cbmclean Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Picked up a token 0.14" from a cell that blew up right as it passed by house. Only 0.38" so far this month. Things not too dry yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsman Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 0.02". High of 88.1 at 4:27pm. With all the local media hoopla, it's disappointing. I'll be watering the garden in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted June 15, 2023 Author Share Posted June 15, 2023 High of 88. Dew point near 70 made it feel like summer. Still have yet to reach 90. Hoping to finish up the month without hitting 90. If we don't hit it by Sunday, we will a very good chance to make it to July without a 90 degree day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsman Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Hottest day of the year at 93.2 at 2pm. No rain for the day. Only at 0.06" for the month, looking forward to next weeks forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted June 17, 2023 Author Share Posted June 17, 2023 High of 88. Dew points in the low 70's made it feel very uncomfortable out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olafminesaw Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Just got a new basic rain gauge recently, reporting over 3.5" on the day. I think that's definitely higher than it should be. Local obs and radar suggest 2-2.5". Any ideas why it's so high? I tried to put it in an opening but we have massive oak trees that surely skew the data.

Plus, unless it is in the complete clear with nothing overhead, you will not get an accurate reading. If you cannot afford a professional system, you can buy the CoCoRahs rain gauge for about $40. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it may be incorrect, it is also quite possible for rainfall values to be quite varied over a very limited distance. If you do have it under a tree, your data will definitely be skewed, but most likely through underreporting rather than over reporting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not under a tree, probably like 10 feet from the edge of canopy. I was thinking maybe it collects water and gets blown into the gauge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Just 0.38” here today. Brings the month total to a paltry 0.46”. Hoping we capitalize this week we really need a soaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakeNormanStormin Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 2.00" today in Cornelius near Lake Norman. Had 3 tornado warnings literally all around us to the north, south, and east. Saw a funnel cloud passing over the lake with the 1st warned storm. Quite an active day with an expected active week ahead. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Definitely a little frustrating watching heavy returns evaporate before getting here all day. 0.32” for the day while areas just a few miles away had triple that +. 0.78” for the month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted June 21, 2023 Author Share Posted June 21, 2023 Picked up a much needed .43" today. High was 84 after the sun came out this afternoon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calm_days Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 about 3 1/2 inches so far from this unique coastal low!! it's meaningful that the cooler east coast pattern has had fewer MCV inland systems and instead these occasional coastal lows which are much less disruptive in terms of wind and lightning. the heavy rain sound was relaxing but it just kept going so i did wake up and check the radar to see if it was going to conclude, which it was just about to do.

NorthHillsWx Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Just 0.07” here today brings our 3 day total to 0.80” and our monthly total to a paltry 0.88”. Really hope we capitalize on something before this system moves out. Even drier at the farm in Franklin county. They have only rained one of the 3 days since this system began Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have only rained one of the 3 days since this system began We’ll we lucked into our first soaker of the event. 1.4” in 45 minutes and still raining. Event total is over 2.2” now. EDIT: we ended with 1.54” over about an hour. Our storm total is now 2.27” bringing the month to 2.35”. Probably more to come later on today but that was a heck of a soaker this AM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted June 22, 2023 Author Share Posted June 22, 2023 Warm and humid. Currently 82/75. Picked up .31" this morning. EDIT: Picked up a quick .29" this afternoon as a line of fast moving storms moved thru. That gives me a 3 day total of 1.49" of much needed rain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
