My raingauage in Wilson NC received 0.28" Friday and an exciting 1.07" on Saturday. Together with the stuff on Monday and Tuesday a healthy 2.09" for the week. Nothing spectacular but the lawn is lookign better as is the garden. I just wish I could donate some of it to the Midwest.

Awww, but.Mecken, I caught about a 1/4 inch, and Temps cooled to 73, what more could you ask for?

Edit notice the Seabreeze front moving from EAST TO WEST today? crazy!

Yes..... there has been a change in the sea breeze; finally! The relentless SSW and SW winds reported at Johnny Mercer pier were interrupted with an easterly component yesterday for the first time in ages.

Check out the Atlantic this morning; it's lit up like Broadway:

Satellite shows what looks like a cauliflower farm growing out there:

A lot of this action is supposed to move onto the coast later today. Should be a wet one -- and wow, what a pattern change!

Slight risk in GA/AL tomorrow:

But from what I can see north GA will likely get the bulk of the storms before noon as an MCS forms in SE TN and NW AL tonight and then rolls SE. I am just hoping for a decent rain here.

After that the heights lower as the ridge retrogrades so I expect better chances of storms for most of us later in the week.

these events lately havent worked out so good for mby, hopefully this one will perform. I'm with you just wanting some decent rain. Anything else is a bonus to me.

Yeah, I'm needing some rain badly. I had a good July, but it was front loaded. After the 5th is was back into the drought big time. I had dead limbs dropping all over everywhere, and whole trees out there, with half their limbs dead or drying up. A sustained pattern change is much needed before the dry months are upon us.

Or a hurricane, or three. The Saharan Air Layer has been looking good for weeks, but nothing makes it in this far.

Meanwhile, chalk up another day in the 90's. T

Cool map, thank you. The major rain event for southeast NC has been cancelled. Our forecast for 1-3" has netted us 0.00." Is that a FAIL or what? A lot of stuff well out over the Atlantic but sliding out of radar range now.

another 1.22" over hte weekend with 1.06" of that last night. I missed seeing the storms last night as we were on mt. Pisgah camping with the bears..

I sure hope Zoey didn't try to play with your visitors :lol: We had a mama and 2 cubs that decided to say hi to us last year while we were camping at Lake Jocassee. We seen them near the ranger station earlier in the day and heard mama's growl later that night when me and Christine walked just beyond our camp. That was one wicked growl ;)

Once again, ridiculous excuse for risk of severe weather here in north Georgia. There might have been enough rain here to make the pavement damp. I think we all need to accept the fact that unless we're directly underneath a pop up afternoon thunderstorm, it's not gonna happen unless we get a drought busting pattern change. I was watching the large area of light to mod rain this AM thinking, hey we got a chance! Of course it completely evaporated as it made its way down. Frustrating.

Birmingham, AL scored on this one. I think it was the Euro that got it right. Nam was too far to the east with the precip. I'm looking ahead for the next NW flow short wave, this one has already stabilized our atmosphere and clouded everything up. I doubt we get the instability to raise any isolated storms this afternoon. I hope I'm wrong, though, it's getting dry at my house.
