dsaur Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Rain has been fair but not meeting expectations in the last few months.... I'll settle for a southeast get together over the rain if possible.... Well, we could have a sled in out at my highway hill! You may prove right about a warmer time ahead, but that won't negate my chances at a good sleet storm this year, lol. That line back in Ala. looks a bit more robust now, and if the one behind begins to extend toward the gulf, I might feel hopeful for later. At least Cory ought to get some. That line needs to fatten up when it gets near here, or it is just too easy to slide between the showers Here is hoping for all of us in Ga., and Michelle in Columbia town, too! All those suffering from desertification. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcworthWx Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 About 3 drops here ... shafted so far. That's putting it lightly. At least we can look forward to some fall temps the next couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoothillsNC Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Well, that was underwhelmingly disappointing. Less than a tenth, and the suns out...though it was raining pretty good with the sun out for a while....now that has stopped. Less than 3 inches in nearly two months. I saw the camel again earlier....peeking at me over the dunes T Sorry to hear that again T, but if it can change here, it can anywhere...eventually a supressed track will put you in the sweet spot for steady precip. about to rain nicely it looks like, just getting the first few drops.

MotoWeatherman Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 i feel bad now that i see the low totals...its starting to lighten up here a bit (and radar looks like its on the way out) but 1.34" so far its been absolutely pouring since it started. temps have dropped too, down to 60 Lol. .02" over here in Dahlonega..

Solak Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Well, we're already picking up some light showers, and they've changed our expected amounts to 1-2" overnight. Of course, last time they said that, we got 0.13". I'm really hoping we do get the heavier rain around here this time. Still sitting at 3.08" since Sept 1.

blueheronNC Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Had to RUN to the car in a nice moderate rain after dinner tonight. I didn't mind getting soaked. I like the orientation of the precip band to the SW of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Rain Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Looks like RDU is about to get in on the action. Just landed at RDU. Radar looks pretty meager but could just be these BB graphics.

ryan1234 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I knew this storm wouldn't bust like some of the models were suggesting today. The Charlotte metro is doing quite well tonight. I have even seen some lightning and heard some pretty good claps of thunder tonight. If only it were January and the temperature was 29 degrees.

Solak Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Oh well - our 1-2" just got slapped --- now we're going to try for ..."New rainfall amounts between three quarters and one inch possible:" We've got a couple hundredths so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now maybe my yard will not sound as crunchy when I'm out walking the pup Wow, wow! That's great..kind of pathetic, but great In past years we wouldn't think anything of 3 inches today, and 3 more Friday...how far we've fallen to be way happy over 1/2 inch, lol. Sorry to hear that again T, but if it can change here, it can anywhere...eventually a supressed track will put you in the sweet spot for steady precip. about to rain nicely it looks like, just getting the first few drops. Yeah, man, you are my torch in the rain cave, lol. If you can turn it around, anyone can.....and I don't have a set of mountains to get in the way Looks like that next line fattened out pretty good, so I've got my hopes up once more.

dwagner88 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Nearly two inches of rain here in the last 90 minutes. Still pouring now. I am now over my yearly average with 2.5 months still to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoothillsNC Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Looks like about a half an inch in the gauge...nice steady rain for last 3 to 4 hours, but its almost over with for the most part, untilmaybe round two. Also, had a couple rumbles of thunder. This year (spring summer fall) has definitely without a doubt provided the most thunderstorms I can ever recall. Must have had over 30 thunderstorms this year, or days with thunder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gastonwxman Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Finally got my computer back after waiting for it to be fixed up. The memory went on the fritz and had no choice but to buy new RAM, plus it suffered the infamous BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) due to a critical software issue. Glad to be back on the forum once more. Aside from that, I've been under heavy rain for a few hours since it began during the late evening. Nothing but drizzle now but managed to get 1.47" out of this. Very nice I say and the ditches are completely filled to where it looks like a mini-river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandymanColumbusGA Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 We've dropped 6 degrees in the past hour! I can't WAIT until the morning show is over to go out and enjoy this cold air!
