mackerel_sky Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 If you look at sattelite right now, you can see clouds and moisture being pulled torwards SC off of Joaquin about to start the firehose!

I think Raleigh NWS is struggling. I was supposed to get 1 to 2" today. I've gotten 0.2" Now the forecast says heavy rain but look at the amounts. This Afternoon Rain. The rain could be heavy at times. High near 56. Northeast wind around 18 mph, with gusts as high as 36 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL...yeah, typo, it should say very light non impactful misting today, partly could through the weekend. The showers coming in over the NC/SC border should move NW of here and then the heavy bands should develop in western NC and SC over night, not 10"+ heavy though.

BIG FROSTY Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Well this is a BIG surprise, after getting little rain last 2 days (which was suppose to have been very rainy) Just like a winter storm. LET DOWN! lol. Over the last few days I've went from 10-29 inches to maybe 1-2 now. lol again! NWS Blacksburg @NWSBlacksburg 48s48 seconds ago We have lowered the rainfall totals, but the flooding threat still remains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amos83 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Brad P. had a great disco this morning about how things would unfold today. The fire hose wont start making its way inland until Joaquin begins the trek North. The north movement allows the ULL to dig further south which will then reconfigure the moisture transport more SE to NW which then causes the hose to point more toward the central and western parts of SC and NC. People need to relax. We have to wait until Joaquin starts to move out of the way which it is starting to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormyClearweather Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 This will get interesting very quickly. NWS has upped the totals for most in the Upstate, but I'm still struggling to believe we'll get this much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HWY316wx Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 AREA FORECAST DISCUSSIONNATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA340 PM EDT FRI OCT 2 2015.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...DID NOT MAKE TO MANY CHANGES TO THE CURRENT FORECAST. I DID RAISEPOPS JUST A BIT MAINLY ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE STATE AS MODELSARE COMING INTO AGREEMENT WITH THE PLACEMENT OF THE MAIN MOISTUREPLUME EXPECTED TO SET UP ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAYMORNING.MAIN UPPER LOW IS CURRENTLY SPINNING OVER THE AL/FL BORDER AND ISEXPECTED TO STAY FAIRLY STATIONARY THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS. WHILETHIS UPPER LOW IS SPINNING THE MOISTURE PLUME SETS UP MAINLY OVER SCWITH A DIRECT CONNECTION TO HURRICANE JOAQUIN. THIS WILL BRING VERY HEAVY AMOUNTS OF PRECIP TO SC BUT THIS PLUME DOES CREEP INTO EASTERNPORTIONS OF GA AS WELL. PWS GET ABOVE 1.7 INCHES ACROSS THAT AREABEGINNING SAT AFTERNOON AND STAY ABOVE THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. STORM TOTAL QPF NUMBERS ARE SHOWING AN ESTIMATED 3 TO 8 INCHES ACROSSEASTERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE FROM NOW TO MONDAY MORNING. WE HAVECONTINUED THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING BUT WITH THEWAY THINGS ARE PROGRESSING WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE IT EXTENDEDTHROUGH MONDAY. THE BIGGEST CAVEAT WILL BE JUST EXACTLY WHERE THISPLUME SETS UP TONIGHT. IF I`S EAST OF WHERE WE ARE CURRENTLYTHINKING...THEN EASTERN GA WILL NOT SEE MUCH. IF ITS SETS UP JUST 50MILES WEST OF WHERE WE ARE THINKING...EASTERN GA AND PORTIONS OF THEATL AREA WILL HAVE MORE TO DEAL WITH THAN WE ARE CURRENTLY THINKING. WE WILL BE WATCHING THIS VERY CLOSELY AND ADJUSTING AS WE START TOSEE HOW THINGS ARE PROGRESSING. ONE OF THE GOOD THINGS WITH THIS ISWE ARE NOT SEEING MUCH IN THE WAY OF INSTABILITY OF THIS SYSTEM SOKEEPING THE MENTION OF THUNDER OUT OF THE FORECAST AFTER 00Z SAT.TEMPS EXPECTED TO BE MAINLY IN THE 50S FOR LOW AND 60S FOR HIGHS.

