NorthHillsWx Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Pushing 6” on the month after heavy storms last night with light rain continuing this morning. With high rain chances continuing through the week, 10” may be in play if we get the right storms. Unbelievable turnaround 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After being just missed by what looked on radar as a serious storm I managed to pick up 0.63” late this afternoon. We need a lot more but it is enough to activate my weed lawn so a mowing I will soon be. And just like that a robust storm last night and I now have had 2.72” in the last two days. If I’m very quiet I can hear all the plants in my yard cheering, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yotaman Posted July 22 Author Share Posted July 22 Picked up .10 this morning. That pushes me over the 9" mark for the month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 I measured 1.75” over ~1.5 hours (~4:45-6:15 PM) (~5” last 4 days) (~~8” this month) though Doppler radar estimates are 2-4” over much of the area 3-6:15 PM today, which started in downtown. That lead to a flash flood warning. The flooding was made worse due to heavy rains just 2-3 days ago. Even though I got a little more on Saturday (~2”), today’s 1.75” lead to more standing water in the yard. It has finally decreased to light rain. This heavy rain was over a not very wide portion of the county from downtown SW to Georgetown. The heavy band was inland but parallel to the coastline. The beach/islands and the well inland airport got much less to almost nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wncsnow Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Just a trace today so far. I don't think we will finish the month above average. I'm still under 2 inches of rain for the month. It's amazing how consistent areas are getting rain and how areas are consistently not getting the heavy amounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those of us who are riding high now could be back in a dustbowl next month watching you hit by daily showers. Precipitation is a fickle beast, especially in SE summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaWx Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 What a time for the A.C. (only ~11.5 years old) to suddenly stop working. Dewpoints here are in the high 70s. It had never given me any problems whatsoever up through earlier today. The inside unit’s blower is moving air but the air coming out through the vents isn’t cool. The outdoor unit is also running. There’s no icing evident. The filter had been replaced just 3 weeks ago and is hardly dirty. The brand is Trane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbmclean Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 0.87" more today for 9.01" for the month. Potentially more incoming on the radar. I'm not sure I remember such an abrupt difference in consecutive months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 1 hour ago, yotaman said: Sounds like a leak. Thanks. I need to clarify something. The outside unit’s fan is working fine (on continuously), but I listened more closely since my prior post. The compressor, itself, is actually staying on for only 15-20 seconds at a time and then it shuts off for 1.5 minutes. That cycle keeps repeating. When compressor is on, I feel hot air blowing. When off, the air blowing out is not hot. Also, neither pipe connected to it feels cold. Edit: I googled central AC compressor turns on and off and found this great YouTube video: it suggests it could be the “filter drier”, which I had never heard of before: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally eating dust last month to putting up huge numbers this month and still a lot more to come! Getting 7” of rain in a month is a good month. Getting over 7” of rain MORE than the previous month is absurd. Add my April + May + June totals and this month exceeds the sum. Incredible turnaround 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
