discussion --MOISTURE WILL BECOME DEEP TONIGHT AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING FRONTAL SYSTEM. EXPECT NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY ASSOCIATED WITH THE H85 JET LATE TONIGHT AND SUNDAY MORNING. SHEAR WILL BE STRONG. THE NAM INDICATES H85 WINDS NEAR 60 KNOTS. THE HIGH SHEAR SUPPORTS POSSIBLE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...ESPECIALLY DURING THE LATE MORNING AS THE MID-LEVEL DRY SLOT NEARS THE REGION. STILL...THE THREAT APPEARS LIMITED BECAUSE OF A LACK OF SIGNIFICANT SURFACE-BASED INSTABILITY. THE NAM LOWERS LI/S TO AROUND -1 OVER MAINLY THE SOUTH AND EAST PART DURING THE 12Z TO 18Z TIME FRAME. THE MODEL FORECAST OF JUST WEAK INSTABILITY APPEARS REASONABLE BECAUSE OF THE THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX THAT WAS TRACKING ALONG THE GULF COAST EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. EXPECT THESE THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA AND LIMIT THE TRANSPORT OF MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY NORTHWARD. THE LATEST NAM AND GFS PLUS SREF MEANS INDICATE LOWER QPF THAN PREVIOUS RUNS WITH AMOUNTS AROUND 0.75 OF AN INCH. THE WARMER TEMPERATURE GUIDANCE APPEARS BETTER TONIGHT BECAUSE OF CLOUDINESS AND MIXING.-- End Changed Discussion -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavarreDon Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 0.04" at the house so far. Had to work in Asheville today and it's a whole different world. Much lower cloud deck and a steady drizzle all day. I guess the SE wind is just pounding the moisture into the escarpment and dropping it. Have to agree with Weather Czar about the micro climates in the Mnts. Never a dull moment around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrips27 Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Been playing soccer in Greenville, SC all day. Steady rain most of the day, but just light at best. Will have to see if our game is still on for tomorrow morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Local Yokel Wx Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Visited the Pkwy today around 3pm... 52F when I left Cullowhee and it dropped to 38F at 6053' near Richland Balsam.

Snowless in Carrollton Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 This weather is so boring. We've had a little over an inch, and it's taken all day to get there. Highest rain rate I had was 0.95"/hr, and that didn't last long. Very unimpressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
