Marion_NC_WX Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 the RAP did a solid job last night in depicting the precip that hit the North Carolina foothills and down into Upstate South Carolina where some areas in South Carolina got 3-4 inches overnight through this morning. Just looked at the 21z run and its doing a good job again with what's currently firing up in the North Carolina mountains...the 21z run shows convection through midnight (tonight) for WNC with a re-flare towards morning...

DaculaWeather Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 As of 6AM, radar estimates of 9" of rain have fallen this morning in Dawson county in NE Georgia. The Etowah River is already over flood stage. IMMEDIATE CONCERN FOR THIS MORNING IS HEAVY RAIN IN NORTHEAST GEORGIA. AT AFD TIME (4am) ....3 -HR RADAR ESTIMATES OF OVER 6 INCHES IN SOUTHEAST DAWSON COUNTY ALONG THE ETOWAH RIVER. SEVERAL COUNTIES UP THERE HAVE SEEN 2-4 INCHES BUT DAWSON IS THE WORST. 00Z KFFC SOUNDING HAD PW ALMOST AT 2 INCHES...AND PW VALUES PROGGED TO INCREASE SLIGHTLY THROUGH THE DAY. HEAVY RAIN IS DEFINITELY A CONCERN AS CONVECTIVE COVERAGE INCREASES THROUGH THE DAY. 00Z HIRES MODELS ARE ACTUALLY CAPTURING THE CONVECTION IN NE GEORGIA VERY WELL...SO IF THE TRENDS FROM THESE MODELS ARE TO BE BELIEVED...THE AREA IN NE GA WILL SAG SOUTHWEST WHILE CONVECTION DEVELOPS IN SITU OVER NORTHEAST ALABAMA/NORTHWEST GEORGIA AFTER SUNRISE AND MOVES SOUTHEAST...WHILE THE REMNANTS OF THE MCS OVER MISSOURI MOVE INTO NORTHWEST GEORGIA AFTER 18Z. THIS RESULTS IN POTENTIALLY MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF CONVECTION ESPECIALLY ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA BEFORE THE CONVECTION DISSIPATES LATE THIS EVENING. HAVE GONE LIKELY TO CATEGORICAL POPS IN SOME AREAS IN N GA FOR TODAY. EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL DRY DAYS...WOULD BE TEMPTED TO ISSUE FLASH FLOOD WATCH. AS IT IS...CANNOT RULE OUT ISOLATED FLASH FLOODING THROUGH THE DAY /AS IS ALREADY OCCURRING/. OTHER CONCERN THIS AFTERNOON AS THE CONVECTION MOVES INTO NW GA WILL BE POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED DOWNBURST /WET MICROBURSTS/. DO NOT EXPECT WIDESPREAD SEVERE BUT ISOLATED SEVERE CERTAINLY NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion_NC_WX Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 This morning's model data still in line with the thoughts I had a couple days ago... Strong Bermuda High return flow + solid convergence area roughly across I-40 Cooridor = several rounds of heavy thunderstorms this weekend from Alabama to Southern Virginia, weekly totals should really begin to pile up in that region by late Saturday and Sunday.

LithiaWx Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 As I suspected N GA got pounded with this little event. we will see how long it continues. I think we will move towards a more pop up type setup in a couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burrel2 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 we are now over 5 inches for a 2-day total and the rain continues to fall. Isolated spots in the upstate around the six mile area have received over 8 inches in the last 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaculaWeather Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Maybe I'll get a little this time, only had 0.28" from the first batch. I was hoping it would make it further south, but no such luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwagner88 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 That MCS was a total dud. Barely a tenth here over the last 2 days. There is a flood advisory out, but I can't tell why. Radar wasn't generous with the amounts. A couple of isolated areas are over an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burrel2 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 We were up to 5.33 inches for the week when I left work today. That total is made up of 3.31 inches that fell tuesday and 2.02 inches which fell today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsaur Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Maybe I'll get a little this time, only had 0.28" from the first batch. I was hoping it would make it further south, but no such luck. I was all giddy with excitement this afternoon when the NWS hit me with a flash flood warning. It was only a few miles west, and coming this way. Heavy, heavy rain..slow moving. And I got .1 from it. The super dissipating derainalizers are going full steam down here, along the Ala. line. The mini drought continues. I've got rain on radar just a county away, again now, but I'm not holding my breath. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Penland Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Never even made it to my house. The 2z RAP is showing quite a bit of rain returning to the same areas as this morning by tomorrow morning. Maybe you'll see some then. We picked up a whole .1" at the gauge at my parents house while some spots 20 miles SW reported 7". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaculaWeather Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Well, I hope so. Right now _6:05am) there ain't nothin' on the radar. The stuff in TN is moving directly east, you might have some drizzle and light rain near you Tyler, but certainly not what they got yesterday.

Guess we'll see what happens this afternoon. I know we don't need the rain all that much, but I'm only 6" off my yearly average and at this juncture I'd like to get there ASAP just for the sake of doing it lol.

GaWx Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Folks, KATL has had a whopping 20.79" of rainfall already this met. summer as of 8/8/13 (2 PM) with none of it from tropical cyclones! This already places the met. summer of 2013 in 4th place for KATL going back to when records started in 1879! The heaviest JJA rainfall on record is the 25.82" of 2005. However, during that summer, there were four tropical cyclones that contributed close to 15" vs. none so far this summer. In 2nd is the 24.44" of 1887. However, storm # 4 in July of 1887 contributed 7.9". In 3rd is the 24.31" of 1994. However, Alberto contributed 7.92". So, as of 8/8, KATL has already seen the most JJA rainfall on record (since 1879) from sources other than tropical cyclones!! Also, since KATL is only 5.03" away from the 2005 alltime JJA record, there might be a shot at that if a wet pattern dominates. Yep, these are very special times in which we're living!

Met1985 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 picked up 1.14 on tuesday and 1.85 yesterday. Ya Rainforrest we have seen a return to a very wet couple of days. Amazing how such a small blip of the radar can really pour the rain our. Yesterday was pretty much a washout and today it has rain three separate times for a two day total of 2.03 inches of rainfall.
