Poimen Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Where's the cold air when ya need it haha. Anyways it looks like a decent rain event, do we dare get two decent rains in a row? Yeah, it would be nice to have some cold to go along with the precip. Wait til next year, I suppose. It looks like the forecast qpf amounts are falling as we get closer to the event. Nevertheless, widespread 1 inch amounts are still in the forecast for much of central NC. There should be another front coming through in about 8 days. Hopefully that will give us another round of rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC_hailstorm Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 New GFS is spitting out some good totals for the Saturday/Sunday system. 1.50'' to 2.00'' over most of NC with higher amounts in spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I was noticing that. Let's hope it pans out that way. The GFS still has another front coming through in the 6-7 day range with another round of rainfall for the area. I hope that pans out, too. I'm afraid the parade of fronts might end after next week and we go into another dry spell. I hope I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid the parade of fronts might end after next week and we go into another dry spell. I hope I'm wrong. Still looks pretty good. GFS is upping the totals even more,especially in western NC with up to 2.5'' with a bullseye of 3''+ in SW NC and extreme NE GA./NW SC. Looks a little less in E.NC but still not bad.

Poimen Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 ended up with around .80 up this way yesterday. Not too bad, I guess. It certainly helps. One more simialr event this week, and then it looks like it might go back to an extended period of dry weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isopycnic Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 March "coming in like a lion" is more like "coming like a wet p***y". I think my house got somewhere near 0.69". LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoothillsNC Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 this next system is about a carbon copy, so whatever your location got this past event, about the same for this next event , roughly speaking. A max area around Alabama, northern half of GA, western Carolinas, eastern half of TN, and then a relative min. over central SC to central NC (but maybe more than last event), and another max again around eastern NC/VA. Probably a 2" to 3" event for the Apps down to eastern Alabama again, with some spots over 4" again . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poimen Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 12Z GFS spits out ~ 2" qpf amounts for central NC with this upcoming event. I'm doing the rain dance. We could really use those 2" amounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poimen Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 going dry again. The only moisture I'm getting lately is the morning dew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoothillsNC Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 going dry again. The only moisture I'm getting lately is the morning dew. there might be some hope esp. for NC during the next 10 days. As the blocking in eastern Canada arrives, it might help stall or set up a tight boundary nw to se, which will be a nice baroclinic zone over TN to NC with a southern stream and periods of weak disturbances riding in the southern branch. The models have a hard time deciding which disturbances to keep in tact, and which are just false alarms, but I do think theres a good chance at something atleast during that time frame. It actually could trend into a pretty wet time later on, but no guarantees of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC_hailstorm Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Got 2.7'' for March so far,need another inch and a half to get to normal in 7 days. Wet pattern setting up though so might make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to see about all the Carolinas finally getting good rain as well, and its going to continue this week. Another good event Wed and probably one Friday, but that one might brush the coast, skipping interior, don't know yet. Beyond this,a cool down the weekend, before another amplified pattern, and traditional April flow takes over, which is normally a wild/amplified pattern of cool, then warm, with sunny and severe weather..just about everything. Lately, you could walk outside and breathe atleast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC_hailstorm Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 2.42"... need 2.26" to break even this month. Ever notice you and me usually are bringing up the rear on these amounts lately? Anyway I'm up to 3.4'' for the month,still need .80 to get to normal,we'll see but haven't had a normal or above normal month since August.

This brings my monthly total to.................... 5.03 I can't remember the last time we have had this much rain. http://www.dnr.sc.go...d_120day_cd.php You've got me beat in April. I had 3.26", GSP had 3.24". Could have been much worse, so pretty happy with things. I'm liking the looks of some high lat ridging over the next 2 weeks too, means more rain is coming for the Southeast, unfortunately the hail will be a problem in some areas.

Gastonwxman Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 2.82" here for April. Kind of depressing but better than usual I suppose. Thankfully we'll have more rain on the way in the coming days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had no complaints in the rainfall dept the past two months It's been a welcomed change and one that I hope continues into the summer well I didn't read when your 5"+ amount was. Now I see it was March, not April. My bad. But atleast we're getting something decent. Or were. I don't think this next system will do much for either of us. I wouldn't be surprised if Zero is the total around the midlands, and trace amounts here. It appears its so slow moving, all the dynamics will bypass the Carolinas almost totally now, maybe a sliver of a line coming through northern and western NC on early Wednesday.

Thankfully we'll have more rain on the way in the coming days. its now not looking good for the rains in the Carolinas, until a week to 10 days. The Wed. front is losing dynamics here, but NC may squeeze out a quick something, other than that, we'll have to wait until a week for our next chance. The high-lat. blocking still looks likely, so the effects from that are usually good for us in the longer term, but we'll have to wait . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
