LithiaWx Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 It has been raining since 5am this morning. I'm on the edge of the band but its still pouring. It also looks as if the band is starting to change its orientation from S to N to SSE TO NNW. that may keep cobb county in that band a bit longer... This thing is crawling east. 5" totals starting to show up in NW GA and SE TN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1234snow Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 The first rain drops of the event is finally starting here as a band barely made it. The line has not moved past Knoxville due to the downsloping with an easterly component of wind. Mountains giveth and taketh away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a treat being in the low 50's and rain all day on May 4th to top it off. The last time KATL had 2.76"+ on any one calendar day was all the way back on 5/3/2010, when 2.81" fell!

jshetley Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 There is a solid line of very heavy showers and some thunder from Northeast of Macon to east of Valdosta GA that is moving almost due north and seems to be aimed at the upstate of SC. The rain already here in the upstate is slowly increasing so flooding may become an issue around here by sometime after daylight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 To me looking at the models this event has really just started. It looks like AL,GA,TN,NC,and SC will be seeing rain into Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
