buckeyefan1 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 looks like your area might have got hit for once? Hope so. I'll take what the GFS is showing in the next 10 days. Hopefully we finally luck up with a cutoff in just the right spot. Nice line just came threw dropping at least .50 in the bucket along with some rumbling thunder. I love the looks of that map and would be happy with half the amounts shown More spits and sputters here. .03" yesterday, .11 today and it looks like the jump to the SE is in full swing. I hope this next round Sun-Wed does not under perform like this one did. I second this statement Its raining!! Hard. VantagePro says rain rate is 7.68" per hour. LOL A half hour will be enough. Now that's a rain storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crossthread Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Sry folks,Haven't posted in awhile,,, things here on the coast, down here in SE, NC are DRY.... TOTAL Precip amount for the Month(s), of April through Today are 2.15" thus far...(IMBY) I added up the amounts from Obs that the Airport has... Mostly they were amounts like .05 to .35 etc etc, More like Traces of precip... i'm observing on radar the Cold front pushing down, looks like ya'll in central NC/SC are reciving good amounts of showers w/Associated T-Storms... Winds are ramping up in front of the squall line...30/40 knots below 1kft... As the front approaches the coast & encountering the SeaBreeze.... Hope everyone, including us here get some good rains/showers today... We all need it.. From KILM Although the line has remainedsub-severe it will encounter slightly stronger wind fields and instability as it translates eastward. Widespread severe weather is not expected...but a warning or two for low end severe wind is possible...cae's radar was sampling some very low level winds in the 30-40 knots range below 1kft. Slight enhancement/gustiness added to thunderstorms associated with the actual squall line. Some weak rotation has also been indicated...suggesting that wind fields are strengthening....hopefully not more than anticipated though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isopycnic Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Was under the "severe" cell... nothing but heavy rain and some gusts. Chapel Hill airport gusted to 35mph. ~1.0" in 15 minutes was impressive though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaur Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Glad to see this first pretty widespread rain event (maybe the biggest in a month for Ga, SC). After last night's .65", should be adding to it nicely today. We need it since departures are -5" or so around here and I see 7" to 10" below between Athens and Columbia...they should finally get a decent event too. Best news of all is the weakness or cutoff showing up next week. A big chunk of the Southeast could benefit from that. Hey, Robert. Nice to see your tag! I better than doubled my totals since March 31st., in the last 3 days. I'm up to 1.35 after being at .4 for weeks and weeks. Nice soaking, gentle rain finally found me. Woopeee! Not much, but a big help none the less, 'cause things have been bad around here after such a banner span in late Feb. and early March.

shaggy Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Picked up a big chunk of rain in about 20 minutes earlier. NWS dopplar painting the area with a 1 inch dot in that time frame and it was coming down on buckets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalicwx366 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Picked up about .5-.75 today mostly with a good downpour that came in earlier. Some wind gusts up to about 30-35 also.

Solak Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 .68" today - the heavier storm tracks were 10 miles either side of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwagner88 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 The radar looked good. Only got 0.06. Since the severe weather event in early April, I have seen a grand total of 0.19. We really need this cutoff. It took a long time for the levels in the ponds to drop because of the crazy rains we had last year, but they are VERY low now.

NCSNOW Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I cant wait neither! Ridgetops above 5k are likely to dip into the upper 30's. Been perfect up here as of late, minus last weeks heat wave. Same down this way. Minus last weeks heat wave it's been a nice cool refreshing spring. I'm not forecasted higher than the 70's the next 7 days with some 40's at night. Garden is in great shape at the moment. Picked up 1.2 since last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't call this a cool, refreshing spring ! It's been one of the warmest springs on record overall. Atlanta was +10 for March and +4 for April.

I don't imagine he/she is much more than 5 miles away from me. In fact, I did a sort, and ga-lp-1 (dahlonega 6.4 NW) had the highest total in the state for the 7th (4.01). Edit:Just did another query on all stations in the US for the 7th, and ga-lp-1 had the 8th highest total in the nation, beaten out only by several reporting stations in IL and IN.

EmersonGA Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I picked up .1" yesterday. I'm at .65" for the past 7 days or so and all of that came a little at a time. At least the ground is wet. 45 was the low this morning and it felt great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow...didn't realize that much fell. That storm was just parked over that part of the county for several hours on Monday. Our turn will come when we get a storm propagating off the mountains in the summer time heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gastonwxman Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 47 for the low this morning and only getting up to around 70 so far for today. Definitely a different feel in the air as opposed to the previous week with highs pushing into the 80s and low 90s during that period. .30" of additional rain from the remainder of the recent rain event, which puts the total to 1.48" for the month.
