jburns Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 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. I got .29. 2.39 for the month. 10.79 for the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lookout Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Got to 90 yesterday and FFC is forecasting 93 today. UGh. FFC is forecasting temps as high as 96 tomorrow in parts of central Ga. the 0.48 inches of rain i had the other day looks is as if it never happened. Needless to say this type of heat will only worsen the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsaur Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Beat ya, lol. I'm at 12 days without measurable precip. Sure hope the tropics go crazy and change the patterns around here!!

Lookout Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Tell me about it. Just .05" here in the last 11 days. Thumbs down. Tons of storms around MBY Monday thru Wednesday and got squat. Same here..one area had up to 5 inches to the west of me a week or two back and areas to the southeast of me had 1 to 3 inches. The 0.48 I had came from a "complex" of storms, that of course weakened right before it got here. To have a half inch of rain and it literally looked like it has not rained at all 2 days later tells all you need to know about how dry it's been here for a long time. At this pace of screwjobbing, If we don't have a wet summer/tropical systems giving us rain this year, I think at best both lakes will become a puddle and the other will dry up almost completely. Both are way down and have been for a while and even though the majority of north georgia has gotten decent rains, it keeps drying up as it gets here or the models have been way off on the amounts in general for at least 2 or 3 months here. Models are a bit wetter with the STS/front later on but I've seen this movie before so i don't have my hopes up. It doesn't help when you have highs of 95 degrees either, which i had yesterday. :axe: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoothillsNC Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I hit 90 for the first time this Season on Friday. It's amazing what a wet ground can do, as I've been on the other side of the coin many, many times . I liken this situation or rain/no rain pattern between NC and GA as being similar to how it usually is between my area and the northern Foothills. More years than not, my back yard falls in with the dry desert like side near the Upstate and Athens. But this makes the second year in a row, I'm in the Hickory group LOL. Everything is lush, green, and just nearly like a tropical rainforest. My yard looks the best its ever looked and even though streams still aren't up to what they were in the 1990's, they are no where near where they were just 3 years ago (and most of the last decade).

Having a good week down here as well, after the 6-8" 7 hr thunderstorm craziness last Wed. we have had showers associated with Beryl and a general onshore flow everyday. Typically they are small but heavy showers, today they are a bit bigger and I bet we have had close to .30-.50" IMBY as they are slow movers. The real question is what does Beryl have in store for us MHX seems to think 2-4" but I dunno.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoothillsNC Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 The real question is what does Beryl have in store for us MHX seems to think 2-4" but I dunno.... That is a good question. For your area atleast you'll always be on the north/northeast quad of the circulation, so onshore flow is going to be good next two days. It's hard to say exactly where the system stalls and then what exact track it takes when she begins to turn northeast but roughly looks like it will aim from the Ga/Fl line through South Ga and into coastal SC...again, pretty good track and close to the center so you'll see decent spiral bands at some point. I think all models are under doing the rain totals, but 2" to 4" looks reasonable, more for south central Ga/se and north FL next 2 days. I have some question about it stopping so suddenly in south central GA, as it has a good bit of speed now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gastonwxman Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Sorry if I haven't posted a lot recently, but I have been doing some heavy-duty planning and such for the Memorial Day Weekend, aside from work. Anyway, managed to hit 91 for a high Friday and flirted with 90 the following day. Up to 7.42" for the monthly rainfall so now the question is how much will be added to that before the month is over. It's been a fantastic month getting these opportunities for beneficial rain but of course, there is always that risk of too much rain but I'm welcoming any chance that's there.

Here is the thinking from NHC for the next 48 hrs, if this were to verify it would put us over 10-12" in southern Pitt Co for the month of May. The corn is already waist high in many places, compared to the last oh 5-7 years when it was lucky to still be alive much less get higher than waist high all year. Cant say I am wanting quite as much as forecast so we will see system like Beryl can be a nightmare to predict. I do think SE NC gets the rain hammer though and the NHC is not far off I bet.

metalicwx366 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 We always miss out on the big totals. Only half an inch from Beryl so far. Then to the east of here all that rain. Should see 2-3 inches tonight through tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I am thinking we could have some severe weather today. Already in TN some very nice looking storms are firing and going severe already and it's on 6:38 in the morning. Could get very interesting today in the SE.

It does look promising but since I haven't seen a drop in two weeks I'm pretty leery. Everything seems to die just a few miles away from my house.
