downeastnc Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Got down to 30 here overnight - I guess the cirrus veil kept it from going any lower. I was really liking the way our forecast looked this morning - 1/4" to 1/2" tonight. They've since backed off on that with the updated AFD. Oh well... Radar looks a bit more robust than I thought it would this early, I got a bad feeling the kiddies are gonna be pissed tonight at least east of I-95. I wouldnt give up on .25-.50 in your area just yet.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 We've had a nice steady 20% chance falling for about a half hour now edit: Forecast has been updated to 80% this afternoon, 90% tonight edit2: There's .27" in the gauge already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL my kid is watching the radar loop with growing despair, he asked me if this ever happened to me when I was a kid as this is like the 3rd time Halloween has been rained out in his 8 yrs. Gotta admit I am kinda bummed to as I get to "check" the candy after the haul and my fee is quite heavy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Over a half inch now! I hate it for the kids, especially the little ones who are just getting into the fun of it. Of course, there was that one year when some neighborhood teens came around w/o costumes, and one girl even had the gall to ask for a bag to carry her candy in *SMH*. Hope the weather holds off for the kids tonight elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Well this wave is overperforming especially along the I-95 corridor and up near the VA border on 95 they have 1-2" which is a tad bit more than the .25-.50" they were forecast to get.

RevDodd Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 .65 in Lillington overnight ... and zero kids at the door. Anybody want a mess of individually wrapped Fruit Roll-ups? Yuck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Just dumped 1.03" out of the gauge from Monday afternoon/evening. This will always confuse me - that will get reported as November precipitation, although no precipitation has fallen or will fall on November 1st.

Solak Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 0.03" overnight... Felt bad for you yesterday, watching radar and knowing how close the edge of the precip shield was to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 So, here's my data from my Vantage Vue from October 2011: Hi Temp: 85.3 on 10/17 Lo Temp: 29.9 on 10/30 Rainfall: 2.70 inches Hi Wind Speed: 16 mph on 10/15 This has also been my driest month since moving to our new house about 10 miles SE of where we used to live. However, if I can count the rest of the year at the older house, January, February, and June were all drier than October. (I have no data from July as I was in the process of moving and in-between locations.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Tamland Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I observed a monsoon from about 5:00 to 9:00 when WRAL's foreacst for the day was a chance of spotty showers, mostly east and southeast of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My locale has been 20 miles too far west or east for most of these events this year. Sometimes being on the edge of the piedmont is a curse unless everyone else in the triangle is at 33 and rain and I am at 32 and snow.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got about a half inch, then sleet for a bit, then rain. IIRC northern Orange had like 4". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were forecasted to get several inches IIRC but the low ended up too close to the coast... or something. Jan 30 made up for it though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
