LithiaWx Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 What a gorgeous night it is. This is the first hint of fall this season and it is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburns Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 4.4" of rain today. It has been absolutely crazy. Over 9" has fallen around Archdale per the NWS. Something is wrong there. I found one station over 4" to my northeast. Just to my west several between 1 and 2". 2.12" here. Seems about right. 9" and we would have been seeing fast water rescues.

Seems about right. 9" and we would have been seeing fast water rescues. I heard of one in Central Davidson Country. I had really heavy rain for long sustained periods today. No doubt the heaviest rain I have ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavarreDon Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Got fogged in & only made it down to 57.9° Got the fan in the sliding glass door pumping in cool air. My family will not be happy when they awake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmersonGA Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Bottomed out at 57 and it feels great. I almost had to add an extra blanket. Now all we need is some football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoWeatherman Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 56.2 here in Dahlonega. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaggy Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 dopplar estimates of 3-4 inches from yesterdays storms. Rainfall rates were insane and we lost a rubber seal in one of the roofing joints at work. There was a 150 foot long waterfall inside the warehouse and it flooded part of the building.

RevDodd Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 FWIW, zilch here in Harnett County. Spend the morning putting in our fall garden, anticipating help with the watering. Nope. Just me and the ol' garden hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoWeatherman Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 My 56.2 here in Dahlonega was a record for Dahlonega. Previous was 56.7 in 2008. Before that it was 57 in 1989. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isopycnic Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 lol You're not going to believe this but it just stopped raining here. 2.12" I might go out and spit in the rain gauge to get another 100th. 2.14" total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion_NC_WX Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 Gotta admit...a refreshing change in the air and I like it. That said...it gives me a chance to look at what may be coming down the road and if the globals are any indication we will be heading into a more active and fast pace pattern with more opportunities. Starting late yesterday and continuing with the two model runs today, the GFS hints (in different ways) at taking the former TD #7 and breaking a piece of that across the Yucatan and quickly developing a cyclone in the Gulf late this upcoming workweek. The 0z run in particular developed an 850 vort fast enough to where it gets picked up in the mid-latitude flow... It will be interesting to see what the future trends are in relation to that region... Robert has an update on his site this morning talking about the pattern change in the northern latitudes...if anyone on here has yet to subscribe to his site, I would highly suggest spending the 10 bucks a month, he has been very spot-on the entire summer.

MBY just up the road from you bottomed out @ 59. I saw some football on Thursday. Yes it was the first pre-season game, but it was football nonetheless.

cbmclean Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Here in Wilson NC, my rain gauge registered a respectable 1.22" yesterday. The week for 8/5/2012 - 8/11/2012 came in at 1.98". Healthy but not ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCSNOW Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Picked up 1.25 last night. Fixed the rain gauge situation IMBY. Guy about 1/2 mile down the road confirmed we have had 5.3 inches of rain since last Sunday. I can tell up toward High Point/Trinity there was some heavy rain last night. The Uwharrie River is well out of it's banks down this way. Amazing turn of events in just 7 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowless in Carrollton Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Today was a sign that fall isn't too far away. Of course we will still have some more hot days, but at least there is an end in sight. It was 59 here this morning and looks like another low in the 50's tonight. Pretty unusual for Mid-August. We definitely didn't have any breaks in the heat the last 2 summers like we have had this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalicwx366 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 4.98 rain for the month so far. Almost all of this fell this past week. Rained everyday from Monday to Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to me this summer was just about as lousy as last summer temp-wise. I certainly hope this winter doesn't follow suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly hope this winter doesn't follow suit. It still felt pretty warm to me when I wasn't in the shade. After all, the sun is still pretty strong since it's only August. But in the shade, it just felt amazing. Love the lower humidity ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lookout Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Had a fantastic 54.8 this morning. Damn..just think...5 degrees away from the 40's. Amazing. You can't ask for better this time of year. It was 58.9 here this morning for a low. Considering where we normally are and how hot it can actually be, man...pretty impressive to say the least. And as RW said, this is after that absurd and record breaking heat wave we had. Strange summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowless in Carrollton Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Look at all that rain in Alabama headed our way... Or is it ? FFC says mostly sunny today and only a 30% chance tonight. Is this another case of where storms magically disappear when they reach the Georgia border ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwagner88 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Hell of an MCS is on its way here now. I'd have to imagine flash flood guidance is pretty low in all of east TN right now due to all the recent rain. I'm already above the August average, and we aren't even halfway through the month yet.

toxictwister00 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Look at all that rain in Alabama headed our way... Or is it ? FFC says mostly sunny today and only a 30% chance tonight. Is there another case of where storms magically disappear when they reach the Georgia border ? I would imagine this is the case, no slight risk for GA today, but then again it could end up holding together and turning into a surprise for us.

calculus1 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Look at all that rain in Alabama headed our way... Or is it ? FFC says mostly sunny today and only a 30% chance tonight. Is this another case of where storms magically disappear when they reach the Georgia border ? Here is GSP's explanation of said rainfall potential: AS OF 145 PM...THE MAIN THING OF CONCERN FOR THIS UPDATE IS A LINE OF CONVECTION CROSSING CENTRAL TN AND AL ATTM. THE MODELS DO NOT SEEM TO BE HANDLING THIS VERY WELL. ATTM...IT STILL LOOKED LIKE THE LINE WILL LOSE STEAM AS IT ENCOUNTERS STABLE AIR OVER ERN TN AND GA. WITH THAT SAID...THE LATEST RAP BRINGS INSTBY WITH THE LINE (AS IT IS NOT MOVING VERY FAST)...SUCH THAT THE SW NC MTNS DO DEVELOP ABOUT 1000-1500 J/KG OF CAPE BY 23Z AS THE LINE ARRIVES. THE CONVECTION WILL HAVE THE ASSOCIATED MCV TO HELP WITH FORCING AS WELL. SO ANOTHER UPDATE MAY BE NEEDED SHORTLY TO BUMP UP POP THERE. FOR SURE...THE MOISTURE WILL SPREAD IN THIS EVENING/OVERNIGHT BRINGING MAINLY MID AND HIGH CLOUDS. SOME SHWRS MAY SURVIVE INTO THE NC MTNS THRU DAYBREAK. TEMPS ARE STILL FCST TO DROP TO NORMAL OR EVEN A CATEGORY BELOW (THO THOSE MAY BE TOO COOL GIVEN EXPECTED CLOUD COVER). Thus, who knows? You might get lucky and see it hold together long enough. Time will tell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioguy3107 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I would imagine this is the case, no slight risk for GA today, but then again it could end up holding together and turning into a surprise for us. Looks like its starting to dry up as I type, but several showers and storms breaking out ahead of the main line.....maybe we'll get lucky but I'm not holding my breath. Its been a really long time since I've seen a MCS make it all the way across the south including N. Ga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
