sparklecity Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 It rained! Thought we were going to get screwed again, but there was some storms that popped up on top of us. Picked up 0.66". Needed that really bad. Hoping we can pull some more in tomorrow to last us until it rains again in 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jshetley Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 We finally got it really good here and it's still pouring outside now from a shower that is only very slowly moving through. And based on radar it may rain hard here for another 15 minutes or more. This is by far the most rain we have had in over a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rain is over at least for now down here but we ended up with 1.50 today so no more complaints for a while. I wouldn't be surprised to pick up at least 1-2" the way it's raining now and the looks of the radar. For once we look to be in a pretty good position. No lightning or wind at all, just heavy rain.

metalicwx366 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I tried to edit my post but I accidentally deleted it. The warning said we were expecting destructive winds in excess of 70mph, that happened on the north side of town. We had winds up to 50mph here. Also there was a huge fire on the N side of town. I'm guessing it was from a lightning strike. 2135 UNK WAYCROSS WARE GA 3121 8236 WIDESPREAD EXTENSIVE WIND DAMAGE ACROSS NORTHERN WARE COUNTY FROM MANOR TO WAYCROSS. TREES DOWN AND POWER LINES DOWN.

calculus1 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Picked up 0.14 inch of rainfall from various small showers. Here's GSP's outlook for today. Sorry, upstate SC, you continue to get downsloped in this W/NW flow (just as Hickory often is): .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...AS OF 320 AM EDT WED...THE MAIN UPPER SHORT WAVE ASSOCIATED WITH ALINE OF VORT MAX SHOULD REACH THE WESTERN MTNS AROUND 12Z TODAY.AHEAD OF THIS UPPER FEATURE...LATEST CONVECTION ALLOWING MODELSSUGGEST THAT SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS WILL DEVELOP OVER THE SWMTNS AND NE GEORGIA AROUND DAYBREAK AND SPREAD EAST ACROSS THE NCMTNS THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS. THE MAIN UPPER WAVE SHOULD PROGRESSEASTWARD ACROSS THE UPSTATE SC THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS AND DURINGTHE AFTERNOON HOURS ACROSS THE NC PIEDMONT. THEREFORE...DIURNALLYDRIVEN BUOYANCY WILL BE COMBINED WITH THE UPPER SUPPORT TO TRIGGERSCATTERED TO NUMEROUS CONVECTION MAINLY OVER THE MTNS...NC PIEDMONTAND EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE SC PIEDMONT. MODELS AGREE THAT UPSTATESC WILL REMAIN RATHER DRY DUE TO INCREASING H85 W/NW DOWNSLOPE WINDSAND NEGATIVE VORT ADVECTION BEHIND THE DEPARTING AXIS OF UPPER WAVE.HENCE...POPS REMAIN ON THE LOW SIDE OVER THE SC PIEDMONT WITH SOLIDCHANCE RANGE OF 40/50S ELSEWHERE. STORMS SHOULD MOVE ALONG QUICKERTODAY GIVEN A BIT STRONGER MEAN WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT...LOWERING THEFLASH FLOOD THREAT. HOWEVER...THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHEREXISTS MAINLY EAST OF THE NC BLUE RIDGE AND EASTERN PORTIONS OF THESC PIEDMONT AS NEARLY 2000J/KG OF SBCAPE WILL BE PRESENT DURING THEPASSAGE OF THE UPPER SHORTWAVE. THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE DAMAGINGWINDS FROM BETTER ORGANIZED STORMS.TONIGHT...EXPECT CONVECTION TO DIMINISH CONSIDERABLY DUE TO THE LOSSOF HEATING...NVA AND NW DOWNSLOPE WINDS. HOWEVER...SOME UPSLOPEINDUCED SHOWERS CAN BE SEEN OVER THE NORTHERN NC MTNS. TEMPERATURESWILL REMAIN NEAR NORMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 74 currently! GSP should just copy and paste that forecast for the rest of the summer, it's been the same for the past month and a half! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I got traced for about 42 seconds yesterday afternoon when I was mowing the weeds!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Ended up with 1.44" yesterday and 0.66" the day before. Very much needed rain and everything is looking green again. GFS has been hinting at an active period coming up the next couple weeks although it hasn't been doing a great job for my area the last couple months. Today, GSP is saying there could be a band of convection somewhere in the upstate where llc sets up downwind of the balsams. HRRR does show some qpf response later this afternoon and current radar shows some popcorn showers developing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crapper Jim Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Picked up .13 today. First measurable in about 12 days. Enough to settle the dust <Didn't get the bounty-of-plenty you received yesterday. A few stray drops. Witnessed a very nice rainbow to the east. Mowed the lawn 5 days ago. It hasn't grown at all. Some of the trees are dropping a lot of yellow and brown leaves. Looking like autumn... just a bit. <Curious to see how dry it might actually become. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crapper Jim Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I got traced for about 42 seconds yesterday afternoon when I was mowing the weeds!!! Yep... Mowing the weeds. Ain't no grass. Yer just choppin' the tops of the long stringy weeds, and creating "Dustnados" while doin' it. Sneezin', and sweatin', and cussin'... and dyin' to finish.

If the GFS is showing it, I wouldn't count on it! Although , I could see a storm blowing up off of the coast and putting me in the super-sinking air to the west ( my area) and causing even more drought! 86 and dry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yotaman Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 We had an early morning storm that dropped .27" and woke me up. This evening another storm rolled thru with .63" pushing us pass the 6" mark for June with 5 days left. Grass is very green and growing fast.
