Thrasher Fan Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Still broad but it looks to be tightening up a bit the last few frames on reflectivity mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrips27 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I just happened to look and was very surprised to see the warning. Definitely a hook on radar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalicwx366 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Looks like whatever is there may go south of Carrollton. Edit: I see they have cancelled the warning now. 0.25 today. 3.12 for the month. Today was trash besides that storm earlier. Been missing all the action to the west. Just lightning and thunder now.

jburns Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Raleigh NWS has been struggling with POP for several weeks. It's like a yo-yo. As an example, last night there was a 70% chance of rain this afternoon. When I woke up this morning it was down to 20%. Went out and mowed my(very wet) grass. When I came back in, the POP for "late afternoon had jumped back up to 60%. No rain at all yet today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CandymanColumbusGA Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 We picked up 0.17" yesterday. Of more significance is the fact it put us in the record books as the wettest summer. The previous record, 24.68", was set in 2005 (ring a bell???). That makes the 24.70", and counting, we've seen in Columbus even more impressive, IMO, since we haven't had any organized tropical systems.

metalicwx366 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 ^^My backyard picked up 0.16. I was at the gas station on the NW side of the town where there was strong winds, intense lightning and blinding downpours. That area saw about 1.5 inches of rain according to radar estimates. Next time I'll wait, but I didn't know the storm would blowup like that. 4.96 for the month. We only have tomorrow and Saturday left to reach monthly average rainfall.
