calculus1 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Just got home from a long 9-hour drive originating in southern Illinois. Rain began to fall on I-24 when I hit the KY/TN border. It pretty much didn't let up until just shy of Knoxville on I-40. Then rain began again once I reached the mountains and let up on the other side of Old Fort Mt on I-40. I'm thankful to be back home safe and sound. Checking the Vantage Vue for the IMBY stats, I see that I ended up with 11.07 inches of rain for June, and I've accumulated 3.90 inches of rain IMBY since the beginning of July (1.84 inches today alone). It's wet, but we all knew that. :loon: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEGa Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Up to 4.82" and pouring again...wish I could share the wealth or hold it till winter. glad i saw this - i wanted to post but was feeling sorta bad since it seems a LOT of posters are missing out and thought they would be in the middle of the rain. its absolutely pouring here in gullywashers - and a lot more thunder/lightning since about mid afternoon than before. tried to take the dog out and she refused haha. the driveway and front yard have about 2" sitting on them and the winds have picked up some. power flickered a few times but so far its still on (knock on wood haha). radar looks impressive for at least a little while. hopefully everyone will soon get in and share the wet for a while it was coming in batches or waves but since this afternoon its been dark and pouring pretty much non stop. since we had over a foot of rain in june alone, plus a lot more the last couple of days, i bet the streams and creeks are looking fast and furious lol. would like to try and get out to see about some pics but the camera or phone would get soaked before i could even click the shutter edited to add: oops forgot the total haha. 3.58" and counting. just saw this - so am thninking could end up close to 5" by early evening?

metalicwx366 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I guess the rain doesn't like me. There are more thunderstorms heading toward the Waycross area. They still might get on the fireworks up there at 8pm. If I was up there, it wouldn't be raining just like it isn't here in Jacksonville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaur Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Sounds like you and I are in the same boat. Band after band of heavy rain continuously miss me and end up hitting the same areas. There's another band of heavy rain to my south, but of course it is headed east of me towards metro atlanta. It looks like your area should get some pretty heavy rain soon. Also, what is up with that gigantic dry slot across the eastern half of AL ? Yup, these trains ride on HO gage track, so you need to be lucky to have the line through your yard I had a nice little gust front type wave come up the dry slot with side ways rain in some pretty good wind, and some thunder. Gave me .35 in about 10 minutes as the sky went night time dark. Now I'm up to 1.15 for the last 5 days. Oddly the sun was trying to poke though just before the line hit. Now I'm back in the slot, but it looks to be trying fill in down stream. Maybe this evening will be better than the day has been. Sort of depends on where the tracks shift to next. I'm surprised the bands aren't over you, but it just goes to show how narrow the tracks are Between you and me is probably only about 50 miles as the crow flies. T Edit: Lol, yeah, 3.5 in 10 minutes would have had me drowned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavarreDon Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I'm honestly surprised it's not even worse. Just constant downpours. Jason, it's some of the worst I have seen on the N side of town. I haven't been thru Biltmore or the River Arts District but it would be hard pressed to top 2004 in those areas. http://www.citizen-times.com/article/20130704/NEWS/130704001/Rain-floods-Tunnel-Road-water-rises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The news paints a rough picture north. I went to Carrier Park this morning and the French Broad was flowing into the park. I just can't believe how many downpours that we have had. ... and it is starting again as I type. Thunder and lightning with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Made it to AVL. all sunshine today from Roanoke to the NC/TN line on I 26. Literally as soon we crossed into NC the rain and skies just started dumping in Sams Gap. Then it lightened for a bit then coming down towards Mars Hill, it was near zero vis with some of the rain and it rained like that all the way past weaverville. Got a few glimpses of the French Broad River and wow is she ripping. Only part in SW VA was climbing the plateau from Ironto to Christiansburg, VA and it poured big time there. Looks like any fireworks show in Maggie Valley or AVL area wont be going off tonight with whats still to come from the upstate SC region into WNC. Dave come up to Lake Junaluska man in Haywood County. They say Rain or shine no matter what the fireworks are going off. I quess since they spend thousands of dollars they are like the hell with these going to waist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really heck they are probably worried about people trying to get through flooded roads because some people are not that bright. I can understand for safety issues. Not as bad here in Haywood.

calculus1 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Nice line of storms bowing north toward MBY. It's severe warned and headed my direction. Heavy rain falling back over Burke and Caldwell counties (foothills). MBY has been dry since around 4 PM, but that's about to change here, I think. Edit: This line has a history of 60 mph winds with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oconeexman Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Storm total of 5.45" so far with intermittent downpours ongoing. Local lakes are on some roads(Hartwell) and fishing piers on keowee under water. Can't ever recall that before. They were both at full pond or slightly above yesterday. Looks like more to come. Listening to scanner makes feel for those power line workers and emergency services. Non stop calls all day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion_NC_WX Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 2 lines of torrential rainfall have come through Marion in the past 3 hours...dumped about 1.5 inches IMBY and probably didn't rain a total of 30 minutes combined. Looks to be a third line forming around GSP and a 4th spoke of energy down in East Central GA, that may come up through the Upstate during the overnight. Over 5 inches storm total now...

That's exactly what they appear to be: spokes of precip that move counterclockwise up from the gulf and spin around a center located somewhere over the NC mountains. This most recent line that I mentioned above seemed to run out of gas as it got to MBY. A couple of minutes of heavy rain and a rumble of thunder or two, but no sign of those 60 mph winds that had occurred downstream, and I only picked up another 0.08 inch of rain.

We bagged the whole thing We went to Mellow mushroom and the rain stopped then got heavy and then stopped. You see the pattern lol. So we headed back to our hotel and chillin out instead. Canton is supposed to have their Saturday night, so we may try and see those. When we did go out after we checked, it downpoured and some T&L here.
