mackerel_sky Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Good to see all this moderate drought falling behind the squall line! Looks like an hour or two of soaking drought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueRidgeFolklore Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Updated 2pm totals per are 1.77" today in Hendersonville. That brings the 7 day total to 6.3" We'll hit well above 2" for the day as the totals begin to creep in, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solak Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Jim CantoreVerified account @JimCantore 2h2 hours ago Additional rainfall needed to reduce Palmer Drought Index back to normal. 12-15"+ deficits are why streamflows remain low in the southeast.

Iceagewhereartthou Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 After a day of nonstop rain, periodic lightning, and windy conditions, it's eerily calm out there. Not even a hint of a breath of wind out there, fully overcast, roosters crowing, getting dark quick. 59/56. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharonA Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Woke up to amazing thunder and lightning show from a cell that passed to the south ... And another midday ... and a couple in the afternoon ... Otherwise today was just mostly overcast with patches of rain as scattered cells passed over or near. Twice we had SVR+TOR warned cells marching in, then splitting in half less than 20 miles away. The image is of the 2nd one of those cells, which came roaring in from Alabama with all eyes on it, had me doing one last check of my bug-out-to-the-basement-bag - then it hit the colder air and threw in the towel. After it passed by to the north and south (once again I get just some rain and light winds), we had a lovely period of afternoon sun and warmth. No cell around to take advantage of it, alas. Or Thankfully So, yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 For those near Atlanta, 24 hour storm total (detected by radar) has been about 2" to 4.3" inside the I-285 loop. The white to gray shades show 4"-5" on this image Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Picked up .93" yesterday and .76" this morning. This gives me 1.69" for this event. Winds are blowing very strong probably up in the 30-35mph range. Currently 75/47. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solak Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Haven't seen this much wind since Hurricane Matthew. Saw a 53mph gust over at Rocky Mount a while ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven_1974 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 A new batch of rain just came through RTP. I had thought we were done with the rain so some folks were caught out between buildings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookout Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 1 hour ago, Solak said: Haven't seen this much wind since Hurricane Matthew. Saw a 53mph gust over at Rocky Mount a while ago. yeah this wind has been pretty impressive. Had a top gust of 42 mph and looking around, it seems like most people got 40 to 45 mph gusts. Not too surprisingly, there have been quite a few trees blown down around the area per a guy i know that does tree work. Georgia power alone is showing around 10,000 without power..although some of that might be left over from yesterday. But from the scattered nature of the outages on the maps probably quite a few related to the wind today. Not too surprising given how much rain fell yesterday....ended up with 4.11 inches here. A lot of that fell in a short period of time yesterday morning and thanks to the tremendous runoff it actually nearly filled the ponds back up. On a side note, beautiful visible images of the post frontal cloud cover today from goes 16. The detail is so cool. http://weather.cod.edu/satrad/exper/?parms=srnmidat-02-24-1 btw, check out the visible meso southeast region. These are taken every one minute. just fyi, Below is 48 frames so it's pretty big but to really appreciate it, the bigger ones are the best. http://weather.cod.edu/satrad/exper/?parms=mesosoutheast-02-48-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burrel2 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Several gusts today over 35 mph on my weather station. Highest was 38mph at around 10am; which is the highest gust of the year so far for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 PGV recorded a gust to 47 and its been gusting into the upper 30's low 40's all day....calling for a low of 37 Friday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Much cooler today. After a low of 49 it is currently at 59/38. Looks like we are in for a weeks worth of dry boring weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Nice little example of wind tide at Washington. 2 days of strong W/NW winds blow the water out of the rivers.....me and my brother were duck hunting not far from this location a winter or two after Hurricane Floyd and we had a similar extended period of strong NW winds and as the sun came up over the decoys we noticed a large rectangular object across the lcove and it slowly dawned on us it was a coffin that was exposed due to the low water. The flooding in Floyd floated a lot of coffins and they had to send a sheriffs team in to try to recover it but they had a lot of trouble with the mud etc.....the water was rising again as the wind had laid up so it could still be there for all I know.

This is what the storm did here. It will be considered a historic crest but well short of the carnage of 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceagewhereartthou Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 34, not bad! Will be at least mid October before I see that again.
