POWERSTROKE Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Eastern Carolinas , esp. NC may bank tomorrow. The front is slow moving. are we looking at heavy rain and storms here in the piedmont today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEGa Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 70% did not help here, not enough to totally wet the deck. Really glad I have rain barrels which will get emptied today. Sigh -it didn't here either. A couple of storms were close and last night looked like a really good one was just a county away and closing in. Obviously it fizzled very quickly. Nothing here but a barely damp deck as well. Total bust yet again - this is ridiculous lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevinhmd Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I managed a meager 0.3" from a quickly moving shower last night. I was ecstatic during the brief heavy downpour though! Can't believe I was so excited about an amount like that, but that's what this summer has done to a lot of us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Local Yokel Wx Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Managed 0.66" at the house from the frontal passage overnight and roughly an inch for the county (Sylva picked up 1.57"). Now it is beginning to feel great outside with temps only around 80 at the moment. Looking forward to lows in the mid - upper 50's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowless in Carrollton Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 FFC really confuses me sometimes. This is what they said this afternoon. GUIDANCE PROGGING MUCH LOWER DEWPOINTS FILTERING IN...ALREADY SEEING SOME MID-60S DEWPOINTS IN NORTHWEST GEORGIA Yet dp's in Atlanta are already near 60. So I guess the further north you go the higher the dp is ? There's even mid 60's dp well into central ga, so i'm not sure what point they're trying to make by saying mid 60s dp's are entering NW GA.

WidreMann Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I should have known when the NWS kept POPs at 60%+ and issued a severe t-storm watch that we wouldn't get anything but mostly cloudy and humid. You can always tell in the morning based on the look of the sky and the radar patterns. This day had the look of no rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Here in Savannah, we received still another cooling and much appreciated heavy tstorm. Today's was earlier than recent ones....~ 2:30-3:30 PM. Nearby CTG lighning was intense. The most impressive thing was the heavy rainfall rates for part of this period. I very roughly estimate 0.75" rainfall. This is about the 6th-7th day of tstorms in the last 8-10 days. I know the reason for all of the good rains here. I had been threatening to break out the sprinklers after a rather lengthy period of little rain. Our wet streak started the next day. Edit: added another 0.25" or so from a 2nd quick, but heavy tstorm at 4:45 PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marion_NC_WX Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Several nice discrete cells have popped up just east of the mountains over the past hour. The one near Winston with a tornado warning, another cell on I-40 between Morganton and Hickory which I think could be another canidate for a instant spin-up...then another cluster in Alexander County.

jburns Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 LOL WFMY Greensboro is catching hell for cutting off the PGA Championship. To make matters worse the Sunday weather lady is totally clueless and talking constantly. She actually just said you might want to put a book over your neck because that is the most vulnerable part of your body. She then showed the storm attributes on the radar and it showed Tornado 0.0. They have now put the golf back on in a window without sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
