jshetley Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I'll admit being wrong about parts of upstate SC, but that rain shield is now slowly shrinking in size and losing its strength. It should make it to I-26 but probably not much farther east. So far, only a small part of NC west of 77 has had decent rain so most of that is working out too. We are in a slight risk today, but the SPC seems to think the worst does stay south of us where the enhanced is. They have this located nicely and it should work out for them. That part of SC and GA is in for a rough day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 0.00" and everything still sliding south. Rain shields holding firm in mby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 Been raining off and on since about 6 am! Currently 73! Is this July 3 or October 3rd? Stratoform rain, FTW ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Rain has put on the brakes. Not advancing any further east into the northern half of Spartanburg. Rain has set up only a few miles south of me. I'm telling you we will not get any significant rain this week in mby. Can't wait for NWS observed precip to update to see it's ridiculousness. Edit: HRRR consistently has the precip too far north the last few days. I've been bumped to 80% pops so this will be the 3rd time I have had 80% pops in the last week and get piddly amounts.

sparklecity Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Everyone on here seems to be getting significant rain but me. 0.03" total for the week. The "Big Dry" continues for me. At least it's cloudy so I'm getting more efficient use of the sprinkler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NC_hailstorm Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 0.00 for July. Moderate drought intensifying here,would'nt be surprised to see it upgraded to severe drought soon. Terribly bone dry here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 PoP != QPF. Yes, I know. Just frustrated with the lack of anything decent here while others to my west and south are raking it in. All I'm getting is enough to wet the ground. It's the qpf that has been the problem here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That big rain shield fall apart just like I knew it would, and now these clouds mean another day is wasted. We have 2 days left to get something, then it turns drier and much warmer again.

I think we have a shotgun chance just about everyday the next week. Not that it means we will have significant rainfall, but something eventually has to get through the rain shield you would think.

jshetley Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 If the maps I just saw on facebook with the HRRR model are right, almost all of upstate SC will be dry tomorrow too. Down to Sunday to get rain here before it dries out and warms up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Sun is peeking out occasionally here so maybe we can get a little more instability going. There is some more activity out to the west so maybe this will be the one too reach us lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

featherwx Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Nice spring-like downpour here in Durham over the last half hour. This past week has been quite the turn-around from the heat and dryness we had in the middle of June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparklecity Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Little patch of showers is approaching mby currently. Possibly some moderate plus embedded in there as well. We'll see if I can get anything out of it. It won't take much to double my totals so far lol. Pretty sad I'm following something as lackluster as this on radar, but I'm a beggar right now.
