cbmclean Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 As has been the case for most of the summer, Wilson just picks up crumbs. 0.12 today to go with our 0.11 last week. Luckily we had very good soaking over the July 4th weekend or else we'd be in danger of turning into a shetly-esque dust bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookout Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 21 hours ago, yotaman said: 21 days with no rain but we do have a 60% chance today. Got my fingers crossed. Currently 86/78. God knows i'm not complaining but it's been a fairly wet summer here. In fact it seems like it has rained most days. Incredibly, twice in 3 days in the past week i have gotten rain when there was hardly a pixel's worth of returns on radar for a hundred miles. Picked up a half inch several days ago where if you went a mile in any direction hardly a drop fell. Sadly, despite all the rain, the heat has been unbearable. I don't know if it's because i'm getting older or it's getting worse but damn every year it's more and more intolerable. Yesterday was just disgusting.

Solak Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 .32" last night. Not too far away in Harnett Co., some places got up to 5.79" from retraining storms. We lost the Internet for about 16 hours. Just came back on about 1:00 this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yotaman Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Only light rain so far totaling .06". One good thing is that is has bought much cooler temps. Currently 75/71. Hopefully a lot more rain is on it's way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solak Posted July 22, 2018 Author Share Posted July 22, 2018 Several rounds of t-storms overnight. 2.30" total. Really surprised how quickly the roadside ditches absorbed the runoff this morning. Guess that's the nature of it being so dry for so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CONCERNING...HEAVY RAINFALL...FLASH FLOODING POSSIBLE VALID 221830Z - 230000Z SUMMARY...INCREASING CONVECTION WITH TRAINING/REDEVELOPMENT LIKELY AND RAIN RATES UP TO 2"/HR POSE POSSIBLE FLASH FLOODING. DISCUSSION...STRONG HEATING BOUNDARY EXISTS ACROSS NORTHEASTERN NC WITH TEMPS RISING INTO THE LOW 90S ALONG THE COAST BUT LIMITED TO UPPER 70S ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL NC WHERE CLOUD COVER FROM THE EXITING MCV REDUCED INSOLATION. THIS BOUNDARY WAS WELL DEFINED IN THE EARLY MORNING CU FIELD AND RECENT SFC INFLOW HAS TIGHTENED THE BOUNDARY AND CONVERGENCE TO SPARK CONVECTIVE INITIATION. THE AMPLE MOISTURE IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S IN NE NC AND THE HEATING ALONG WITH MODERATE 6C/KM LAPSE RATES HAS SUPPORTED SBCAPES INTO THE 3000 J/KG RANGE. GIVEN DEEP MOISTURE AOA 1.75" PER SOUNDINGS/BLENDED TPW/GPS NETWORK...CELLS WILL HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO PRODUCE UP TO 2"/HR. THE 12Z SOUNDING IN MHX DOES SUGGEST SOME MODERATE DRY AIR TO HELP WITH COLD POOL GENERATION AND WITH INFLOW FROM THE COAST WOULD NORMALLY SUGGEST EASTWARD PROPAGATION. HOWEVER...WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE MCV AND UPSTREAM HEIGHT FALLS STILL ROUNDING THE BASE...THE MID-LEVEL TROF WILL FLATTEN (TIGHTENING THE GRADIENT TO THE WEST) STRENGTHENING THE UPPER LEVEL JET BUT ALSO RETROGRADING THE MID-LEVEL FORCING A BIT WESTWARD. AS SUCH THERE IS FAIRLY TIGHT HI-RES CAM AND RAPID REFRESH GUIDANCE SUGGESTING FAIRLY STATIC SSW TO NNE SFC MST CONVERGENCE BAND/UPDRAFT REDEVELOPMENT BAND FROM JOHNSTON/WAYNE COUNTIES IN NC TOWARD SURRY COUNTY VA. DEEP MEAN CELL MOTIONS WILL SUGGEST SOME WESTWARD BACK-SHEARING OF THE UPDRAFTS BUT OVERALL NORTHWARD MOVEMENT SUPPORTING TRAINING OF THE MEAN CORES. SUGGESTING 2-4" TOTALS POTENTIALLY GREATER FURTHER NORTH INTO SE VA WHERE INFLECTION/CONVERGENCE MIGHT BE STRONGER. AS SUCH FLASH FLOODING IS CONSIDERED POSSIBLE THROUGH 00Z.

metalicwx366 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Our only chance at rain today is with that storm that had the tornado warning earlier. Everything else is fizzling out as it approaches. Can’t complain though. We’ve had measurable rainfall last 9 days. I lied I’m gonna complain. We were under a severe thunderstorm watch for 12 hours, unstable as ever, and PWI near 2 inches and other good stuff, and we couldn’t even get a rain shower.

shaggy Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Approaching 2 inches at my house today and tonight's storm was one of the better lightning displays of the year.

Wow Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Raining like a mofo 1/2" in like 5 min Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburns Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Got my first rain for the entire month. 0.29" yesterday and 0.11" so far today. So 0.41" for almost the entire month. It has really been quite amazing how rain would go by on all sides. A couple of times I could actually smell the rain but nothing would fall. Several times it would look like I couldn't miss on radar and the storm would either collapse or split in two and slide by on both sides. I mowed around the first of July and not since.

Bad thing about these storms is you get more run off than a good (long duration)soaking rain. But beggars can't be choosy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
