NCSNOW Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 You just can't get any better weather day here in June/July/August than today. Nice cool breeze and in/out sun. True early October weather. Ashame the upper 80's-90 mess will be back by Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueheronNC Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Okay, so it's been raining since about 3 a.m. and I'm already pushing 2" here in Kannapolis. Why is NWS GSP so awful? At 2:11 a.m., they issued a ZFP calling for a 20% chance of showers for the rest of the night for Cabarrus County. Their next update was at 355 a.m. for their Wednesday forecast, calling for a 50% chance of showers, reaffirmed at 7 a.m. Meanwhile, Cabarrus County has had 100% coverage of heavy rain the entire time. Fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 WRAL's forecasts says "spotty showers." Um, they might want to look to the west. That looks like more than "spotty showers" coming this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MountainMarvel Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Received 2.5 inches after midnight. It was still raining at 6 a.m. Temp was 57, and the creeks are full again. This was the first rain of the month here. Found a new addition to the area yesterday, and I hope his presence doesn't mean that the Sahara can't be far away this summer.

calculus1 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I had 1.33 inches of rain since midnight. It was a very pleasant steady rain that was perfect for sleeping with the windows open. Fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Made it down to 50 degrees last night which isnt to bad for this time of year, in fact it was only 5 degrees off the all time record low for this date. We have a 20% chance of rain on the day but looking west I gotta wonder if we dont see that get bumped up a bit in the morning update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmersonGA Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 0.29" of "surprise" rains this morning, currently 62f and sunny.. in June. It was 71 degrees when I got home from work yesterday afternoon. For awhile I had a mental fart and thought it was April. The past few days have been so refreshing. I had .2" in the bucket yesterday and .35" the day before. Nothing earth shattering but nice for the garden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gastonwxman Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Clouds and rain have kept temperatures from moving much throughout the day despite sun breaking out when it did so. Highs only managed to top at 73. Average highs during mid-October fall in the low-mid 70 range around here...So much for June-like weather. Thankfully this does cut down on AC usage, so there is that to consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsaur Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I think Tony's camel has escaped from his saharan desert amusement park He's out on loan I got another .68 the day before yesterday. Had to put the "scream and die" endurance challenge on hold because of soggy dunes, lol. It rained here and up to about Lovejoy, then nothing into to Atl., and all day up there. But coming back, about Lovejoy, we ran into flooded roads, so those folks got hammered. Getting hammered in Lovejoy sounds great on the face of it, but I don't know if it means the joy of love, or loving joy. And I don't know if it is joy, the exhalted state of mind, or Joy, the exotic dancer. I do know the biggest rough diamond ever found in Ga. was found in Lovejoy in the early 1900's. So there....Tony's little known facts of the day T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalicwx366 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Drought conditions are continuing to look better for the Southeast states. I'm surprised we are in the moderate drought area when we haven't even seen that much rain this past week. I'm guessing because the surrounding areas have seen it all. Currently raining at 72 outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE SECOND SYSTEM...SUBTROPICAL STORM/TROPICAL STORM BERYL...FORMED ON THE 26TH OFF THE COAST OF SOUTH CAROLINA EAST OF CHARLESTON. THE STORM TRANSITIONED FROM SUBTROPICAL TO TROPICAL BEFORE COMING ASHORE NEAR JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT ON THE 28TH. THE STORM WEAKENED TO A TROPICAL DEPRESSION SHORTLY THEREAFTER AND BECOME POST TROPICAL ON MAY 30TH. WHEN BERYL REACHED THE FLORIDA COAST...HER MAX WINDS WERE 70 MPH...IT WAS THE STRONGEST LANDFALL IN THE UNITED STATE FOR ANY PRE-SEASON ATLANTIC TROPICAL SYSTEM ON RECORD.

DCMetroWinston Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 North Carolina and Virginia are now drought-free. The remnants of Tropical Storm Beryl helped end a moderate drought in southeastern North Carolina, leaving the state drought-free for the first time since late June 2010. Parts of central North Carolina, including Durham, Orange and Chatham counties, remain “abnormally dry,” according to the latest map released by the U.S. Drought Monitor on Thursday. But until now, at least some part of the state has been in a moderate drought or worse for nearly two years. Tropical depression Beryl crossed eastern North Carolina last Wednesday, dropping several inches of rain in some areas. Before Beryl, the last remaining areas of moderate drought were along the southeastern coast, where the storm dropped more than 3.5 inches of rain at Wilmington, according to the National Weather Service. http://www.newsobserver.com/2012/06/07/2119751/north-carolina-drought-free-for.html Read more here: http://www.newsobserver.com/2012/06/07/2119751/north-carolina-drought-free-for.html#storylink=cpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