NRVwxfan. Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 It's the same general hurricane/winter storm/tornado outbreak plan every family should have, in case the need to evacuate or being "cut off" for a few days. I've prepared the best I can to cover my bases. Firewood,charcoal,candles,batteries,vehicles filled up, important things in protective cases and readily accessible, route out in gps, ice, water, food, drinks, etc. Xenia, AZ flooding in Tucson,Blizzards, Hugo, earthquakes....this is one more to check off You forgot the adult beverages.

Solak Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 RAH says "Go West or South"... WE STILL EXPECT A MORE SOLID AREA OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN TO TRANSLATE WESTWARD THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT... SUPPORTED BY CONTINUED VIGOROUS MOIST ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE AND STRONG UPPER DIVERGENCE AND ACCOMPANYING THE BAND OF HIGHER PW PIVOTING WESTWARD THROUGH CENTRAL NC. BASED ON MODEL CONSENSUS... EXPECT AN ADDITIONAL 1-3 INCHES... HIGHEST WEST HALF... WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS... ON TOP OF WHAT'S ALREADY FALLEN. WINDS FROM THE NORTHEAST HAVE HELD IN THE RANGE OF 10-16 KTS SUSTAINED WITH FREQUENT GUSTS TO 20-30 MPH AND A FEW GUSTS OVER 30 MPH... LARGELY UNDER ADVISORY CRITERIA BUT SUFFICIENT TO DOWN TREES AND POWER LINES. WE'LL REMAIN IN A TIGHT MSLP PATTERN BETWEEN THE STRONG CANADIAN HIGH WELL TO OUR NORTH AND THE LOW PRESSURE TROUGH ALONG THE SE COAST THROUGH SAT NIGHT... AND WITH LITTLE CHANGE IN THIS CONFIGURATION... HAVE EXTENDED THE WIND ADVISORY IN TIME FOR THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA UNTIL 8 AM SUNDAY. IT IS WORTH NOTING THAT IF A BIT STRONGER SURFACE LOW FORMS OVER SC TOMORROW AS A COUPLE OF MODELS SUGGEST...THIS WOULD EFFECTIVELY INCREASE THE MSLP GRADIENT... RESULTING IN STRONGER SURFACE WINDS. TEMPS SHOULD ONLY MOVE A FEW DEGREES FROM TODAY'S TEMPS... TO LOWS FROM THE LOW 50S NW TO THE LOWER 60S SE. SAT/SAT NIGHT: WHILE THE RISK OF A FEW DOWNED TREES SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH SAT NIGHT... THE THREAT OF FLOODING RAINS IS MUCH LESS CERTAIN. MODELS INDICATE THE BEST FORCING FEATURES (INCLUDING UPPER DIVERGENCE) AND MOISTURE (INCLUDING PW AND LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TRANSPORT) SHIFTING TO OUR WEST AND SW BY SAT MORNING... LEADING TO A DRASTIC REDUCTION IN QPF IN ALL BUT THE SW PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. TRENDS OF LATEST CONVECTION ALLOWING MODELS FOLLOW THIS PATTERN AS WELL. THUS... HAVE TRENDED POPS DOWNWARD TO 50-70% OVER ALL BUT THE SW CWA... WHERE CATEGORICAL RAIN CHANCES WILL BE RETAINED BENEATH STILL-POTENT LIFT AND MOISTURE. ALSO EXPECT A SIGNIFICANT DROP IN OVERALL AMOUNTS AS FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW DECENT MID-UPPER LEVEL DRYING TO ACCOMPANY THE FALLING PW VALUES. AND WE MAY EVEN SEE A PERIOD OF SUNSHINE ESPECIALLY FROM THE TRIANGLE TO THE EAST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Getting final preps complete. Looks like the Central Midlands of SC have model consensus of a historic flood happening very soon. You guys stay safe! Around here, we have people who still don't understand things will be bad even without a landfall. Guess they'll have to learn the hard way.

Pilotwx Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 We will see but the models usually back off totals to the north because they create maxiums farther south .
