yotaman Posted June 12, 2021 Author Share Posted June 12, 2021 Well it looks like the NWS really blew the forecast today. Had a 100% chance of heavy thunderstorms today and so far it has been sunny with a few clouds here and there. I know of several festivals that were cancelled due to the forecast.

nwohweather Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Damn…At 803 PM EDT, Doppler radar indicated thunderstorms with torrential rainfall over much of West Ashley, James Island, Johns Island and Downtown Charleston. Although rainfall is slowly diminishing, additional rainfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches could still fall through 915 PM. As much as 4.42 inches of rain has fallen near Waterfront Park in Downtown Charleston with 3.5 to 4 inches being observed in West Ashley. Radar data suggest as much a 5 to 6 inches may have fallen in some areas of West Ashley into Downtown Charleston. The risk for significant flooding continues.

KChuck Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Talk about feast or famine. We had 3.21" on Thursday the 11th and another .50" the day before on the 10th. Daughter who lives in Wallburg managed just over a tenth over the same two days. That's about some ten to twelve miles as the crow flies from us.

NorthHillsWx Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Was feast or famine in central NC over the last week. We’re up to 3.77” for the month which is probably middle of the road, though it was much more hit or miss here than western and eastern sections of the state. Looks to be going very dry again. I know the farmers in central NC are absolutely struggling this year so hopefully our rainfall will come more consistently, instead of a 2-3 day bout of rain with the remainder of the month dry.

yotaman Posted June 13, 2021 Author Share Posted June 13, 2021 Remained cloudy most of the day. High was 82 after a low of 69. Dew points were a bit down too. Felt good for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand If it doesn’t rain today, our next shot of rain looks to be about a week away, depending on what the gulf disturbance does. I would think some remnant boundary from the mcs that pushed further south than expected last night would be the focal point for this afternoons action. Models have kind of been all over the place in regards to storm initiation and location this afternoon but somewhere in the neighborhood of the triad should see a broken line of storms pop and move east.

NorthHillsWx Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 No rain in the vicinity here tonight. Unfortunately our long range rain prospects seem to hinge entirely on the disturbance in the gulf.

My rain totals since early spring haven’t been impressive.

April we had just 0.94”, May was 1.42”, and were at 3.77” this month. One of the big issues, other than the low totals, is that it’s just been a few days of rain too. The inconsistent nature of our rainfall means that we’ve frequently gone weeks between measurable rain events, even if we got a good rainfall over a 2 day period.

I didn’t realize May’s rain was that scarce for you. I figured that April was bad, but didn’t realize May was, too. For Wake, April 2021 was the 8th driest April on record and driest since 1994..

FLweather Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 It's about to storm again for about the 3-4th time today. Last couple of days have been wet. Rained decent yesterday and today. Hopefully our dry season is over here. Cause it's been hot and slow on getting the rainy season going. Almost have been on the verge of burning up.
