We had thunder all afternoon with nothing but a brief shower, then this leaves us out of most of the fun... Welcome to summertime thunderstorms in the south! Admittedly, I got lucky with those two isolated storms. Hopefully you're getting more from this third more widespread storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsman Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 1.38" from this storm today, WRAL says we're going to get another wave tonight. Plenty for the plants & veggies. Very tropical feel to this storm. Lots of small creek flooding in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only .01" in myb today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand, especially with the drought. This evening's band of storms gave me only ~0.10". But the airport got 0.54". Below is the CoCoRaHS map of Chatham County that incorporates all of yesterday's rains. The largest amounts were over Skidaway Island with 2-2.5". The smallest amounts (~2/3") were over the NW part of the county, including the airport. Next lowest amounts of ~3/4-1" were from Dutch Island/Thunderbolt eastward through Wilmington/Tybee Islands. Mid county got ~1.25-1.75". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted May 24, 2022 Author Share Posted May 24, 2022 Looks like I posted way too soon. Picked up 1.16" from a real nice downpour. That puts me at 3.81" for the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Picked up 1.15” overnight for a total of 1.92” since yesterday This also brings the total for the month to 2.65” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylorsweather Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Picked up 2.31" of mainly steady rain mixed with a couple downpours yesterday. A very nice dump with another on the way Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted May 25, 2022 Author Share Posted May 25, 2022 Picked up an additional 1.47" today. This gives me a 2 day total of 2.63" and a monthly total of 5.28". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted May 25, 2022 Author Share Posted May 25, 2022 Very nice change of pace for today. Thick cloud cover kept us in the 60's all day. Had a nice cool low of 60 and a high of 68. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Got completely split by the storms today despite being under a severe storm warning for over an hour. Managed just 0.02” from a light shower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a few hundredths of an inch earlier in Pikeville, now the sun is out and it's a steambath, but at least the wind is blowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 We received ~0.15" late last night. Whereas 0.15" isn't much, even that is close to how much one irrigation provides. Plus it happened late at night, a near ideal time for lawn benefits and near when I normally irrigate. The recent drought is making me appreciate more just getting modest amounts. We're getting more rain now. We were already near 2.25" month to date as of this morning. That's not too shabby considering we were only near 0.30" one week ago and that the 2.25" was enough to already make it the wettest month since January here. Edit: We got an additional ~0.15" this afternoon getting us to ~2.40" for the MTD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbmclean Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 This afternoon is turning out to be a dud. Picked up 0.02 this morning. Looks like that may be it for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Finished with 0.88” over the weekend bringing our monthly total rainfall to 3.53” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeatherFox Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Sat-Sun June 4-5, 2022...The upcoming weekend wl remain subject to approach of an area of disturbed weather presently taking shape over the western Caribbean. NHC projections have a "High" chance of development into a named system by the time it nears S FL on Sat. With an anticipated track presently near to south of central Fl, local rainfall projections are largely subject to how organized the system wl become by the time of closest point of approach to the area during this weekend. A rather sharp rainfall gradient is possible N-S over the peninsula should the system become more organized, and/or a track further south than currently advertised. A loosely composed baroclinic/hybrid system would potentially serve better prospects for local wetting rains, and with anticipation a NHC developed track and intensity forecast wl be used as baseline by late this week, future wind/rain forecasts wl remain subject to revision.

GaWx Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 I ended up near 2.5" of rainfall for May IMBY. Whereas we had a nice ~2.2" 5/21-31, that still leaves us with only 8.75" since mid November and continued D3 (severe drought) conditions. If we don't get some decent rainfall by this weekend, I'll probably resume lawn irrigation early next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
