If my math is correct, I’ve cut the drought in half at my location over this past week.
-
Yikes. I’m going to quit my whining. Sorry brother.
-
On the bright side, this one is down to bare slab rock, so it can’t wash out again in theory lmao .
-
3/5 of mini slides. The pics don’t do the upcoming manual labor justice. It looks like it’s just a pile of pine straw, but there’s about 2 ft of wet sediment under those piles to dig out. I managed to replant several shrubs and flowers in the rain this morning. .

Closing in on 3.5” since about 8:10. 4 mini landslides on my back hill. The entire bank is gone in spots with waterfalls and a foot of standing water at the back of the yard. I had just finished overhauling the landscaping anddddd it’s gone. Plants uprooted as well.

2.52” in 55 min
-
I’m getting absolutely smoked rn. 1.25” in half an hour. Absolutely absurd rates.
-
Everything is one giant impervious surface rn unfortunately
-
Today is a good day for the Catawba headwaters
-
It won’t bust the drought but this weekend and upcoming week is going to significantly bruise it. Up to 1.31” here myself and luckily it’s mostly fallen as steady soaking rain.
-
.77 over the 2 day period
-
A day late and a dollar short on the wedge. We can’t do anything right around here. Hope RDU folks score this round tho.
-
Love a good slop fest pasting. Sun angle is going to be a thorn in our side this time of year.
-
How much of this is snow?
-
Heck yea boys! I’m finally exceptional at something
-
I hear you brother. I think many of us still have flashbacks. I was down by the lake last night and couldn’t help but think how ironic it was to see it at record low levels. It immediately reminded me of that day and what I saw on the opposite end of the spectrum.
-
My excitement is building. Pulse thunderstorm season is one of my favorite times of year. Hope this wedge doesn’t last too long and we get to see some fireworks over the next few days.
-
I’ll settle for below average rain at this point by our normal standards. I’d be over the moon if we could just average a .25” per week at this juncture. .
-
Like clockwork, the short-med range is drying out fast. .
-
Boy, I should get into day trading
-
I’m going to miss having a model that could reliably sniff out thermals and CAD. I’ll never forget the coup it scored during the Jan 2025 storm when every model said I’d get several inches and the NAM said enjoy your sleet fest. About 2 hrs in, it went to pingers and never looked back.
-
Thursdays drought monitor will be interesting. I’d expect some marginal improvement along and south of I-85 but I’d say the foothills to the piedmont and southern VA are all about to be in an exceptional drought.
-
Everything going well, legend?
-
Locally speaking, and truly locally, some of yall won big, but the Catawba River basin desperately needs to score soon. That impacts a lot of ag and water supplies from Lake James all the way down to the low country. I’ve never seen lake hickory this low (granted I wasn’t living here in 2007). Lake James —> Lake Rhodhiss —> Lake Hickory —> Lake Norman —-> Lake Wylie —> Wateree to Marion and out to sea at Charleston. This watershed supplies millions.
-
At least some of yall won! We all need it, so that’s a win in itself. I’d just settle at this point for consistent weekly thunderstorms as we warm up. As much as we loathe it, we need to get some soupy air to tap into. I can’t recall the dp being this consistently low. It feels nice, but it’s not conducive to active weather and afternoon lift. I’ve normally already put two treatments of disease X on the yard - no need so far.
