Met1985 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 We had a nasty cell about 2 pm today drop 1.87 in less than 1 hour. Puts us at nearly 13 inches for the month. Ya we got nailed today by two storms but that second storm was ripping. Had a total of 1.79 inches for the day. Ran into a storm on I40 in Haywood and was slowed down to 35 mph. Could not see but about 20 feet in front of you. Crazy amount of water on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burrel2 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 after today’s rain an area east of Pendleton,SC should be right at 20 inches for the month of July now... Our farm is now over 15 inches! We have peach orchards beginning to die from “wet feet.” That’s when the soil stays anaerobic for too long and the peach tree’s can’t take it. I have never actually witnessed this happening in our area until now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never actually witnessed this happening in our area until now. Wow not good at all. I was looking today at our rainfall for the month and we are approaching 20 inches here in the mountains. Got 2 gully washers today to put us at 2.27 inches for the day and more to come. Just remarkable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Well we picked up another 1.12 inches of rain today. Also with todays rainfall in Asheville they have set there wettest July on record. Pretty amazing and also what the heck is wrong with people getting into the rivers with the water level so high? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarvelMountain Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Another 2.5 inches the past two days. That put me just short of 17 inches for the month, and there's alot of month left. Temps staying low. It was 64 this morning, and only got up to 78 this afternoon. Are you sure this isn't May?

Just took a look at the Euro and the next 10 days looks unsettled and below normal for temps. A lot of records going down this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isopycnic Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 0.02" for the weekend. 0.02" for the past 7 days. Had to water the gardens last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I had a pretty good rain shower this evening but only picked up about .10 of an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burrel2 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 To date we have gotten 16.38 inches of rain for the month of July. We have also only had 5 days in July with no measurable precipitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Here's an excerpt from the most recent CoCoRaHS newsletter... I just ran our "Total Precipitation Summary Report" forNorth Carolina and about a third of the stations have received over 10"of rain this month. A few dozen stations, mostly in western NC, havetotalled over 15". The very soggy "winner" if you can call it that isnear Linville in Avery County with measurable rainfall every day thismonth and a total of 25.39" in 23 days since July 1. That same stationhas totalled over 71" since January 1. That's crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Here's an excerpt from the most recent CoCoRaHS newsletter... Lol I can believe it. We got hammered again this eveing. Just a huge gully washer of a storm. Picked up 0.87 inches of rainfall in about an hour. Not bad at all. They should look at Rainforrest totals this year.

EmersonGA Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 It has rained 15 days this month. My monthly total is somewhere around 9" and the mosquitoes are so bad that bug spray won't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaculaWeather Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 With no rain in the last 36 hours, I'm still sitting at 9.49" of rain so far for July, and 42.29" for the year. That still leaves me at 1.87" behind the total rainfall for 2012 with more than 5 months left in this year.

That still leaves me at 1.87" behind the total rainfall for 2012 with more than 5 months left in this year. We surpassed that total earlier this month and currently sit 6" above it. Columbus is also 5.5" from equaling our "average" rainfall for the year. This will be the first year we beat the average since 2009 when we recorded 80.2"!!!

dsaur Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 It has rained 15 days this month. My monthly total is somewhere around 9" and the mosquitoes are so bad that bug spray won't work. If you don't breath they won't bother you so much I used to be able to hold my breath for a minute and a half, but in my old age I'm down to a minute, if I don't mind everything going black and seeing stars, lol. So I just bath in the highest deet content stuff I can find, and forge ahead. It's these tigers that are the worst, I feel like a reindeer on the tundra in spring when I go out now. I've been thinking about getting one of those Tunguska netting hat thingys since I work outside all day doing important stuff, lol. I'm up to 7.55 after the other evening when the big area of rain over Ala became spotty light showers over me, but still I've seen more rain in July that I did in some combined summers this century, lol. I'll take the mozzies in exchange for the rain. The trouble is the rain has eased up a lot since the Moles disappeared, and drought is always around the next corner it seems based on the last 30 years down here.

That still leaves me at 1.87" behind the total rainfall for 2012 with more than 5 months left in this year. Just think. If the pattern suddenly changes and you only get 1.87" more for the entire year you will have 6 months of floods and six months of drought that will go on the books as a near normal year.

metalicwx366 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 2.32 for the month. Average is 5.89. 43.57 for the year. Have had storms in the forecast every day and still for the next 7 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion_NC_WX Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 We got exactly one week left in July and I am sitting at 13.68 for the month. I have received measurable rainfall for all but 7 days. Given what may be in the pipeline through the early part of next week, I have a shot at reaching 15 inches if we can get one or two good storms to form this weekend. YTD Total: 50.90 inches...

dsaur Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 A couple of the Moles came back... with some groupies...sporting Married by Elvis tattoos...and it rained twice today. One inch in a storm this afternoon, and .05 this evening. Like clockwork! My guess is they were playing a system in Vegas. Hope they won! I don't wish to see any leg breakers around here. Larry, don't know where the rest are. They may drag into Sav. yet. Meanwhile the summer sans 90's continues..just compensation for winterless winters.

1234snow Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Just rained an inch in 30 minutes from a storm that came out of nowhere. Rain wasn't even in the forecast today! This brings the monthly total to a gazillion inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
