cbmclean Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 The line currently moving through NC is falling apart. This is about the 12,000th time this summer that impressive stuff made its way through western NC and died before reaching the east of Raleigh zone.

Solak Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 .14" yesterday and overnight. .55" for the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I picked up 0.56 inch of rainfall after midnight. Nice surprise as I thought it was all falling apart in NC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinstonSalemArlington Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 As of yesterday, RDU is running .4 degrees below normal temperatures for August, and .39 inches below normal in precipitation. Not bad at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Brad Panovich Meteorologist added 2 new photos. 1 min · 24 hr rainfall across the area. Yes, a few spots where completely dry but this is by far the best coverage I have seen in a long time. Clearly Southeastern Mecklenburg into Union Co. was a huge with flash flooding last night 4-5" there. #ncwx #scwx #cltwx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 0.20" total. Just took a look at the 6z GFS and it looks like things will be getting back to the new normal again. 12z NAM has rain for pretty much the same areas that have received rain for the last 2 day. HRRR looks pretty similar with no rain for Spartanburg or Cherokee Counties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Had to do a double take at the mesoanalysis when I just looked at it. Wasn't expecting it to look so good before noon. Sbcape is 2500. Mucape is around 2000. Dcape is 600. Lift is -5. PWATS are still high at 1.8. The models sure don't show anything good for the eastern upstate, but maybe today will be our day......or maybe not lol. Edit: Cape is nearing 3000 now and lift is up to -6. Radar starting to light up to the west. It better rain today!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Sun is out in Raleigh. Had a shower early this morning. Storms are in the forecast for today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Looks to me like the storms are going to be perfectly positioned for me to get nada again. Par for the course. I think the HRRR and NAM is going nail this for mby. If I just went by precip totals I would have thought we are still in NW flow because the same areas are getting left out again, even with SW flow. What is causing this area to miss everything? Can't be downsloping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downsloping is back tomorrow to cut chances down and then the weekend looks dry. Maybe a chance next Mon with another front. The 12z GFS says we will be lucky to get .50 over the next 16 days.

Solak Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 There's a tiny thunderbumper off to the SW of here that's trying to rattle stuff off the shelves and walls. Expecting the cereal to jump out of the cabinets any minute! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Radar is looking a little better. It's filled in some, but the way things have gone when we were supposed to get rain, I have my doubts. Mby seems to do better with lucky isolated storms than with any widespread rain events. It has to be way back early in the year when a widespread event didn't underperform for mby. Maybe this winter the opposite will be true and mby will be in the jackpot zone. It has to even out eventually, right? Edit: Had another one of our famous 10 second shower. Seems like somes storms are started to converge on mby. This better not be another tease.

sparklecity Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Now entering Spartanburg = Now Falling Apart. Now it's shooting northward and is going to miss mby. Only shot is the strong cell at the end of the storms. I'm not holding my breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 lol now the strong part is weakening just as it enters Spartanburg. Wth is wrong with this area? Why can't we sustain any thunderstorms or rain without it evaporating? I used to think NW flow is our problem, but there is something else.

No snow for you Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Missed me altogether. Must have been just a mile wide if that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Poof! Like always. Not a single drop of rain. Doesn't matter if we have SW flow, cape of a million, or wind shear at 100 kts. Storms are going to evaporate in the eastern upstate and into NC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparklecity Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 May not look good in your backyard, but that radar looks pretty good in NC. Yep, same areas get rain over and over while the areas that are dry get nothing. There has to be another underlying factor to my areas dryness. Switching from NW to SW doesn't solve anything in this small region. Almost all my rain this summer is just from lucky isolated storms. If it weren't for those we would have about 2 or 3 inches of rain this entire summer. The goods news is I can go jog and have 0% worry of getting caught in a storm.

Would love to see the rain amounts in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Whoever is getting anything is sure getting it good. The storms that just missed us at 2:00 are still just over the county line. Nothing is moving fast at all this evening, so even if you're just getting light showers, it 'appears' that they might be there a while. Better than zipping through at 55mph.

yotaman Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Picked up .20" so far today. Some areas near Jacksonville picked up 2 to 4" today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharonA Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 It seems like just a few weeks ago you guys to the east were getting hammered every day, and we central-GA-ians could only sit and watch stuff bypass us - or worse, form right overhead but not drop anything before it crossed the county line. Now we've been getting heavy afternoon storms, lots of water. Today's had times where visibility was less than 20', cars hydroplaning, and high winds. The last two miles went from "OK that's not something I like seeing right over my house, but at least it's not shot through with hail coloration" to white-knuckle drive in a couple of minutes.

sparklecity Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 There's some spots in Cherokee County that haven't seen a drop of rain lol. Just looked at the storm totals again....depressing. There's about 4 or 5 counties around Spartanburg that are getting the shaft. These are the same counties that have all summer. Go take a look at the 90 day totals and compare to the totals the last few days. The minima is almost identical for the areas around the upstate. It rained 2 drops while I was jogging.

WinstonSalemArlington Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Flooding is becoming a serious threat in portions of southeast Mecklenburg and western Union Counties, which had three to four inches of rain last night. Radar indicates that nearly 8 inches of rain has fallen in Hemby Bridge since last night! Today, Flooding is already reported in those areas.
