I hope we get some good rain out of this. I know it doesn’t happen often but the southern escarpment needs it. 

Models are shifting the tropical storm to far south for us to get much benefit, but Monday and Tuesday look quite wet around here so hopefully we can score some rain that way.

Had one of those tropical downpours come through.  Tropical rains definitely hit different here in the mountains.  
I haven't had a drop today, but did pick up another 1.26" last night. That's almost 17" this month (double checked my math)

8/3: 5.33"

8/7: 2.32"

8/10: 1.64"

8/15: 2.55"

8/26: .46"

8/28: 1.44"

8/29: 1.94"

8/30: 1.26"

This has been a seriously wet month in Wolf!

Yeah we still have steady rain currently.  Kind of a misty mess. We didn't get anything last night and this is the first rain we've had today.

Good Friday afternoon, mountain-folk.

I can, today, finally feel like I have some legitimacy posting in this sub-forum.  My wife and I, although still firmly homesteaded in the barely-above-sea level, relative flatness of western Bibb County, Georgia, bought a little piece of altitudinal heaven yesterday. 

We closed on a little house outside of Highlands, down hwy 106 towards Scaly Mountain.  Sits at 3,717ft, as best I can tell. 

Looking forward to hanging out there and will be setting up new weather station when my Starlink finally arrives.

Congratulations! How far outside of highlands? You're not too far from my house

Welcome to WNC! That whole area is absolutely beautiful. Tons of waterfalls, very close to the BRP and you aren't too far from great hiking in NE GA too.

That area always does well during Miller As so here's hoping you get a big one this winter.
