yotaman Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 We got a good .56" out of the storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaur Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I got .3 inches of wet rain yesterday afternoon, when the last shower in a line coming down, stumbled while trying to miss me, and fell right on top of my yard. That's .3 more than I've seen in a month, so I was pretty frightened, but calmer thoughts prevailed in the end, so I got nekked and danced around the yard...which caused the rain to stop. I won't be doing that again until a TD comes up, and there is a better chance of the rain outlasting the nekked dance T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalicwx366 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Mack did you get anything from that severe thunderstorm? TWC said it was some wind damage from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Everything has managed to miss us again. Temp is down to 80 and storms in the mountains look to be heading towards us, but I'm sure once they hit our worked over atmosphere they will dissapate. Once again 60% pops and no rain. This happens 9 out of 10 times this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 Mack did you get anything from that severe thunderstorm? TWC said it was some wind damage from it.No! . That was about 10 miles north of me, I didn't even get the ground wet! Totally collapsed over my house. I'm a firm believer in drought begets drought, and we are in a drought at my house. When we do get a storm once every 10 days or so, they produce .25 of precip or less every single time! I hope drought brings a cold snowy winter, if so, 2014-2015 winter will be bangin'!!! . Currently sunny and muggy and dry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I finally reaped the rewards of decent afternoon shower. Combined with the early morning rainfall, I've now garnered 0.78 inch of rainfall since midnight. The dry, parched earth around Hickory really needed that.

calculus1 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Mack and sparklecity, this is for you. Abnormally dry areas in upstate SC are quite prevalent. I'm surprised the immediate western piedmont of NC is not also shaded in yellow. Here is the estimated rainfall totals from the past 14 days. You can once again see that those of us hanging out in the shadow of the Apps have been disadvantaged by the downsloping. The minimum area of rainfall does appear to now stretch further east too along I-40 until you get near or just beyond Raleigh. On the other hand, for whatever reason, the Charlotte metro area has been a magnet for abundant rainfall this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowless in Carrollton Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Was beginning to think I would go all of July without a drop of rain. Came home and there was 2.70" in the rain gauge ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And here's the link so you can access whenever you want: http://www.srh.noaa.gov/ridge2/RFC_Precip/ Not sure why we can't get a storm to pop up. The storms pop up in the same areas everyday. Look at today's radar, then look at the past 14 days. We are in a worst position than upstate SC. It actually should be no precipitation on that map in this area.

mackerel_sky Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 It's dry and hot! 85 already! The strongest cold front of the summer looks to be coming through in the very early morning hours of Tuesday, this majorly limiting our chances for convection and rain! We just can't buy a break. It was forecasted a few days ago, to arrive at peak heating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 Have 2 temp sensors outside, not fancy with cooling towers or fans and such, but in the shade and approx 6 ft off the ground. One says 97.6 and the other 100.3! Pullover! No it's a cardigan, but thanks for noticing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
