Dunkman Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Just had a 65 dbz return move over my house in this storm. Pretty intense. Frequent lighting, very strong winds and some small hail. Good storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 A lone storm has popped up just the southeast of me and its cloud top has block the sun but even without the sun, it is still 94 with a dew point of 80. Heat index at 115. Hopefully that storm will drop some rain on us and drop the temp down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 Deluge here at work with lone storm over upstate at the moment! Dry at my abode! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Finally got some rain last night. It held together just long enough to get something. Picked up .25" and hopefully we get more today. It's currently cloudy however so it's probably going to limit our instability. PWATS are higher today so if we can get under anything it should be an efficient rainfall maker.

mackerel_sky Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 Dry and humid 86! The rain missing me everyday is getting laughable! Missed west and north last night, big complex forming today and missing me by 20-30 miles SE, ha ha ha ha ha haha ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jshetley Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Still no meaningful rain over here either and anything that comes my way seems to fall apart. It's raining lightly now but will end up not amounting to much. We need the tropical system the GFS had for so long to come up in here since that's the only way much of upstate SC gets good rain this summer I think.

sparklecity Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 That was a very weak rain. Storms forming all around us but not here. At least we got .25 last night. Looks like this is gonna be Columbia and Charlotte's day instead of GSP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like this is gonna be Columbia and Charlotte's day instead of GSP. I'm afraid that's how this entire summer will be. Simply because even in very dry summers the I-77 corridor still gets rain. No real in rain here in almost 3 weeks now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wow Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Whew... quite a blow up of storms/hvy rains just south of me and moving north. Hope to pick up plenty of rain with this one. Currently raining with a bit of thunder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crapper Jim Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Gust front coming through now. Only thing in the air is dust. As usual few miles north is getting a nice storm. Maybe tomorrow...I'm not holding my breath. I'm expecting to wake up to cloudy skies and pops dropped to 20-30%. I'm old. Went to bed about 8:00 last night. Heard some powerful rain roll through afterwards. Local news says it was wind, not rain. Only lasted 2-3 minutes... max. Kinda pee*d me off. I was having REM Sex. Discovered 4 of my cats were sleeping in my bed at the time. Not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Grabbed .34" from that line as it passed through. Wonder how much blew over the top of the gauge Here it is, almost an hour later, and steam is still rising from the roads in front of the house. They've really been soaking up the heat these last few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crapper Jim Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 It's been I-77 since January. Saw the storms today moving N-NE a couple hours ago. The slice shot is putting them east of Charlotte as the heat dies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Rain Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Drove through the hardest rain I have seen in a long time on the way home. The winds were gusty, but there was nothing severe. Went for a run after I got home and ran through lots of steam. It was steamy! It is going to be think out there all night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookingnorth Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 It dropped from 89 to 72 as a strong thunderstorm passed through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalicwx366 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 T today. Won't even complain because of yesterday. The storms did some crazy things to dodge the area today. 80% chances never work out. Here are the rainfall totals for the SE for the year based on radar estimates. My backyard has 29.79 inches for the year so I'm guessing this map is accurate except for the times when it underestimates how much rain is falling. It also doesn't have the rain that fell across the SE yesterday added. Area near mobile is near 70 inches of rain for the year. I will delete this if it is too big.

Wow Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Accurate for me as well. I have 20.76" recorded from my PWS for the year so far. 0.18" so far today. T today.

metalicwx366 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 No lie.....this is like hurricane rain. Total whiteout and swirling too!!What do think the winds were with that storm? Sounds close to something like we had yesterday. 80 and just finished raining. Picked up 0.09. Also had a double rainbow in the sky. Took several photos of it. Also our neighbor need to do something about that big *** tree branch hanging over there house. If that sucker snaps off the tree and rolls off the roof, that is going to do some damage. Probably a 100% chance of busting some windows over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Looks like the Piedmont just East of the 77 corridor is the big winner tonight in rain totals. Happy for you guys out that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took out two fairly good size trees at the tops, not the root ball. Snapped em off in the swirling winds. At least 2.5 inches so far today and still coming in from the south. Tree damage across the triad between last night and tonight is fairly significant. Not ice storm, but significant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharonA Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 For the last 15-20 minutes I've been hearing rumbles from the west. The line is currently straddling the AL/GA border and man, it's noisy. It's a lot more thunder than I'd expect at this distance from a cell that is not already a big SVR. The radar is nowhere near as impressive as the advance sound - that cell has some growin' up to do, real fast, or be sued for false advertising. Today was mostly overcast, with little heavier patches passing over headed NNE, but as the afternoon went on the motion shifted more E than N. We had one patch of good soaking rain, and a couple of drive-by sprinklings. There was very little clear sky for the afternoon heating to get through, until after 5pm.

sparklecity Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Right on queue that blob of convection starts weakening as it enters Spartanburg county. Today storms have tracked through the western upstate and eastern upstate towards I-77 but not much in b/w. Just can't get under anything decent anymore. Even when we get likely pops something like cloud cover or convection along the gulf always manages to screw it up. I can't recall any event that hasn't underperformed since the January snow bust.

yotaman Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 We had another .32 inches this morning. Atmosphere is very juiced up right now. Currently sitting at 81 with a dew point of 76. Humidity is at 87%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburns Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Another .56 last night. That gives me over 2" in the last three days with very little, if any, runoff. Never had a real downpour, just a steady soaking rain while it lasted. It's very green here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEGa Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 so far this week the storms have been a complete no-show. big ones disappear just as they approach mby lol - maybe a handful of flashes and a few gusts. however, i guess i shouldnt complain seeing how dry a lot here still are. even without the storms, the rainfall total has managed to top 1.25" over the last couple of days although it would be nice to have a good storm make it to mby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
