jburns Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 With your move to Columbia, it looks like there are now only 4 people remaining who are native to the Charlotte Metro area! If I was native I'd open a casino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaur Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 We had a nice batch of light rain/drizzle/sprinkles move through earlier and have another batch coming through now. The wedge is screwing us here for precip... That being said, I'm excited about seeing an unsettled next couple of days, but the rain amounts, at least locally, won't be all that impressive. Also, that cut-off low will just sit there in the Ohio River Valley for a few days... So the "cooler" air I was hoping for this weekend doesn't look like it's going to come to fruition with westerly flow aloft. Oh well! Fall begins Friday! http://davidwarrenreese.blogspot.com/ It was kind of exciting to hear you and Cheez had experienced rain, but when I checked my gauges all I found was evidence of a months worth of dust drizzle, and perhaps one dust shower. I did spot a camel out beyond the back fence though... he looked thirsty T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrips27 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Showers/ Storms developing in South Georgia. Looks like they are heading north towards... dare I say it?...Tony? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyefan1 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I hadnt thought of that... and I stand corrected, 1.91" of Rain at KCUB this morning. 19 drops here....what a difference a few miles makes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoothillsNC Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 the 12Z ECMWF gives all the Carolinas atleast one inch of rain, and by the time the upper low is gone completely, many get 2" and the coast is favored for a good bit more. Right now I'm not real impressed for my area to get much rain out of this setup so far. I think Friday morning will feature a decent amount of coverage , and maybe another spoke of vort will rotate through either over the weekend or early next week with another round of rain. Otherwise, pretty good rain in training over Alabama and scattered in GA and the central Carolinas, heavily favored though for the coast. The pockets of rain are so scattered it makes it hard for the models to get the areas right. I wouldn't be surprised to see a relative minimum though imby This makes 5 straight days of clouds, just a few drops of rain today though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoothillsNC Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Hickory, NC finally topped 70 degrees, first time since late Thursday, as did my area. Western NC has been dammed up with low clouds and east or northeast winds since late Thursday. Its interesting the highs have been consistently lower than forecast since then as well, ahhh the power of damming. If this area would have seen rain last Friday with the wetbulbs in the upper 40's that would have been something. So the GFS missed the rain (no suprise there) but the temps and wetbulbs were extremely accurate again, from about 5 days out. I think that model has performed very well in some setups, but obviously in the hard core Winter cold patterns its too supressed at times. Like any weather model, you have to know when to buy it , and when not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burrel2 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Our 60 day rainfall total here at the farm is 2.78 inches and 1.5 inches of that came on August 12th. To say it's getting pretty dry here is an understatement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaur Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Well, Mr. Kid, they do seem to be expanding and coming up the right way. Let's hope your observations give me good luck. That poor camel needs some rain, lol. And you need some rain on your break! Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalicwx366 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Had about 2-3 inches of rain today and a Tornado Warning earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaur Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I've had enough rain to wet the ground where the trees aren't, and, I'm hearing thunder off to the south. Thanks, Justin! Oft times an observation like you dared will be the kiss of death, but you've got the magic I hope this winter you'll observe sleet and snow heading my way many times T Edit: Well, I lucked out with this one. It has been training light showers all night (it's nearly 2 now) with thunder all around. When I check at 11pm I had a quarter of an inch, so it isn't a great pour, but still much appreciated. I know I'll wake up to a wet ground, which will be great for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oconeexman Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Definitely a different feel outside tonight than the last week. It's dead still and muggy feeling.

Local Yokel Wx Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Been raining on and off after midnight. Hard to sleep when your not used to the noise of falling rain! 0.28" and counting (just from 7pm Tuesday till now). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 It's been raining since 5 AM. 0.33 inches so far. It looks like radar has the rain training over my area for the next little while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Local Yokel Wx Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Our county (Jackson County, SW NC Mtns) hit the jackpot it seems like. All locations have surpassed a half inch and some are closing in on one inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandymanColumbusGA Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Some of my viewing area hit the jackpot! Others.... left out in the warmth. The map attached from the NWS shows the wide swath of 3+ inches of rain! I can confirm this from a few viewer reports too. I was actually awoken by the heavy rain a few different times so that makes for a sleepy David this AM. Notice how areas to the southeast of Columbus, also in my viewing area, were left high and dry... Poor folks! That's where a majority of the farmers live and work.

Solak Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Cashed in on .42" overnight in a very heavy shower. Much needed, and it was heavy enough to wet the ground in the woodland gardens under the pines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoothillsNC Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 just passed the 2" mark, with a thunderstorm. Radar looks to be filling in over northern and eastern GA and western SC, so more is on the way. Just what we needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turned out to be a south loaded event this time, for a change I'm hope you folks up there will eventually get yours. We really needed this. The sand dunes were taking over!
