MikeGold Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Thanks for all the well wishes!.....Hmmm NavarreDon. I might have to run with that. Mike it's a small world. I am very familiar with the area as I have vacationed there since 99. I lived in Ft Walton from 93-99 before moving to Asheville. Really amazing area down there. Agree about the storms down there. I will continue to post & maybe bring you guys some tropical weather fun. As I said above it's really tough to leave the Mnts. & I'm sure i will question myself when a big snow is ripping thru but, sometimes you just gotta follow your heart. Someone let Skip know I am coming down so we can meet. 85 keep up the good work. I will pm you if I have time to meet but things are rather hectic right now as you can imagine. Will start posting again when I get settled. Take Care Guys! Don, was looking at some Weather Link data for that area. For a station near the Beach: http://www.weatherlink.com/user/boggscooling/ Shows that about 32" of rain has fallen this season. Another: http://www.weatherlink.com/user/pensacolasurf/ 33" However if you go just slightly inland: http://www.weatherlink.com/user/dblee50/ Almost 54" has fallen demonstrating rather dramatically the increase in storms as you move a few miles inland. This one: http://www.weatherlink.com/user/nb8s/ Almost 66"! It isn't clear to me if they set the precip counter to start January 1 or say for the Spring or Summer..but either way..dramatic gradient near the beach. For instance, looking at today's HRRR..you can see where the storm will be today..just to the North of Navarre and should drift towards the coast based on the wind profile although the HRRR suggests it will push North instead with the seabreeze.

Met1985 Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 The storms in south Haywood have been relentless today. We have gotten some good rains from those storms but they have just been sitting there over and over. We actually went hiking down that way earlier in the day and thankfully we left right before the storms hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 Looks like we could see some decent storms from tonight and tomorrow before the cooler weather sets in for a day or two before another disturbance moves in to bring us more rain.

MikeGold Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Inch of rain so far..going to be wet night up top with orographics kicking in with unseasonably strong low level jet of 30 knots. Some 3" totals are probable although would like to SW flow instead of SSE for full impact to the Balsams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 Just a few things about yesterday was Asheville set a daily rainfall record and also set a new max low high temp yesterday also. Don looks and sounds good! Mike amazing the rainfall totals. We're I am we have picked up 1.83 inches of rainfall. Not to shabby but not 6 inches also. This has been an awsome week for the mountains with lows in the 40s and know some great rains this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
