audioguy3107 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 .05" here. Not my day either. Hope something pops up later this evening. Seems to be about our only hope is to be under one of these slow moving clusters. One of the reasons I was a little skeptical of some of the model precip output (at least so far)......it blanketed such a large area....seems to be hard to get that kind of coverage during these summertime setups no matter how juicy the air is. FFC's discussion this afternoon mentioned that the ridge may try to build back a little sooner this weekend as well. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaur Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Justin...wait for it...wait for it...... Larry, I can only be held responsible if it is benificial rain, and welcomed. Any flooding, or washing away of anything, is because those Moles have super mojo, and it can't be contained You'll see...everybody gets rain this week, lol. I've gotten several scattered sprinkle/showers, which was ok, as I found a leak in my water pipe, next to a tree, and I've been digging, and chopping out roots for hours. Even a thunderstorm would have been ok, as I was looking very mole like, covered in mud, and soaking wet from the effort. Don't know why pipes go bad so as to make you work on them just before dark, in the rain, with lightening, and heat near 90. Absolutely beautiful sky I saw from the Home De pot parking lot. Only thing better than clouds in summer, is snow clouds. I had to wash off up at the other house with the hose, and now I know why my pup, shies away from getting a bath. The well goes down 350 feet, and that water comes out so very cold T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwagner88 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I only got 0.12 in the gauge at home today, but it had to have rained at least 2 inches down at my work. There was some pretty substantial flash flooding downtown today also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolinaDog Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Got you beat Marietta.... .02 for the whole show so far in Weaverville. There is always tomorrow though. Curious to find out how Lookout did today as per the returns he should have got some precip. I don't know... See that radar estimate for the storm so far several posts up? Notice that brown, zero spot in the southern end of Buncombe? That would be rain shield the gods have placed over my house. A few sprinkles and that's about it. If we strike out again tomorrow, I might start scouting a few cliffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ummmmm, Tony, we're getting a second tstorm here on the northside of Atlanta (Dunwoody area) with heavy rain! You must be up to something. You ought to get paid for these miracles. Wow, what an afternoon/evening! This one is more of a fun good old-fashioned garden variety tstorm. No hail, very little CTG lightning, no really strong winds, and no power flickering.

WidreMann Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Another lackluster day. Most of the convection was to the south today, although midday had some JUST to my north. Around here, just a few showers and then nothing. Radar is a little more exciting now, but the heavy stuff is much further west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No hail, very little CTG lightning, no really strong winds, and no power flickering. Glad to hear it, Larry. So many in Ga. have suffered much at the hands of treacherous drought like episodes, a good old fashion storm like we used to get is considered unusual now a days. I didn't get but a .1 or so tonight, but after 5+ inches in 8 days, I'm blase about it, lol. I don't imagine that attitude will last, if I get back in the drys again. No, to getting paid. As soon as you start charging for rain, it stops Anyway, moles aren't interested in gold....they like grubs and worms, I think :)Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isopycnic Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 another .56" overnight... still raining a little. 2.49 storm total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEGa Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 There were several rounds of storms yesterday afternoon and evening. Always a nice bonus to several storms in one day lol. Ended up with about 1.75" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavarreDon Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Really? Wow that sucks. Just south of yall we have gotten really good rains the last two days. Just wow crazy how just one county over makes a huge difference in totals. That seemed to be the theme yesterday. At times the rain was surrounding the French Broad River Valley. I don't know... See that radar estimate for the storm so far several posts up? Notice that brown, zero spot in the southern end of Buncombe? That would be rain shield the gods have placed over my house. A few sprinkles and that's about it. If we strike out again tomorrow, I might start scouting a few cliffs. I ended up with .12". GSP says there is hope for us though... FOR TODAY...HIGH PW AIR MASS COMBINED WITH LIGHT EASTERLY LOW LEVEL UPSLOPE FLOW AND A FAVORABLE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF THE JET OVERHEAD MEANS THAT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS COULD DEVELOP AT ANY TIME AT ANY LOCATION. EXPECT A BIT OF A LULL AROUND DAYBREAK. IN SPITE OF EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER...DAYTIME HEATING WILL HELP NEW CONVECTION DEVELOP FROM THE WEST AS A WEAK UPPER WAVE MOVES IN. WILL RAMP THE PRECIP CHANCES BACK UP TO LIKELY ACROSS NE GEORGIA AND THE UPSTATE...WITH CATEGORICAL OVER THE MTNS...BUT REALLY JUST ABOUT EVERYONE WILL SEE SOME RAIN IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS. SEVERE WEATHER SEEMS LESS OF A POSSIBILITY OWING TO THE COOLER TEMPS AND LESS DCAPE...BUT AS THE WIND/HAIL THREAT DIMINISHES THE FLOOD THREAT INCREASES...PERHAPS DRAMATICALLY IN SOME LOCATIONS THAT HAVE SEEN THE HEAVY RAIN IN THE LAST 24 HOURS. CANNOT PINPOINT ANY AREAS RIGHT NOW THAT ARE OF CONCERN...BUT BY SOME TIME LATER IN THE DAY... SUSPECT THAT A FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL BECOME NECESSARY. ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT...THE CONVECTION SHOULD EVOLVE SIMILAR TO TONIGHT...SO PRECIP CHANCES ONLY SLOWLY DIMINISH. ACTIVITY SHOULD GO ON ALL NIGHT SOMEWHERE. TEMPS WILL BE KEPT BELOW NORMAL TODAY...BUT IF ANY LOCATION BREAKS OUT IN THE SUN THE FCST WILL NOT WORK OUT. TEMPS WILL ALSO REMAIN MILD OVERNIGHT.

