EmersonGA Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Looks like Cheston (EmersonGA) is getting some good rain today. Once again we have missed the heaviest stuff. It's getting old. It looks like your about to get hammered now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Another miss this afternoon - but they got a little closer --- some nice 1 - 1½" amounts within 3.2 miles of here, but nothing in this yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeznado Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Another inch earlier, now up to almost 5" this week. Wow. My best month since January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburns Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I watched a strong line of showers move toward my home all night and it fell apart just before it reached me. So zero for today. Another zero precip day. Pretty much all around me again. I seemed to remain between the showers moving from the SW to NW and those coming in from the SE that turned and diminished as they entered Randolph county. I ended up with 1.04, all from the early part of the event. Needed a lot more but you take what you can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaur Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Got a tenth tonight. Not so good this week, but I've still managed 5.7 since the 3rd, so I'm amazed none the less. This week has reminded me more of summers past that any summer week in years. The pop up line of showers that hits and moves on.... or lines up and trains. People around the state getting theirs as time goes by. Beats the hell out of drought days, which I've grown all too used to since the 70's. I'd sure love a good generational pattern switch. Get something new for the next 10 to 30 years. I vote for cooler, wetter summers and much colder and wetter winters. Or a return to the end of the 19th century might be good. Or the end of the 18th. Anything but the last ten summers....or the twenty before them T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookout Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I wasn't here but apparently it *finally* rained more than a tenth or two. Thursday/early friday morning specifically...around 2.25 inches total. Wish I was here to see it..maybe I should leave town more often lol. Only need about 8 inches more but thank god we got it before we start drying out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilkesboroDude Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Heavy rain in north-west North Carolina this morning....hoping to see the Sun this weekend...it's been too long without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I picked up 0.35 inch of rain yesterday. Several periods of light rain added up to that total. So, for the week, I'm at 1.86 inches. Very low and heavy clouds this morning. I might get lucky and get some more rain this morning. As W-Dude said, it's been a while since I've seen much sun too. But, I'm okay with that. Let's keep on the cool and rainy train... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyefan1 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 This past week has been amazing and I sure hope it repeats itself soon. CAE's total for the event is 4.69 and for the month 5.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavarreDon Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Nickeled & dimed to death in Weaverville. Picked up another .12" last night and this am. Total for the event is 1.67", 3.53" for the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mencken_Fan Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Hello from the extreme southeast corner of North Carolina. While I read most posts here, I rarely chime in myself because other than when we have tropical activity there there's rarely anything of interest to say. Yes, Wilmington suffered under the heat wave. We reached 100F or better several times including one day of 103F which is just one degree below our all-time record for any date. Being on the coast was no salvation from the heat or worse yet the heat index which reached as high as 120F. What we didn't get -- is a lot of rain. We've had just one solid though not extraordinary thunderstorm over the past month or so. That and a couple of rain showers here and there. It's been a very dry summer here on Cape Fear. Was pleased of course to see all the action across our region; just as I am in winter when little if anything happens here. Looking ahead, we expect continuing deep blue tropical skies - via the Bermuda High - with those lovely towering cumulus that are so common under this regime. The tropics of course look dead as a door nail so I'll go back into weather hibernation for a while again. Y'all take care and have a great summer.

dsaur Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Tim, you write well, and it's interesting. You should post more, and let us decide about importance Low 80's again here, and mostly cloudy once more. The storms will pop up later, and then it's the afternoon/evening crap shoot, some get hammered and some don't. I'm pulling the moles this evening....can't let them get fixated..so cut your hay while the sickle is sharp, lol. Justin, glad you finally got something a bit more substantial, but, man, Kennesaw is a tough nut to crack. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrips27 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Event total of .88". It's sad that, barring a storm today, we won't even break the 1" barrier. I'm glad to see everyone else do well though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalicwx366 Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 Any rainfall is better than nothing. We have only seen 1.66 this month and no complaining from me. Then a 7 second on and off rain around noon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow... about 5 or so miles away and i am closing in on 3" for the event. Win some and lose some i guess. Better luck next time Justin. I just checked the weather in upstate NY for later in the week. Upper 40's are showing up on the GFS. Fall and Winter are not too far away guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Tamland Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Had about 10 minutes of rain this afternoon. Rest of the day was just hot and humid. Pretty boring weather. I guess there is a chance of some severe storms tomorrow, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalicwx366 Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 ^There is not even a 5% area of severe in the Southeast. Currently 75 with crystal clear skies. We should see a good coverage of storms tomorrow and Tuesday here from that tropical upper tropospheric trough spinning like a top off the coast in the Atlantic Ocean off the Southeast Coast moving toward our direction.

Isopycnic Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 WRAL's tagline is: North Carolina will see "run-of-the-mill" summer weather this week: chances of spotty late-day storms and highs that reach into the mid 90s by mid-week, WRAL meteorologist Elizabeth Gardner said.
