calculus1 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I managed to pick up a very respectable 1.48 inches of rain yesterday. It was pretty drizzly all day, but the rain really began in earnest around 4 PM. A nice heavy rainfall, of varying intensities, then commenced for the next 6 or 7 hours. The rain continued for a much longer period than I was originally anticipating looking at radar trends. On the east side of the Apps, the backside was much slower in moving off. In fact, it appeared as if a little complex seemed to redevelop in the lee of the Apps and kept regenerating itself. Yesterday's rain was a magnificent blessing, as it was the first rainfall I had recorded in IMBY in 20 days. It should definitely help with the germinating and growth of all the new grass seed that I put down recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavarreDon Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 1.12" thru the gauge in Weaverville yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 1.48" yesterday - all after about 5:00PM. Looks like we were on the lower end in the area - there's some crazy totals from Western Johnston and SE Wake... from 3.05" to 4.83" (per CoCoRaHS maps). 3 day total IMBY is 2.68", 4.01" for the month, and we're somewhere near our yearly total now, sitting at 46.16" to date.

FallsLake Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Great fall weather today!! Breezy, bright blue skies, temps in the 60s, and dropping dew points. Had to temporarily turn on the AC yesterday because of the high humidity. Temps were in the low 70s but so were the dew points. But the windows are open again. I love this time of year.

MikeGold Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 More than 2" of rain fell in the Plott Balsam Mtns of Jackon County, NC Saturday along with sustained winds out of the SSW in excess of 40 knots. The favorable wind flow created good orthographic enhancement conditions and doubled the rainfall in the higher elevations compared to the nearby valley locations downstream in Haywood County. A NWS map shows a smoothed down version of the actual precipitation patterns but you can see the 2"+ value near Balsam/Mtns near Waynesville vs the lower numbers in other parts of Haywood County. The excessive rainfall numbers in the Piedmont areas were caused by some lingering instability that interacted with a meso-low that formed along the cold front as it slowly pushed through.

FLweather Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Rather cool outside today. 1pm and 66 degrees. Nws calling for 72 but that maybe hard to get to with a quick drop into the 40s tonight. PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENTNATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA329 PM EDT SUN SEP 22 2013...TORNADO CONFIRMED NEAR KING IN STOKES COUNTY NORTH CAROLINA... Darn ground truth after all.

downeastnc Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 MHX keeps lowering the low for tonight calling for 47 and they always are to high on good radiational cooling nights, might get 45ish or even lower 40's if these clouds get on out and the wind lays all the way up. PGV tends to really radiate well oftan making it one of the colder locations east of RAH on nights like tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FallsLake Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Man once the heat broke it really broke for good. It's been nice and cool for the last couple of weeks and it looks to stay that way: For my back yard: Tonight Partly cloudy, with a low around 50. Calm wind. Wednesday Partly sunny, with a high near 74. Calm wind. Wednesday Night A slight chance of rain. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 57. Calm wind. Chance of precipitation is 20%. Thursday Partly sunny, with a high near 74. Northeast wind 5 to 7 mph. Thursday Night Partly cloudy, with a low around 54. Northeast wind 3 to 6 mph. Friday Sunny, with a high near 73. Friday Night Mostly clear, with a low around 53. Saturday Sunny, with a high near 72. Saturday Night Mostly clear, with a low around 52. Sunday Sunny, with a high near 72.

Cold Rain Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 By the radar estimates, it looks like Cold Rain did pretty well. Ground truth? Sorry I'm so late getting to this. I left the house Sunday morning and all the ditches were completely full. I honestly didn't think it had rained that much overnight. But after watching the radar loop, I checked the radar estimates and it had my location at 3-4 inches. So, I'd say that's pretty close to reality. I really need a weather station.

FLweather Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Same around here too. I hope it stays just like this... bc my wallet will really love the electric bill this month. Though in all reality its probably a sure bet the AC will not run again till next spring here in this house. Man once the heat broke it really broke for good.

LOL I thought the same thing nothing like a few clouds moving in late at night to bump the temp a few degrees to change that front end snow chance into another rainstorm lol.....they are going 49 tonight so hoping for a 45. My grandmother who lives in the Springfield Mass area hit 36 last night...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaur Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 1.2 this morning. The trick to getting decent rain into the cursed lands is having it come up from the south. The more traditional line coming in from the west misses me most times, like the one on the door step now that will blast CandyMan, and give me a few drizzles from the looks of the radar.

When he finally went to sleep, it didn't take me long to follow. Slept through the whole thing. And like you said, that's probably it for a long time!

NCSNOW Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Per Raleigh a.m. discussion: EXPECT ANY LIGHT RAIN IN THE WRN PIEDMONT TO HOLDOFF UNTIL AFTER 4 PM WITH THE LOW LEVELS REMAINING FAIRLY DRYTHROUGH THAT TIME... ALTHOUGH PATCHY LIGHT SPRINKLES MAY OCCUR INTHE LATE AFTERNOON. However looking at radar appears Triad will see a couple hours of rain here this a.m., unless this turns out to be virga which it very well could. Need some more rain so it's obvious I'm rooting against the ole forecast office . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
