Crapper Jim Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Been lucky here... with spotty cells, lately. Nothing big. Cool - 78, not much sun. Humidity has risen quickly since this morn (actually felt 'dry'). Spotty activity. Still early. Hoping for a "Sharknado" soon... or, at least, a "Frognado". <Haven't even looked at the tropics this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Another .22 fell around lunch time today. Nothing but good soaking rains so far this month. The yard is loving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalicwx366 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 0.01 today. So lame when that happens especially when the storms are right there. No I am not complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crapper Jim Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Looks "weak" here. 100-mile gap between the mountains and Charlotte. Who got rain in Greenville? I saw 40-50 drops an hour ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jshetley Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Another day and yet another miss from 2 decent chances. Not 1 drop of rain and now the forecasts seem to hint that storms coverage goes down from here for at least 6-7 days. And by the way the drought monitor shows that dryness is starting to appear in parts of NC and SC. I'd expect that to spread over the next few weeks.

sparklecity Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 No rain here. Storms were a few miles north and south earlier. Mostly cloudy at the moment so I doubt we get anything significant. 90% pops in my grids to start...now down to 60%. Give it another couple hours it will be down to 30%. .25" in 16 days with thunderstorms in the forecast basically everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solak Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Was all set to go mow the weeds and grass after the noontime ¼" had evaporated off the weeds and blades of grass, then got hit with another heavy shower that dropped .40" in 30 minutes at 5:00. No big winds with either storm today, thank goodness. It's cooled down a little, but still has that Jimmy Buffett tropical feel to it when you step outside. Just a degree or 2 from being muggy.

sparklecity Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Storms just a couple miles north again. Gonna be another miss unless that blob pivots. What was moving northeast and primed to hit us takes a northward turn for another near miss and only drizzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was moving northeast and primed to hit us takes a northward turn for another near miss and only drizzle. It's going to take a tropical system for us and the 2 that post from Greenville and Laurens counties to get good rain. And I don't see that happening anytime soon.

Solak Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Looking at RADAR, it appears that the afternoon is starting out with a lot of scattered popcorn showers. Wonder how things will progress through the afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharonA Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Until five minutes ago, there was lots of thunder here from the cell traveling along the south edge of Douglas County. It looks markedly weaker now on the latest scan. No rain for me from that one as it was a few miles S of here. We did get the overcast from it, which cut down on the direct-sun-heating. It's been overcast a good chunk of the day, with only a few breaks for the sun to do its thing. There are other cells popping up on radar, activity seems to be picking up as the afternoon progresses. I wonder if this will continue the streak of Atlanta getting a SVR on Friday afternoon to trash rush hour. Granted, rush hour is usually trashed anyhow, even moreso in summer when the vacation travelers on the interstates pass through ... but a SVR doesn't help at all.

sparklecity Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Managed to scrape out a couple tenths of rain last night. That puts us a little under a half inch of rain in 17 days. HRRR looks promising for this afternoon in the upstate even though we only have a token chance in our forecast grids. Radar looks pretty quiet right now though other than some popcorn showers. The HRRR has been pretty good the last few days for our area so maybe it will get that big blob of precip over the entire upstate right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 After getting a total of .87 inches yesterday, we once again have rain today. So far its up to .40 and counting. We are quickly approaching 3 inches for the month and it's only the 13th. Loving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jshetley Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I would not count on any rain today in the GSP metro. According to GSP we would have decent to widespread coverage by now, but radar shows not 1 cell anywhere close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 That skinny line of showers that was going through the Raleigh area just went 'poof' as it got to the Wake/Johnston line. Hmmmmm... at least it allowed me time to do yesterday's mowing this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crapper Jim Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Need that line to hold up crossing the mountains and dropping SE to hold together. It would probably get here between 7-9 pm, if it holds Same lines as yesterday. Mountains to a bit east of Charlotte... 100 miles of dry in-between. I'm guessing a good met can explain this.

sparklecity Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 The line looks to be moving east right now, maybe a tick southward. I think it may hold up as long as it doesn't get hung up and we lose our heating. GSP says best forcing through 00z and sbcape ranging from 2000-3000. Would be nice for this line to get here before dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparklecity Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Very nice storm. Picked up almost an inch with 50 mph wind gusts. Also had about a 5 minute period of pea sized hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jshetley Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Still nothing here in Union county and anything coming our way either changes direction or falls apart. I'd bet even a hurricane coming through the upstate would split this area somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crapper Jim Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 What's left here is like kissing your sister's big toe. Northern Mecklenburg County, where my son lives... looks exciting. Rock Hill, just south of NC/SC Line, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
