Get ready Michelle, I'm sending you a rain present, and I don't see how this can miss you. Haven't checked the gauge, but I expect you'll beat .25 for sure! Merry Christmas And the best part is we are below 54 so we are sure to see zrain real soon!! Oh, wait, I hate zrain....oh, well, it is better than hot, and dry, lol.

T I hadn't even checked the radar this morning Congrats on that. And it does indeed look good for SC. Looks like the upcoming system is an excellent rainmaker for you and probably the midlands of SC and all points north and west. The 5h system is a beaut and perfectly situated before hooking up the east coast on Tuesday. Both GFS and NAM are very generous on the amounts, And for temps...brrr here on Tuesday, with temps holding in the 30's most of the day right in the Apps and the damming area..

AcworthWx Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Pics of last year and this year for comparison. Amazing what 15* colder can provide. Last Christmas day around 11:00 am. This Christmas day around 11:00am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaur Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Merry Christmas, Robert! I think your storm is coming now for sure, and it is just a matter of time! You sure nailed this shift south on the rains. Can't tell you how big a difference the last week is here in systems. I'm even in a dry slot now, but no worrys for a change, as I can see more of the heavy stuff headed right for me, and danged if it ain't raining in the dry slot, and no sun for a change Rain back into La. and all going east, and not nor nor east. Man, what a wonderful day, lol. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrips27 Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Just went out and there's .28" in the gauge. Nice cold soaking rain, even though I'd much rather have snow. Merry Christmas guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeznado Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Rain over now, .60. Now up to almost 4.5 for the month, more in any one month since March. 42" for the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowless in Carrollton Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Rain over now, .60. Now up to almost 4.5 for the month, more in any one month since March. 42" for the year. You would think with 42" for the year, Atlanta wouldn't be in a severe drought. I know 42" is below normal but it's still a lot of rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaur Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 .7 now, and just light drizzle. Much appreciated, and maybe more ahead. It almost like rolling around in 100 dollar bills, lol. Well, ok, maybe dollar bills. No, it's better than that this week. Make it 10's. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T It worked Tony It's been a steady light rain all day, and while it hasn't up to above .25 just yet, I do have .13 in the bucket and that is a fantastic rain present I would love to see anything frozen, and I know you don't like the zrain, but at this point I'll take what I can get I hadn't even checked the radar this morning Congrats on that.

Bevo Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 My current OBS reads that it's 45 with fog/mist, but in reality it's 41 and clear as a bell. Apparently my wife isn't the only one that likes to speak for me instead of asking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoothillsNC Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 The next rain event should be a good one for central Al, Ga and much of the western 2/3 to 3/4 of Carolinas. A very cold rain at that, with even some near 32 surface temps Tuesday morning. There's nothing to keep the cold air locked in but could be some quick glaze in the northern mountains of NC early Tuesday before rising to mid and upper 30's there, with just buckets of rainfall. new nam: old GFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalicwx366 Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Its been cloudy all day with a few spits of a shower here and there, but nothing really to help the drought. Currently 57 outside. I'm looking forward to the rain event Tuesday. Thunderstorms and wind forecasted from Twc. 80% chance of showers and thunderstorms from Wunderground. :D What do the rainfall totals look like within my vicinity?

FoothillsNC Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 what's the low tuesday night? probably low 30's to near 30, maybe upper 20's if winds subside and we get clearing. I think we'll clear out on this side of the Apps , the event should exit late Tuesday but the upper system goes directly over, still those clouds could be gone by sunrise Wed. morning. Black ice problems possibly early Wed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Well, my Christmas day was abnormal for a WNC native: High around 78 and I spent part of the day in the pool at the resort here in Kissimmee! An atypical Christmas from what I've come to expect, but it was pleasant nonetheless. Since I'm not missing any true winter-type weather while I'm away, I can handle it! I've got an 8:30 tee-time in the morning with my father and father-in-law: should be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoothillsNC Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Thanks buddy, I will throw a couple of salters on the trucks just in case. Need to get rid of some ice melt. Have 10,000 pounds left over from last January Locals have highs tuesday 51 degrees if the sun comes out Tuesday afternoon, you could make the 51, if not, probably not. So the high temp should get very late in the day , just before the cold front comes through, but by then it may be getting sunset. And Frosty, no ice there. The high pressure isn't properly placed, just 35 and rain most likely. The valleys in the northern mtns is where the trapped low level cold would be, and even there it won't stay at 32 for very long. But wed. morning should go below freezing if the clouds clear..looks like it will. (snow showers in the mtns Wed.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POWERSTROKE Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 sounds good. At least we have the possibility of some black ice in the conversation now.

EmersonGA Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 .4" in the gauge tonight. Im pretty sure we stayed between 46 and 48 al day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWC Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Robert any chance of it being colder in the DC area and a better chance of snow or zr ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoothillsNC Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Robert any chance of it being colder in the DC area and a better chance of snow or zr ? no, it looks about the same. Too warm aloft to snow about anywhere on the east coast, atleast on the front side, there could be some flakes on the backside, but thats doubtful.

FoothillsNC Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 latest GFS for midday Tuesday. Pretty strong in-situ damming for western NC and VA...around +4 at the surface, so upper 30s and lower 40's for the bulk of the event (after starting near freezing in the northern mtns.) Also good rain fall in the Upstate to Ga with over 1". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beanskip Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 12z Euro and some recent GFS runs provide a few faint glimmers of hope for a pattern change, but I'll believe it when I see it. Going to take a lot more than a couple Day 10-plus maps to convince me that this pattern is going to change. Looking at the fresh 0z GFS, not much to get excited about. RIdging out west is nice, but it's not sharp enough and there is no blocking or southern stream energy. This is probably the beginning of the 10 days of false pattern change model runs -- real thing will start in 20 days, then we start waiting for something to come out of a decent pattern.
