FoothillsNC Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Heavy rain over the last 2 hours. But I'm suprised how little I've got in the gauge, just over .50". Still may crack 1" before ending though. Looks like the southeast Apps are getting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoothillsNC Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 6.61 inches still pouring with flash flood warning still in effect. the southern escarpement is gettin pounded Wow, this was a great event for you guys. The models always underestimate how much in that area, even though they pegged that area overall as the max for the southern Apps. I have right at 1" now most of it came in the last hour. Great ponding and ditches are full of running water. The snow line is approaching rapidly now, as was always a chance. I think the higher elevations above 3000 feet will switch over to snow in the next 3 hours of TN, NC but the moisture is pulling out by that time so it won't last long. Had the 850 and surface low been just a few hours slower, it probably would have been a decent quick snow, still may be a couple of hours worth, which would give some accums. to the higher elevations. The RUC has te 850 low moving across HKY over the next few hours, so its going to be a race of moisture and cold. I think the GFS had the sfc low and 850 low in the area the RUC has it for several days. The Euro did terrible with this event, off and on runs and placement of qpf.

FoothillsNC Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 1"? My gauge is coming in right at 2.4", just bought this new one. yep. Mine's new too, and has been good on all the events so far. Its cocorahs, so once the rain lets up I'll check it again, its over an inch now. I just drove to Shelby and back home...the further north and west in the county, the more. Not sure where you're located. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoJoe Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Not a whole lot of rain, 1.12", but it has now turned to moderate snow. So far the warm ground temps are eating up though. As AD said, temp crashed here as well, went from 43 at 5:00 to 33.8 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaggy Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Glad you guys out west are getting hammered. Good to see areas that needed it so badly really cash in. I'm starting to doubt my areas chances at over an inch based on radar but i'm hoping some new batch of heavy rain fires up and heads this way.

FoothillsNC Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Yea mine has been accurate too. That's strange, anyways the yard is waterlogged with standing water everywhere. Oh yeah, there's yard flooding in the last 3 hours for sure. The drive to town was something with rivers flowing across the roads, the closer I got back to the southern end of the county was a little less. Still its a great rain event, judging by radar the nw part of the county has about 3" and the southeastern quadrant the least, which was expected. Where are you located? Its still pouring, the way the elements have been training, I'm just now probably going to catch up to the areas just to my north and west, since the elements are moving south to north, and the heaviest of the bands have been to my west, slowly creeping east. Polk and Rutherford really got nailed, again as expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burrel2 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I'm wondering when GSP is gonna issue a winter weather product for the mountains above 3500 feet. It looks to me like cataloochee already has 2 inches with mod to heavy snow right now. http://www.maggievalleyonline.com/webcams/catcam.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
