Local Yokel Wx Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Seems we all were awoken by the best alarm a wx weenie could have; thunder. The intital band dropped 0.77" at my house with the entire county over a 0.50" and one location at 0.94". Looking to pick up around 1 - 2" from this storm. Gotta love early spring rains (plus the possibility for high elevation snow tomorrow night) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few loud rumbles of thunder nearly made roll out of my bed around 5:30am haha. Total is up to .72" here it looks like and 4.10" for the month! The road here looked like a mini river with all the heavy rain falling. Plenty of close CG lightning strikes were around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNCCmetgrad Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Ended up with 1.06" yesterday. Puts me at 4.54 for the month which is slightly above average. The last time that happened was in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion_NC_WX Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Looking back at this month, it's been very wet. Infact going into today we have picked up 6.88 inches. We had that big storm on the 5th and 6th that dumped 3 inches of rain, then on the 9th and 10th another 2 inches. The middle part of the month was quiet and then here in the past week another surge of rainfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time that happened was in August. Ended up with .90" here yesterday, and for the month so far its 4.89" which is about average here, maybe above. March is the wettest month, but don't know right off hand what it is. Either way, you have to go back to August to find a month above normal here also. Its rare to get a month above normal here unless it's an El Nino pattern. Hopefully things are changing and a new overall pattern is emerging for us in the piedmont of the Carolinas.
