olafminesaw Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 We went from the 3rd wettest May to the 7th driest June to already the 11th wettest July. With today's rain we may climb into the top 5 for July as well. Talk about weather whiplash! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 It’s a “lovely” 84.9 here with plenty of humidity. By the way that’s inside my house, not outside. (My AC isn’t working). Actually, that’s better than the 87-88 of late yesterday. But the day is still young. Regardless, clouds and nearby storms are helping though the humidity is off the charts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been down since late yesterday. It’s dumping. Edit: we have received 1.10” or rain in the last 20 minutes. This is one of the most extreme downpours I’ve seen. 9” in rear view mirror working on 10” for the month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaWx Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Getting heavy rain from a thunderstorm now. Due to a combo of potential heavy rain today with very heavy rains earlier this week and last weekend (5” IMBY), a flood watch was already in effect for today/tonight. It did lighten up pretty quickly, however. *Edit: ended up with only ~0.25” due to it lasting only a short time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaWx Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Rain finally lightened up considerably ~40 minutes ago. The street out front flooded and even the sidewalks flooded on both sides as water went well over the curbs. I’m guessing that was ~3” rain within one hour. Keep in mind I had 5” during the 7 days before this giving me ~11.25” for July to date! I’ve had lots of storms this month but this complex of storms appears to have taken the cake. Besides the rain (along with decent winds near the start), the CTG lightning frequency was among the worst I can recall at least in several years. The radar detected 800+ strokes within 15 minutes over the area! Many vehicles got stuck in flooding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in town for a big chunk of that... spent the worst of it parked in front of Homegoods on Abercorn by the mall; crazy lightning and the parking lot started flooding (so I decided it was time to relocate). It's funny, tonight was the first night of my son's VBS and we got that storm, and last year on the first nigh of it we drove home on I-16 through something just as crazy. Still managed to get .55 at the house today, even though all the action was further east... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaWx Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Due to much faster movement than recent storms, the strong effects from this one lasted only ~15 minutes. However, the wind from this at the start was probably the strongest yet of the many July thunderstorms here. The rain was torrential and the combo of that with wind strength/direction actually blew in some water under the door into the foyer, highly unusual. The short duration prevented major street flooding. I’ll check my rainfall later. Edit: It appears that despite the short duration that I got 1”+. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it blew out, and left us with a pleasant evening at the neighborhood pool... Yesterday’s thunderstorm could easily have qualified as severe imho due to high winds near the start. I can’t recall the last time I had a puddle just inside the foyer due to the wind blowing so hard (evidently right toward the door) allowing it to sneak underneath a despite it being a pretty tight space. Also, whereas I didn’t lose power, I saw a good number of traffic lights that were still out a couple of hours after the storm not too far from me. Yesterday’s rainfall at my place ended up at ~1”. That gave me a grand total of ~12.25” for July. What a stormy and wet month! This was the wettest month here since the similar 13.25" during August of 2022 (not that long ago). Just since July 19th, I got ~9.25”! The last time it was this wet here during that short a period was the 10” I got Sept. 1-10, 2022. June through Sept. 10 of 2022 was incredibly wet here, pushing the water table all of the way up, which lead to AC condensation drainage line backup. Inside the house I had a hottest of ~88 for the month and probably for all-time due to no AC for a couple of days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
