jburns Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I'm sorry to hear your peony is still wilted but I hear that those blue vitamins work wonders for bringing them upright again I've never had to resort to chemical fertilizers before. Usually a bit more attention perks it right up. In other news, considering the widespread coverage of today's precip even I am a bit surprised I have gotten nothing at my house since midnight.

NavarreDon Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Finally got in a good soaking rain! 1.27" thru the gauge today in Weaverville. 1.39" for a storm total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LithiaWx Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Hell of a storm rolling in now. I hope to post some good totals tomorrow morning! Watch out Justin, lots of lightning, no rain yet but it's coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Ridge Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 1.06" yesterday, most of which came from a particularly nasty band around mid-morning. Around half an inch has fallen today, and more is expected overnight as a shortwave moves northeast. Creeks and streams range from swollen to nearing bank-full.

It's always best to use natural methods before resorting to man made chemicals I've picked up another .23 today from the edge off a nice storm that dumped close to an inch across the river. There's still some sprinkles falling and the sound of thunder for the third night in a row is priceless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got bypassed just to your north on Day1 by a few miles being the difference in getting 2-3 inches of rain. On Day 2 you got missed to the south by a few miles where the SW part of our county got up to 4 inches down in the UNF. I ve had a little over 2 up to this point total for the event mostly from the day 2 event. More to come over the next few days/afternoons. The vegetation is starting to heal from the past 2 weeks of scortched earth with the exception of my fescue. It will remain dormant for good now until September.

jshetley Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Still not enough rain to wet the ground here this week. Anything that gets close either dies or misses by a few miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems much brighter and the thunder seems to roll for a longer time. Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaWx Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Folks, It's a rainy night in N GA. Copious amounts of rain have fellen over the last couple of hours in the Roswell and Dunwoody areas of the northern ATL metro area. Per radar data, we've received ~2.5" of rainfall since yesterday with light rain continuing. Tony, you're a major blessing and, therefore, we very much appreciate your great contributions.

Cheeznado Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 .14" Tuesday, 1.45 yesterday into this AM. 3 day total 3.46" More rain in the past 3 days than in the past two months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Well, unfortunately, my 90% chance of rain yesterday and last night amounted to a grand total of 0.04 inch for July 11. The copious rain over the mountains could never seem to break through and progress to the east. Caldwell county (the neighboring county to the west) was under a flash flood warning at one point, and we had yet to see any rain! Oh well, today's another day! I have accumulated a total of 1.54 inches of rain this week, so far. So, it's not a total loss, by any means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Nice cool morning for July! Low of 60 degrees after yesterdays high was only 71. Looks like today will be more low to mid 70s. Awesome weather for this time of year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookout Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Another day, another time of getting far less than places close by. Had one storm miss me by like a mile or 2 in the evening, then when a line of storms moved north last night, as soon as it saw my location a hole instantly opened up, while much heavier rain fell in every direction..including the places that got the rain earlier in the evening. This hole was so small, the radar radar estimated totals are fiction here. It was like 1 or 2 miles across..right over me. I just can't make this stuff up. I ended up with a whopping 0.20. Meanwhile, there was this one storm in athens that sat stationary for a few hours and had to dump 3 or 4 inches. It was very small though...but of course not only did they get that storm, they got rain from the line that moved up from the south. And speaking of places that keep getting good rain every day, the same area that I talked about with the severe storm that missed me the other day got a great soaking again last night. *Superman sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmersonGA Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I only picked up .25" last night. My 3 day total is 1.05" which I will take but I am jealous of those who keep hitting home runs while I'm getting singles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, sir! Lol, thanks, Larry, for the kindness, no matter how misguided It's the moles. I only made the mojo logo...and it hasn't helped me since I aimed it to north Atl. I have .25 for the last 7 days, while every one else, Chris included, is getting rains Today looks good though with clouds and cool early. Even if the clouds don't produce, I'll enjoy the cool.

HWY316wx Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 We got hammered at the house last night. 1.28" in the rain gauge. Very nice. We had been like Lookout and missing the boat, but we finally cashed in last night. Hopefully today brings us the mother load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandymanColumbusGA Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 These hit and miss showers are upsetting a lot of people around my area... North Columbus saw upwards of 0.75" while the airport officially recorded 0.02"! There MAY be something wrong with the sensor, though, as radar estimates put close to 0.25" there. East Central Alabama has really cashed in the past few days! The storms just diminish some as they approach Columbus and allow the storms near Atlanta to be re-energized.

Marion_NC_WX Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 It's been a very long time since we have had this much moisture here in the East and Southeast US... For those who haven't seen it already, Robert posted an update on his site this morning and is keeping an eye on that tight spin in the Southern Gulf of Mexico, His thought is that the models may be missing out on some potential down the road.

WSI's RPM was showing something moving up the west coast of Florida earlier this week. I never thought much of it, but it has kept the idea, albeit delayed, of something broad moving about in the eastern Gulf. That tight upper level low in the southern Gulf originated from the tropical wave over Florida (from what I can tell looking at the 48 hr WV loop) and dipped south toward the Yucatan Peninsula before turning back north today. There's not a whole lot of convection around it, but that upper level low could bring a bit more rain for Louisiana/south Alabama next week. We'll see. Here's the 200 mb analysis showing the upper level low in the Gulf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioguy3107 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 We got hammered at the house last night. 1.28" in the rain gauge. Very nice. We had been like Lookout and missing the boat, but we finally cashed in last night. Hopefully today brings us the mother load. We really got pounded as well here by that storm that started around midnight. That was probably the hardest I've seen it rain in a really long time. The water actually knocked down a silt fence bordering our property and washed a ton of mud, rocks, and pine straw all over our back yard and side. Grass is greening up though!!

MotoWeatherman Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Sitting at 1.28" for the last three days which is far less than many other GA peeps. All the big stuff has been just a few miles in any direction of MBY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoWeatherman Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 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. We got some pretty good winds out of that also but nothing like that. That would have been cool to see happen and then a bummer knowing your tree was damaged. At least the zip line is still up.
