Local Yokel Wx Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Got a nice break yesterday with light - moderate showers training over the valley, dropping a half inch across the county in a uniform fashion. Southern Jackson pipcked up more due to thunderstorms before the light showers set in overnight. Going to be a oven across the SE this weekend. If this wx doesnt make you think about hopping in the water, I dont know what will, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solak Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 We just missed the core of the storms yesterday, but did pick up .35". Looks like today's storms are making a beeline to this part of the county - just West of I-95. Been hearing the thunder coming for the last hour or so.

Solak Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Looks like we're going to miss this one too --- too far West by about 5 miles. Incredible window-rattling thunder with it as it's headed towards downtown Clayton and the KJNX radar site. Just a few sprinkles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downeastnc Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Getting hammered here in Greenville for hours now, my folks have had hail at 3 different times, and here it hailed once, size is all pea to marble size but it has covered the ground in some places. Rainfall totals are pretty varied but most places have gotten 2-5" with many roads flooded in town though no flood advisories are out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washed the drive a little and four day total is around 4 inches of rain. Today alone we got about an inch and a half. It has been raining so much i cannot keep up with the yard growing.

Its crazy because the dopplar was just for yesterday and doesn't account for the 1.25 I got on tuesday so I know for a fact i've had 6.25 inches of rain since Tuesday I just don't know how much more than that.

Brick Tamland Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 We had a pretty bad storm got through Wake Forest yesterday. I arrived home just after it went through. There were limbs all over the road on Highway 98/Durham Rd. You could smell the pine in the air. And there was a lot of hail, too. It was small, but a lot. Here are some pics I took at the Petsmart in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one of the COCRAHS gauges and it goes up to 11" of rain, it measured 6.1" of rain from yesterday. Very impressive. Rainfall totals are a little high due to the hail but not too far off.
