Solak Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Just a few hundredths here at the house, but this morning in Clayton it came down so hard I pulled into a parking lot until the heavy rain let up. All the new median curbing they've put on Bus. 70 through town just makes the water pond up worse than before the 'improvements'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calm_days Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 There is some stalling occurring between waves: edit: continued radar view Definitely a unique day temperaturewise! There is a warm front on the move up near the Canada/US border which seems to have a powerful enough effect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Over 4.5 inches so far today, with more heavy rain falling and in the pipeline. This is insane!

NC_hailstorm Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 At 1055 PM EDT, Flash flooding will continue around greater Hickory as additional rounds of heavy rainfall overspread the region. In addition, with rainfall totals piling up all across the unifour, flash flooding is likely to expand in coverage as well. In several parts of the warned area, rainfall this evening has totaled as much as 6 inches, and localized additional one to three inches of rain could fall into the late night hours. Some places could get 7-9 inches tonight with a pile more coming this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 4.94 was my calendar day total. Now at 5 I and coming down steadily. Just went out to clear gutters in our front walkway to keep water from pouring into basement. Should've done that yesterday...

kvegas-wx Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Radar starting to show a nice little sit and spin action dead over the triad. I dont think we're outta the woods quite yet Burnsie.

calculus1 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Fortunately, the rain stopped shortly after 1:00 AM last night. So, I now sit at 5.16 inches since the Big Wet Weekend began. That's already at the upper threshold of what some of the global models were predicting for the entire thing. How big can we go?Went back out this morning with the lull in the rain to more properly clear all my gutters. I have never cleared gutters after midnight before (like last night), but I was really worried about our basement flooding with all the rain just draining right along the walls. Fortunately, none of the finished areas have any water influx, as of yet. The crawl space has some wet block walls (from where gutters were not properly draining) but no standing water. I think we're ready for round two now. I'm not sure how we'll hold up for rounds three, four, ...Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile, further north we've been getting on and off sun with CAPE rising. I'm dubious the northern Piedmont will be the focus for the heavy rainfall until perhaps later tonight, but any slow moving cells will have some fuel to work with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NRVwxfan. Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Whole lot of nothing so far today here. We have even seen some extended periods of sunshine today. I'm watching that growing line though well south of me. With the sun and temps in the 80s, there could be some pretty good storms later. We will see.

jburns Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 At the moment lots of small areas of precip here but even those give heavy rain for 5 or 10 minutes before moving over. For instance, I just got 0.12" in about 6 minutes. It looks as if they are now beginning to expand and coalesce well before the already large areas of precip to the south move into the area. Time to batten down the hatches for later this evening and tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gman Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 What a storm we just had. Winds up to 50 mph. Over 2” rain so far, and it’s still coming down. Looks like training effect rains for another hour or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
