NorthHillsWx Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 14 minutes ago, marsman said: WRAL: 1 fatality in Wilson. 2.97" and counting so far after only .41" yesterday. I just read that. Very sad. Looks like another possible brief tornado occurred just east of rocky mount. This is becoming a prolific tornado producer in eastern NC. We’re at 4.65” storm total but 1.55” of that came from the first band in 45 minutes. Not much here yesterday but it’s been a lot of rain today with close to 3” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BooneWX Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 1.36 so far in Granite Falls, NC. The winds have been shockingly strong as well. It started well ahead of schedule in our area so I think flooding will become a concern in the next few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsman Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Up to 3.30". Temp at 76 and dewpoint at 75 - very muggy, the older windows on the house are condensing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olafminesaw Posted August 8 Author Share Posted August 8 I am guessing rain will be on the low side of forecast in the triad. Many approaching 3", but if the HRRR is to be believed, heavier rain bands will be more hit or miss from here on out. Still many hours to go. On the other hand wind way over performed. The NWS was calling for gusts under 30 mph, but GSO has reported 5 out of the last 6 hours with gusts over 40mph and one gust to 47 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 As of yesterday morning’s update I had received 10.3” from Debby. I’ve since had an additional 0.6” to give me a Debby grand total (over 3 days) of 10.9”, easily the largest amount from a single event here since Matthew of Oct 7-8, 2016. Together with the 10” I got 7/19-8/3 from PM convection, I’ve received 20.9” during just the 20 day period of 7/19-8/7. Thus, any possible heavy rains from tropical or other during the next few weeks could be extra problematic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthHillsWx Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 While we most definitely will crack 6” in my backyard (almost there) it was spread out over 3 days and there was a long lull. If all 6” had fallen today it would’ve been a significantly worse situation, obviously. With a forecast that had totals shown as 10-15” within 18 hours of start time, this wasn’t even close to verifying. I know it’s in in line with earlier forecasts. I think the lack of any substantial banding before today and Debby’s increased motion really helped keep totals down. Obviously an impactful storm and a lot of flooding but most of it was run of the mill flooding. Guess we’ll see how the rivers respond through the week. Looking ahead, this has certainly set the stage for significant flooding should we get another system. With much of the southeast now flooded or waterlogged, another storm could be very bad. Something to watch with an orange in the Atlantic at present Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 I am around 5.50" for this storm give or take .25" due to my rain gauge stopping this morning during a storm due to debris blocking the tipping bucket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LakeNormanStormin Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 4.5 inches in the last 24 hours here in Cornelius on Lake Norman. Think we got most of it between 4AM-9AM yesterday. Those training bands that came through had insane rain rates. If the deformation band had stayed on us, it would have been disastrous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 I checked my garage for the 1st time since the rain ended on Wednesday and noticed I have standing water in a small portion of my garage (along a wall) and that doors to a storage room on that side are wrinkled on the bottom despite the water having receded where they are. (see pic below) Also, cardboard boxes for things I’ve stored in there for years are damp up 6”. As stated earlier, I got 10.9” from Debby over a 3 day period.

eyewall Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 And finally this one was interesting as you can see a clear notch wrapping in from the left and a bit of a point just left of the distant buildings. Can't say for sure if that was an attempt at a funnel but it made a solid attempt to organize over north Raleigh on the afternoon of 8/8. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
