LithiaWx Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I just went out and read the gauge, registered .33" in 20 minutes Justin. Looks like my amounts in the gauge is pretty close to yours, that gives me comfort about the location I set it up in. I even saw some pea sized hail out of that line, I'm impressed. It's still raining and looks liek plenty more light stuff to my NW poised to move through. I may clear .50" with this line! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19jpc Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 54.2 here in Dahlonega. Had a nice thunder shower. High today was 62.3 after a low of 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winterhawk Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Just got our Spring/Fall/Summer/winter? thunderstorm with hail come through.. Need to check the calendar; must've hibernated for too long.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 69.0 for the high, but no rain here as of yet. What month are we in? I forget... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherfide Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I should check the soundings. Those storms must be low-topped. I'm looking to the northwest and can barely see the clouds down at the horizon. With pea sized hail, must be some very cold air not too far off the surface. Hope they stay together as they drift SE.

EmersonGA Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Just peaked out at the gauge and I got right at a half inch. No hail but the lightning was impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaculaWeather Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Was out eating with the wife and we had a little small hail, lightning, and gusty winds when the initial line came through. Tops are about 30kft. only 0.19" here but it's still raining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherfide Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 This is a good example of what has been the pattern all year. Just north of I-20, the rain comes down in buckets while the south side of Atlanta misses most everything. The pattern has repeated numerous times. This is remarkable. Within 100 miles, it goes from surplus to major drought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LithiaWx Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Just peaked out at the gauge and I got right at a half inch. No hail but the lightning was impressive. I ended up with the same exact .50". Very nice unexpected rainfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowless in Carrollton Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 This is a good example of what has been the pattern all year.

Within 100 miles, it goes from surplus to major drought. Yep. It never fails. Every single storm system, North of I-20 gets more than South of I-20. I have no idea why though.

It is concerning that the present system went from pretty strong down to scattered the closer it got on the maps, and now the midweek storm is a shadow of it's former self. Even the Fri. system is showing two individual closed contours at 138 , one over Tenn, and one over Pensacola , and they split apart the rain as they disappear by the next frame, and leave those of us in need with the dregs again. Sure, it's a week out, but I don't like the drift on the gfs towards weaker. I'm up to 11 days without rain. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaculaWeather Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I didn't get much over night. Still will have showers off and on all day and night so a pretty dreary day ahead. Looks like winter outside. I see it coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavarreDon Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Sounds like some impressive storms in GA yest. Weaverville got its first precip of the year yest. .18 thru the gauge. Current temp is 42.0° light drizzle & dense fog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Very foggy here. Had about half inch of rain over night and temp about 41 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drfranklin Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 High of 70 degrees yesterday in Greenville, SC - it was a beautiful day - I love winter in the South! Was able to take the kids and bike at the new Lake Conestee Nature Park (southern extension of the Swamp Rabbit Trail) - had a great time - heard some thunder as well late in the day. I don't know how you guys in the (Apps/Blue Ridge) mountains deal with all the cold, wind, and snow. Since I'm about an hour south of Asheville, I enjoy easy access to the mountains (elevations > 3,000 feet are 40 minutes north). 51 degrees now with a total of 0.08 inches of rain overnight.

NGTim Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Yep. It never fails. Every single storm system, North of I-20 gets more than South of I-20. I have no idea why though. I had 59.33 for 2011. (dahlonega) even with that, pond dried up in the summer when we didn't have much rain for a while. I can only imagine what it was like further South. have got about .60 so far out of this latest system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEGa Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 A tremendous increase in cold air damning is occurring all across the south. lmao - you got that right! at least today "seemed" not summer like haha. foggy, drizzle and rain (with thunder last night). temp hasnt moved much from about 53 most of this afternoon edited to add: rain total .68" It's over with now!!

audioguy3107 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Unbelievably warm outside right now, upper 50's, dense fog.....really feels like a night in late March the day before a good severe weather day.

Been the story of the last few years. My consolation is knowing when the worm turns, I'll be getting tons of sleet and snow, while points north are enjoying their precip. free cold air, lol.

andyhb Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 First slight risk of the year....and of course it is in the SE... DAY 2 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOKNWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK 1258 AM CST MON JAN 09 2012 VALID 101200Z - 111200Z ...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS ACROSS PARTS OF THE CENTRAL GULF COAST REGION... ...SYNOPSIS... AN UPPER LOW INITIALLY OVER CENTRAL TX IS PROGGED TO MOVE STEADILY EWD ACROSS E TX AND LA THROUGH THE PERIOD. THE FASTER GFS MOVES THIS FEATURE AS FAR E AS THE AL/MS BORDER BY 11/12Z...WHILE THE NAM CENTERS THE FEATURE AT THIS TIME OVER THE LOWER MS VALLEY ALONG THE LA/MS BORDER -- ABOUT 6 HOURS SLOWER THAN THE GFS. THE TIMING DIFFERENCE WITH THE UPPER SYSTEM IS LIKEWISE REFLECTED AT THE SURFACE...WITH THE GFS LOW -- AND PARTICULARLY THE COLD FRONT -- SHIFTING EWD ACROSS THE GULF COAST STATES MUCH MORE QUICKLY THAN THE NAM. IN ANY CASE...THIS SYSTEM WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE ENTIRETY OF THE THUNDER/SEVERE THREAT OVER THE U.S. THIS PERIOD. ELSEWHERE...A NEW CUT-OFF LOW IS FORECAST TO EVOLVE/DROP SWD JUST OFF THE CA COAST...WHILE A MUCH FASTER W-E PROGRESSION OF FEATURES IS EVIDENT IN THE NRN STREAM -- WITH ONE TROUGH VACATING THE NERN CONUS AND A SECOND DIGGING ESEWD OUT OF CANADA INTO THE N CENTRAL U.S. THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD. ...CENTRAL GULF COAST REGION... SHOWERS -- AND LIKELY EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS -- WILL BE ONGOING AT THE START OF THE PERIOD ACROSS PARTS OF LA/AR EWD INTO THE LOWER MS VALLEY. WHILE MEAGER CAPE IS EXPECTED...SHEAR PROFILES SUPPORTIVE OF UPDRAFT ROTATION AHEAD OF THE SABINE RIVER AREA SURFACE LOW SUGGEST LOW-END TORNADO POTENTIAL MAY ALSO BE ONGOING. AS THE LOW SHIFTS EWD WITH TIME...WEAK MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES SHOULD CONTINUE TO INHIBIT APPRECIABLE CAPE INCREASE INTO THE AFTERNOON. EVENTUALLY HOWEVER...AS THE SURFACE LOW STRENGTHENS AND THE COOLER AIR ALOFT ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER LOW BEGINS TO SPREAD ATOP THE SURFACE FRONTAL ZONE...ASSOCIATED CAPE/SHEAR INCREASE SUGGESTS A CORRESPONDING INCREASE IN STORM INTENSITY -- AND THUS A GREATER THREAT FOR LOCALLY DAMAGING WINDS AND ISOLATED TORNADOES. GREATEST POTENTIAL APPEARS TO EXIST FROM LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...AND WHILE DIFFERENCES IN MODEL TIMING COMPLICATE THE FORECAST FOR AREAS OF GREATEST THREAT...WILL INTRODUCE A SLIGHT RISK FROM SERN LA EWD ACROSS SRN MS/SWRN AL AND INTO THE WRN FL PANHANDLE. ..GOSS.. 01/09/2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
