Avdave Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 It is pretty humid out here in WNC. once that sun was out full force around noon, it got ugly. Only 63 on top at the Craggy gardens picnic area with a gusty breezed, was quite nice up there with some fog and passing clouds. Got down to the BRP and US 70 interchange and the temp wast 74 or so earlier this afternoon. Looks like another repeat of yesterday afternoon, a small line of storms in upstate SC heading towards the AVL area this late afternoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow Posted July 6, 2013 Author Share Posted July 6, 2013 It's been a mostly sunny, yet very humid, day. As expected, the evening storms are popping up to the south and making their way up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any of you out there wanting rain please take ours; it is awful in this quantity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Just saw this morning that GSP is 15 inches above normal for the year! That is amazing, especially given the last 3 or 4 summers!i know there are isolated spots around that have a lot more of a surplus than that, and there have been some really bad mudslides and damage due to all the rain., but I think I would rather it be like this , than oppressive heat and drought. More is on the way , and Sun- Mon looks like another 2 to 3 inches for a lot of us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avdave Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Just got home from work & my DP is 72.9!......that is unheard of around here usually but, I guess the past few days have been anything but usual. Yeah that is just plain ole nasty dew point. It is like south florida in summer. Today was the worst I felt of the humidity since we have been here. Back north tomorrow I was up in the Craggy Gardens area including the picnic area this afternoon as well; it was in the clouds at the Craggy Visitor Center; went on a hike on a trail below the picnic area Some more rain in AVL when I returned and it is still trying to leak into my basement. Any of you out there wanting rain please take ours; it is awful in this quantity. I didnt even make it to the visitors center, the visibility was just nasty. Almost zero, I said the heck with it. It was really refreshing at the picnic grounds though with the gusty S wind. I wish the Govt would put a weather station and web cam at each of the high peaks along the BRP. It would be nice for us weather peeps and for wx information as well. Similar like the ones they have along interstate highways. Once you went through the tunnel it was just teribble. That last line pretty much fell apart here in W AVL like yesterdays did. Old Fort looks to get clipped pretty decent with that cell now that there is a warning on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaur Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Just got my one and only deluge for the day so far. A small piece of the train running just to my west. Oddly, looking down stream it looks like my best chances for more rain tonight are coming from the Atlantic, with me right next to a huge gulf river roaring, lol. Go figure.

It is still a great time in WNC and AVL no matter the weather. You live in a great area. Thanks for your climo info too. We are planning a return trip later this year, yeah with the hundreds of thousands of others but the wx is usually pretty decent here unless a tropical system rolls inland. Off to Canton for the fireworks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Few more showers to heavier rain showers in the last 2 hours between AVL and Canton. Just keeps on adding up Yep we are having a thunderstorm right know. Since it is after midnight this makes the 7th straight day of rain and we ahve had rain 13 out of the last 14 days . Picked up another 0.78 inches of rain yesterday and oicking up more tonight. Lol the rain wil not end! Looking ahead to the next week or two it looks like we are pretty much stuck in this pattern. Dave wish you would have had better weather man but they don't call it the Smokey Mountains for no reason. Was a pleasure having you post down here and would have great to meet you. Hope you are your family have a safe trip back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarvelMountain Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I guess I officially live in a rain forest now. Another 4.5" since Friday morning, making my total 10.25" since Tuesday morning. It's raining heavily now. Some water seeping into the basement. Always happens when I get more than six inches in three days. This weather has produced a record crop of biting flys. Thank goodness for Deep Woods OFF! And June here had only 6". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavarreDon Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 We got back to our old ways in Weaverville last night. Picked up .23" but, that brings us up to 5.9" since last Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEGa Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 guess the weather can seem relative at times - so far this month (last week) mby has received about 6.5" - even though the last couple of days have been mostly sunny with just a few storms/showers. was thinking the holiday weekend would be like the 4th, but with the sun assumed we had not really gotten that much rain. obviously i was mistaken lol. this summer has been awesome rain wise so far, everything is green and lush for a change. lake hartwell is not only full but water is covering a lot of the walk ways out to the docks.

NC_hailstorm Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Missing the heaviest rain here for the month so far,1.62'' the total. Don't really mind it has given the ground a chance to dry out.Saw some patches of small red mushrooms in the backyard,don't ever remember seeing any like that but I'm not sure.

Marion_NC_WX Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 It's been quiet here today, less than a quarter-inch in the gauge...with the worst of this event coming to an end, I've got my eyes on the models and sure enough the hints are there for a repeat.

dwagner88 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 The official grand total since Wednesday at KCHA is 5.04 inches, but it is still raining right now. The counties in N. GA immediately to my south are really getting hammered right now with rates of almost 2" per hour. KCHA has had measurable rain every single day in July.
