Wow Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 1.56'' this afternoon. A 4 hour power outage because of the wicked lightning,worst all summer in that category. Wow.. I heard it close by but only got 0.03" of rain. Once again, another close call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Things are going to have to get going soon if we're going to see any of our 50% 40% this afternoon. Front has passed through and we have P/C and a pleasant NE breeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 81 with a north wind here so the front is right overhead here, DP is 73 RH 79% its gonna be close I might be just north enough to not get in on the showers firing along the front to the south of me......surface cape shows the fronts location pretty well I think...

NCsandhills Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Very, very, very dark out to my east. Constant rolling thunder and light rain. Bulk of it going to slide just east of me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparklecity Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Outflow boundaries everywhere in the Upstate right now. Had a big blob of convection heading right at me, but now it jogged due north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jshetley Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Outflow boundaries everywhere in the Upstate right now. Had a big blob of convection heading right at me, but now it jogged due north. I would expect another nice blob to form soon, but it will be to my north and your east. Gaffney is probably in line to get at least 1 inch during the next 1-2 hours. And the other goes north of both of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solak Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Hmmm --- this doesn't make sense.... WRAL during commercials just now said "Our weekend is trending drier.

ADDITIONAL ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WITH VERY HEAVY RAIN ARE EXPECTED LATER TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING IN AND CLOSE TO THE WATCH AREA. WIDESPREAD RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 2 INCHES ARE EXPECTED WITH LOCALLY 3 TO 4 INCHES POSSIBLE. ANY ADDITIONAL RAINFALL WILL RUNOFF RAPIDLY...

calculus1 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 2.12 inches of rainfall overnight IMBY. About a third of that before midnight, and the rest after. The thunder and lightning were pretty much constant after 10 PM until 2 AM. The weather radio kept going off every 20 minutes or so with a new flood warning, frequently enough that I finally unplugged it and tore the batteries out. I have a love/hate relationship with that radio. No mowing this morning... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 .04" overnight with a very damp fog this morning. Not quite a mist, but almost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wow Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Ok it did eventually rain but not until after midnight. Picked up 1.02" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Rain is diminishing as it approaches from the SW. I tend to do this probably too often, and too soon, but I'm beginning to doubt the need for the flash flood watch we're currently under. I certainly don't want flooding conditions, but it just doesn't appear to be the threat it looked like yesterday. Guess we'll see as the day unfolds.

NC_hailstorm Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 1.06'' overnight 2.62'' storm total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 0.29" total from last night. Another underperformer underway and would be shocked if we picked more than another tenth or two. Pops already dropped to 50% today and 40% tonight and that is probably generous as well. At least we weren't under a flood watch for 3-4 days this time only to get sprinkles.

mackerel_sky Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 24.pngThat map is amazingly accurate ! There is a medium blue doughnut right over my house . That is .10-.25. Ground truth, . 26! Hoping for more today, plenty of moisture out there, humidity is insane and about as high as it can get around here, really feels tropical.

Whats amazing is there is a red spot about 10 miles NW of me, and Light blue about 15 miles S of me. Currently getting our 2nd thunderstorm of the day. First one hit around 8 this morning.