SuperNET Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 .96" yesterday and a weekly total of 2.21" 3" for the month so far.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoWeatherman Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Finally got some real rain last night. .85" IMBY. Far less than most areas around me but my grass is very thankful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookout Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Well, I did get 0.30 yesterday, mainly from leftover/dying storms...and as usual some areas close by got much more. Just south of me, for example, has had some very good rain/storms over the last several days. In total, probably 2 or 3 inches. So sick of seeing good storms heading this way, only to fall apart.

buckeyefan1 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 CAE picked up. 78 while mby had 2.15 It's amazing the difference just a few miles made in the totals. At least my grass isn't crunchy this morning and there is a few patches of green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griteater Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Here are the 'Day 2' totals....similar to Day 1, but more widespread amounts....still going to be some dry spots though (like Asheville - AVL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griteater Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Was looking at GFS model output going into next week, and surface dewpoints remain high. As we go into this weekend and into next week, the Bermuda high becomes more of an influence. So we move moreso into a pattern with more AM sun, more heat, and with high dewpoints (high humidity)....but also, sustained chances of aftn storms across the southeast. You can see the warm moist flow out of the gulf at 850mb on the bottom left panel of the Euro. Combine that with daytime heating and high dewpoints, and we should see a steady diet of aftn storms. As always though, there will be winners and losers with the precip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LithiaWx Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 .21" yesterday, storm total is .22" so far. Some areas less then 5 miles away from me really racked up though. I'm still holding onto hope for the moment that I can cash in today or tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCStateMMY Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Measured 1.44" in the gauge yesterday morning from storms on Monday night. 1.56" this morning from storms yesterday afternoon. If the stroms fire like they have the past two days, local amounts of 6"+ seem possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to see scoring so much rain to go along with your heat! It has been a few days since I had meaningful rains, but the ground is still so wet, I keep thinking I got rain over night, when I come out in the mornings, lol. Now, if we can just get back into the 70's. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T The 70's would be heaven I think I'm still in shock getting this much rain I just wish this pattern would continue, but I'm looking at temps climbing back towards the century mark soon and I'm not looking forward to that On the brighter side of things, the cooler temps and rain have given my hosta's new life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalicwx366 Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 Very windy outside right now with smoke coming from somewhere. Sunny and 91 with storm to the east moving west.

NGTim Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Finally got some real rain last night. .85" IMBY. Far less than most areas around me but my grass is very thankful. I got about .66 out of it. But I had a sustained gust (can a "gust" be sustained? ;-) ) that I would estimate had to be at least 40 or 50mph and it knocked a huge section out of a poplar and I watched it fall about 80 feet down. luckily it just missed a fence, a zip line stand, and a zip line. Dang now that I write this I think that happened from the storm we got the day before (just .11 inches). either way, it was quite a site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
