 Over the last 1/2 hour (since midnight), I’ve had by far the heaviest rain since 9/25-7 (Helene related). It looks to continue for awhile per radar as it moves N from just offshore. Much further inland (Statesboro, Sylvania and other locations) there is ongoing flooding from another area of moderate to heavy rain that has been falling since late afternoon!
 

Update at 1:20AM: It hasn’t stopped here and is now coming down the heaviest yet. Over the last 80 minutes, I’ve had >1”. That’s very heavy for early Nov.

Update 1:47AM: Close to 2” has fallen over the last hour and 45 minutes.

2.48" in the rain bucket for W. Columbia, Yay!  Had 0.21" the day before with hopefully a bit more today.  Being this happy about muggy rain filled days is a testament to how dry it's been.  Hope Y'all score some rain, but not too much rain.

After off and on light rain since 2AM, I’m getting heavy rain again just before 11AM.

At 11:20AM, very heavy rain continues. I’ve received 1”+ during just the last ~25 minutes! 3”+ since midnight, a full Nov climo rain in just 12 hours!
 Streets are flooding. A little water now sneaking around one side of my garage door.

 This is what 70 F dewpoints can cause in Nov!

Edit 11:35AM: still very heavy! ~2” last 40 minutes and ~4” since midnight! Current level of street:yard flooding is as bad as the worst of the summer. This includes Debbie, which while also bad and which gave me 11”, was over 3 days (a bit more spread out).

It continues to shock me just how feast or famine this year has been. Feels like we haven't had a stretch of normal variable weather all year. Stuck in the same pattern and then a pattern change and stuck in that pattern for a while,  rinse, repeat

ATL is closing in on its longest stretch of no measurable rain. Trace amounts have been reported 6 of the last 7 days. Seems like the streak will end this weekend or ahead of the front early next week, but I'm not counting on much.

It finally lightened up but not after getting ~4+ of rain within a couple of hours and ~6” since midnight! But the damage is done. Lots of water is again in my garage. Came in from right garage door jamb (as I see it from inside) and then spread to portions of the left side. I looked outside and it appears the source is water coming up through a crack in the concrete right outside the door. Water appears to be coming through that crack from underneath the concrete!! This is crazy.

NWS was slow but finally issued a FFW at 12:39PM, which was 1:40 after the heavy started and an hour after 3”+ had already fallen!

1. Today’s KSAV (well inland airport) rainfall of 4.35” set a new record high rainfall not just for today but for the entire month! The old Nov daily record was 4.13”, which was set Nov 18th, 1898.

2. Hunter (KSVN), which is much closer to me and to my amount, had even more, 5.67”! I don’t have daily records for Hunter.

3. These very high amounts for the date were helped by the heavy rain starting near midnight as opposed to being split by two days.

Good point about the timing. I kinda wonder if records should be keep in a rolling 24 hour period where the highest value would be assigned to the date with more hours total hours in that timeframe. Obviously only makes sense for records rather than daily statistics.

In some locations for certain things I think there are 24 hour records also kept. But the gold standard is by calendar dates.
