superjames1992 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 If it continues to rain until 10 PM or so, it will basically have been raining (with a few breaks) for about 72 consecutive hours. It had barely rained all month until Thursday, so I guess we're making up for lost time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had barely rained all month until Thursday, so I guess we're making up for lost time. Already passed 72 hours here. We started around 5 PM on Thursday night. I just hit 3.70 inches storm total. This system has been incredible! A continual, slow, steady rainfall that has soaked into the ground rather than running off. Exactly what the parched earth has needed here.

Agreed, big difference with the soaking nature of the rains we have gotten. Slow and steady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowless in Carrollton Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Not much rain here. It looks like i'm about the only person in GA, SC, NC that hasn't had much rain over the last few days. Lots of drizzle though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Someone should extend the date of this thread Brad Panovich Verified account @wxbrad 8h8 hours ago That's some juicy air coming from the Gulf Tuesday into Wednesday. #ncwx #scwx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCSNOW Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Absoloutely Solak: I;ve been below 70 degrees since Thursday which was the last time I've seen the sun, stars or what have you. The asphalt hasn't even dried out not one time since then, still getting mist drizzle this a.m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The asphalt hasn't even dried out not one time since then, still getting mist drizzle this a.m. Same here. No celestial beings viewing has occurred in Hickory either since Thursday. I don't believe I'll see the sun again until Friday. Light drizzle continuing here, as well. I have measured greater than one inch of rainfall on each of the last three days: Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Just an amazing, and much-needed, event!

NCSNOW Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Don't let Brick read the long term AFD from Raleigh. Sounds like next weekend is gonna be an exact repeat of this past weekend.

NCSNOW Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Can't resist: .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...AS OF 327 AM MONDAY...UNCERTAINTY IN THE FORECAST IS ABOUT AS HIGH AS CAN BE ADVERTISEDFROM MID WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND. THE OPERATIONAL MODELS CONTINUE TOSHOW PLENTY OF SPREAD AND EVEN THE ENSEMBLE MEANS ARE CONFLICTING ONTHE PLACEMENT OF THE IMPORTANT WEATHER PRODUCING SYSTEMS. THE MAINWEATHER HAZARDS SHOULD BE LIMITED TO A LOW END HEAVY RAIN THREAT...BUT SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL MAY BE MORE OF A HELP TO CURRENT DROUGHTSTATUS THAN IT WOULD BE A THREAT FOR FLOODING. THE QPF MID TO LATEWEEK IS THE MAIN QUESTION AS ABOUT 30 PERCENT OF THE MODELS INDICATETHE HEAVIEST RAIN INLAND WITH OVERRUNNING RAINS AGAIN THU NIGHT INTOSATURDAY... WHICH 70 PERCENT OF THE MODELS SUPPORT THE HEAVY SWATHOF QPF ALONG OR JUST OFF THE MID-ATLANTIC COAST.ONE THING SEEMS TO BE MORE CERTAIN SHOULD BE THE COOLER TEMPERATURESAGAIN AS ANOTHER STRONG SURFACE HIGH IS EXPECTED TO BUILD SOUTH INTONC/SC THURSDAY INTO THE WEEKEND. THIS OCCURS AS A TROUGH ALOFT ANDLINGERING LOW LEVEL BOUNDARY CONTINUE TO BE FORECAST BY MOST MODELSTO BRING A CONTINUATION OF THE UNSETTLED PATTERN THAT BEGAN LATELAST WEEK. A RETURN TO A PROLONGED NE FLOW... CONSIDERABLECLOUDINESS... AND POSSIBLY SIGNIFICANT RAIN IS EXPECTED THU-SAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems there was mention of gulf T storms robbing moisture , will hear about that all winter! I'd say an inch is possible imby, but that may be overestimating !

calm_days Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 http://www.atmos.washington.edu/~ovens/wxloop.cgi?wv_central+/100h This is quite interesting to watch due to how large the second/Gulf ULL is becoming.

NRVwxfan. Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Another morning where the radar showed little precip, but alot of rain had fallen. Very interesting how the rain seems to evade the radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Rain, rain, and more rain. After picking up .48" yesterday, we have so far picked up .77" today and it is still raining with some thunder thrown in. This puts us at about 3.52" for this event and 6.55" for the month.

yotaman Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Steady moderate rain now. Up to 1.05" for the day which puts me at 3.80" for the event. 6.83" for the month. Looks like I will break both 4" for the event and 7" for the month. Yard is water logged now. It's still raining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJF0602 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 It's going to be interesting to see how this week plays out and how much moisture the tropical systems bring; Here in Jville its raining heavy again surprise, surprise. I honestly cannot remember the last time I saw the sun down here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Another morning where the radar showed little precip, but alot of rain had fallen. Very interesting how the rain seems to evade the radar. It's been mostly a drizzle for the most part around Lexington, SC with heavier drops mixed in. Definitely enough to soak everything with empty radar since the droplets are so small maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I guess this belongs here? Or somewhere? NWS Charleston, SC @NWSCharlestonSC 18s19 seconds ago Another round of moderate coastal flooding this evening. #scwx #gawx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Rain has ended for now. We topped off at 1.21" for the day which has bought my event total up to 3.96" and monthly total to 6.99". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 Pretty insane 7 day coming up if these totals are right especially for most of NE and given what has already fallen in most of the SE another 2-3" is a lot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjwise Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 The BCB METAR died in the middle of the night, which is always an ominous sign.
