jburns Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Only 0.15" since midnight here, but the radar looks promising for later this afternoon. Unless the storms do what last nights did, and fall apart as they move north toward me. hmm The rain seems to be having trouble moving into northern Randolph. Still hopeful, but this looks familiar.

metalicwx366 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 One of these days it will rain. I have never been shafted before to this level that has been happening this month. 90, sunny, and extremely dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 The rain to my south continues to slam into a brick wall, though it might be making a little progress. EDIT: Oh, wait, it's actually backing south now. I have to wonder if today's high will be a record low maximum. It looks like the high today (so far, anyways) was 77 at 11 AM and it has since cooled off a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superjames1992 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 The latest RAP looks encouraging for the precipitation shield edging slightly a bit further north. Getting RAPped in the winter isn't bad enough. Let's do it in the middle of summer, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting RAPped in the winter isn't bad enough. Let's do it in the middle of summer, too. And it did. Totally fell apart. My 0.15" daily total early this morning has ballooned to 0.17" currently. That's about a .003" per hour rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 And it did. Totally fell apart. My 0.15" daily total early this morning has ballooned to 0.17" currently. That's about a .003" per hour rate. You beat me, jburns. I have garnered a whopping 0.00 inch of rainfall so far today. Loads of rainfall just to my south and east. And, boy, are the coastal regions of SC up to Columbia ever getting walloped with rainfall now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAD_Wedge_NC Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Picked up 1.44" today. Along with some mid-morning thunder. Nice Summer day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Looking at current RADAR, they may want to rethink the forecast. Showers and possibly a thunderstorm before 10pm, then a chance of showers. Low around 70. Light east wind. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.

Wow Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 PIcked up 0.22" today. Just SW of me hit the flood warning boxes. High of 74.8 today. I haven't seen 80+ degrees since 4:30pm last Thursday, over 4 days ago. Running around 2.4 degrees below norm for July based on my interpolated data.

yotaman Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 We had .23" yesterday evening. Today storms are building up all around and not moving much so where ever it rains it will rain big time. Nothing here so far. Currently 87 with a dew point of 78. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowless in Carrollton Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 +1. Tired of this crap this Summer. I don't even look at the forecast anymore. This Summer has become so predictable. I absolutely despise the hit and miss nature of summer storms. That's why summer is my least favorite season. More often than not you are missed instead of hit. There is no worse feeling than sitting high and dry while some place 5 miles away is getting drenched with 3 or 4" of rain. And when we have a 70-80% chance of storms I just have to laugh because I know with about 90% certainty that it won't rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the radar looked pretty good up your way yesterday, for a while anyway. You must have been right on the edge. Things are looking pretty sparse right now. We had a sprinkle earlier, but that's it so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
