Cold Rain Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Yipppee! Dry and 85. Hate to get all shetley on y'all , but the weekend washout with heavy rain threat, really was a bust! I got lucky to get half an inch last night Just a couple days ago, it looked like you were going to get a goodly amount. [brick] These models suck and can't be trusted. [/brick] Letting up here now. Picked up about an inch, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Rain Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Where the heck are you? Your profile says Raleigh, but there's no rain there You must be between me and Fuquay.. Yeah, that's about right. SE Wake. Just to the right and slightly down from the strongest echoes currently in Wake Co. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburns Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 No rain today, it's all to my south and east. However, the much cooler temperatures are appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Hot and dry today. Just had our daily dry outflow boundary pass through to cool things down and give us a nice breeze. Would be nice to get a tstorm again one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 Very breezy out and skies are very chaotic, low clouds whipping off to the SW, thunderheads behind them when you can see breaks. Really need that convection near Spartanburg that's trying to move west, to link up with convection over Anderson, that looks to be building Easy, it's a stretch, but it's trying! Down to 80.4 and very breezy, gusts to 25-30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaggy Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Couple of pics from flooding around work today. One is a creek that runs beside the property and one is a parking lot. The parking lot pic actually has the deep( 2 feet) gutter in it. Its the 2 lines on the right. The ditch in the back feeds that gutter and you can tell it was way backed up. The parking lot had a few inches of water in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Rain Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Since yesterday afternoon the NWS radar estimate shows about 4-5" at my house, in the purple circle. I don't think we quite got that much, but it's been pouring. Anyway, I can't complain for at least the next week or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wow Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 0.12" Woohoo! Pretty sure everywhere around a 15 mile radius are going to have significantly higher rain totals for the summer than I will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCsandhills Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 3" over the past 24 hours. Still a light rain. Today's forecast says heavy t-storms especially during the afternoon. 1-2" of rain. Tonight's says the same thing. Surprised there is no flood watch at the very least? Seems like a flood warning is warranted. Just drove the kids to school about an hour ago and the roads were certainly ponding in many locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Rain Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 One CoCoRaHS station over by you reported in with 4.11" in the past 24 hours. Solak, what site do you use to get these obs? I downloaded the WeatherBug app and it won't let you type in your address for a location (at least I can't find a way to do it). I'd like to use an official ob station as a proxy.

Solak Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I'm a member of CoCoRaHS (It's free to register) . They have an incredible database that's searchable. I don't know if it's searchable without a reporting station, since I'm logged in all the time anyways http://cocorahs.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
