Finally got the thirst quenching rain I’d been waiting for. Much like all of central NC, that line produced heavy rain and lots of lightning. Some wind, nothing over 30 mph I’d say, and no hail, but we received 1.21” of rain
The misses continue… 1.5 hours of thunder and rain down the street resulted in 0.02” imby. At least the clouds and outflow have cooled it off nicely, 78 atm
EDIT: Fringed again. .02” again. 0.04” for the day
Forecasting conditions to improve against a strengthening El Niño is a new one for me. I’m still thinking we see reduced activity and a BN season, regardless of water temps. Crazy to bank on August to produce a AN season in any year
Yep, that’s been how it’s gone here. Watched areas just a few miles down the road get 1”+ while we barely got the edge of a collapsing cell. 0.12” for the day which brings the month to 0.17”
0.0” of rain from the 80% chance of storms yesterday. Heard some thunder so I guess they got close but really surprised how everything went south of here
We’ll we lucked into our first soaker of the event. 1.4” in 45 minutes and still raining. Event total is over 2.2” now. EDIT: we ended with 1.54” over about an hour. Our storm total is now 2.27” bringing the month to 2.35”. Probably more to come later on today but that was a heck of a soaker this AM
Just 0.07” here today brings our 3 day total to 0.80” and our monthly total to a paltry 0.88”. Really hope we capitalize on something before this system moves out. Even drier at the farm in Franklin county. They have only rained one of the 3 days since this system began
