WxKnurd Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 What a microburst we just had! Heaviest rain and strongest wind I have seen all year, easily touched 40+ mph winds. Porta Jon in front of my house (new neighborhood still under construction) is blown over and now time to access the other damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalicwx366 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Currently 73 with double rainbows and thunder. Had a good soaking earlier with some 20mph gusts. Looks so odd outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marion_NC_WX Posted August 4, 2012 Author Share Posted August 4, 2012 Pieces may be coming together over the next 5-7 days for enhanced rainfall chances across the South...Front lays down across Tennessee Valley/Carolinas, general upper trough across the region and maybe some tropical interaction via INVEST 91L.

Met1985 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Rained total of three times today. Good cloud cover and a nice breeze to keep temps in the upper 70s. Have about an inch and a quarter of rain today. Been very wet since first of July till current. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griteater Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Yeah, I get the "micro-climate" comment. But still, most of the piedmont triad looks like my backyard. So my micro-climate can't be that far off. Also, I said the maple trees were yellow and dropping leaves. Upon further inspection, its the poplars, not the maples. I found a couple of them in my neighborhood today that have dropped 90% of their leaves already. With poplars, it's common for some of the leaves to turn yellow and drop early, typically in August....but dry conditions can exacerbate the issue.

dsaur Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 1.1 tonight. That's 3 inches in two nights. It's feast or famine around here, but, dang, that mole mojo works for me 9.2 in the 30 days since I called up the moles the first time. Man, I hope they are as good with sleet!!! \ If they pull in a hurricane, I'll be thrilled....but frightened, lol. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Interesting that the line hugging the mountins seems to be building back into the mountains from east to west. Well almost seems stationary. Should be some great rain totals under those heavy bands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LithiaWx Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I didn't hit the jackpot but I would call it a second place prize. Well over an inch probably close to 2" in the bucket this afternoon. I will get an accurate measurement once everything dies down this evening. Very localized rainfall centered over mby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audioguy3107 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Cool. I got over an inch as well. Heaviest rain since late June. Nice job, I know you've been in the hard luck category lately. After watching lightning for about an hour and a half last night and counting about 15 rain drops, I've pretty much given up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaur Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Cool. I got over an inch as well. Heaviest rain since late June. Way to go J!! I've got heavy blinding rain again right now. 3d day in a row. I'm going to have to retire the moles as I don't want too much, but I want to see if they can haul in something from the tropics T A quick .6, and now the sun's out with gentle rain still falling.

WilkesboroDude Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I have had enough rain this month. Might could use another shower in two weeks time. Light rain right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharonA Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Thunder started rumbling to our south about 20 minutes ago, coming from rapidly building towers that were still a picturesque puffy-white with outlying wisps of grey. Radar had only a couple of token 15dBZ spots at the time. In the last 10 minutes it's started getting its act together and is now varying shades of grey, darkening rapidly, headed our way, and starting to sound like a real summertime storm. Nice cooling outflow. After the taunts of this last week, where we had stuff pulsing on everyone all around and leaving us with only the uber-humid muggy air, I'm looking forward to this!

LithiaWx Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Cool. I got over an inch as well. Heaviest rain since late June. Nice man! I got 1.5" after I added it up. I'm glad you were able to cash in on some rains! I know it must have been hard being so close to so many who racked up in July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marion_NC_WX Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 I'm starting to think tomorrow and tomorrow night has a lot of potential for scattered areas of heavy rainfall especially for parts of Georgia and the Carolinas. Frontal boundary coming into the Tennessee Valley/Carolina, decent southeast flow due to a combination of the Bermuda High and a developing upper low in the Gulf of Mexico...and the moisture content from INVEST 91L. Right now its hard to tell exactly where it will set up but I think a couple pockets of heavy rainfall could occur. The influx of moisture from the Atlantic could reach the Southern Appalachian Region by tomorrow evening...the escarpment could wring some of that out during the overnight hours...

dsaur Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Good for you, Mr. Metal. You look to maybe have some good days for a while. It'd be nice if the rest of the summer could get you well The rain we've been getting, a lot us in the dry parts of Ga., is bing and purge rain, and it just isn't the best. I've had heavy rain onto very hard ground, most of which runs off; and, though the ground does soften up, ready for the next rain to soak in more, it waits two weeks of sunny 90's before it rains again, lol. Looks great on paper, but I can see the plant life is suffering. Don't know when I've ever felt this dry, after having so much rain in a month. If the rain I've gotten in the last few days is the last for a week, I"ll be right back in the desert. I'd be better off with half the rain, but coming every two or three days. Need a good pattern shift, and maybe a hurrican can help that happen. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
