metalicwx366 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 No rain today because of lower PWs and dry air near the upper trough according to NWS JAX. Tomorrow and Wednesday definitely look more promising for some decent rainfall. Majority of it is across NE FL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwagner88 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 FFC is going with 2-3" most areas from Wed-Fri. Nothing out of the ordinary for July. After all, July is typically one of our wettest months. That's more than half the month's average rainfall in 2 days. Not to mention the tendency for convective rains to cause flash flooding. Not sure why I'm bothering, you will continue to post crap like this no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the tendency for convective rains to cause flash flooding. Not sure why I'm bothering, you will continue to post crap like this no matter what. Excuse me ? Please show some respect and lose the attitude. Thank you. I was simply posting what FFC said. And 2-3" in a 2 or 3 day period is NOT unusual at all for July. It's not uncommon in July to have 3" of rain in an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jshetley Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I'm beginning to think this event isn't going to live up to it's hype in most locations. There is still no retrogression going on. The train of moisture certainly seems to be shifting east instead of west like the models are forecasting. I don't see the heavy rain forecast from I-77 and east tonight happening either. The rain will be along the coast and offshore with only a couple of clusters anywhere west of I-95 in NC or SC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbmclean Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 For some reason, Wilson NC is in a huge dry slot. Does anyone have any idea why this is? The slot is dry almost all the way down to Jacksonville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LithiaWx Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I can see why NC is having so much trouble. I rode through a frog strangler of a rainstorm earlier today. It quickly flooded the streets and this was a matter of 30 minutes tops. Ere are some amazing rainfall rates in the juicy airmass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep one thing that concerns me is that the rain we have recieved this afternoon and tonight when I drove into work is that the river was already up and the streams and creeks have already doubled in size and we are just getting started. I can see more storms developing tonight and working there way through already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalicwx366 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Will the rain make it here? I think not. 3-5 inches of rain has fallen down there today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Yea, I am watching upslope potential tonight for the mountains, and then the Foothills and Piedmont areas for tomorrow morning through noon. Ya it looks like the southern Apps may get hammered. Looking into Wed and Thur seem to be when we may see the heaviest of precip coming through and a large swath at that. could get pretty narly here in the mountains this week especially around the 4th.

Avdave Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Good luck coming down here this week. Picked a pretty lousy week but hey at least temps should be nice and everything is very green. Thanks. Im hoping my rain shield will kick in and shift this stuff to the east. It was supposed to rain up here in Northern VA the last 3 days and have had 1 light shower so far. Like Hurricane Tracker said, the waterfalls should be roaring with life if the trails arent to muddy. Hope to get to Mt Mitchell, but Im feeling it will likely be in the clouds and fog the whole weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope to get to Mt Mitchell, but Im feeling it will likely be in the clouds and fog the whole weekend Ya well by the end of the week things should really start tappering down. Ya the trails this year with the mountains being some 15 to 20 inches above normal for rainfall are very lush and the waterfalls are roaring. Should be pretty nice to hike through though but be careful we have already had several people get severly hurt because they get to close to the falls of in the water.

Just enormous drops of water that she couldn't see thru. A lot of people pulled over on 26 & the traffic that was flowing was going about 20 mph! Things are quieter know but still raining.

Thanks, Will do, Im an experienced hiker so Im pretty careful out there. Just got back from hiking an old volcano in Hawaii, that was pretty wild. Hopefully saturday will be salvagable.

It looked like the intensity of a Florida rain storm on radar. Decent dbz's on the return.

Met1985 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Really not impressed with the coverage of the precip tonight. I know this has been discussed already but the GFS is really not that impressive right know. Looks like tomorrow the foothills get in on the heavy stuff but then just scattered everywhere else.
