They now have a watch effective at 5:00 PM today through Thursday evening.
-
That train of heavier precipitation came through early this morning and left 2.0” of rain so far. I think an estimate of 4” total this week might be on the conservative side.

I’m so bored lately that I’m finding myself pretty excited about the prospects of an unusually rainy week. I don’t mind 4”-5” of rain over several days. I just don’t want it all at once.
-
The last measurable rain I had IMBY was 0.1” on May 5. (Before that was 1.7” on April 30.) I’m reluctant to waste my well on stupid grass, but I did run the sprinklers early yesterday.

Update...
-
Pffft. Brad down in CLT. Half a world away in my book.
-
Another gusty day. Does the NWS keep wind records because the last three months have to be the windiest period on record I’ve ever remembered? Maybe I’m just paying more attention than before.
-
So far, so good. Hopefully, nothing will verify.
-
Yes, there are several providing some good information. And there are a few wasting electrons.
-
I assume you don’t visit the Southeastern forum during one of our (increasingly rare) winter storm threads.
-
The April 19th Severe Event thread is full of interlopers I’ve never seen before. It’s the weather equivalent to rubbernecking. I appreciate the insight from several of them. Others, not so much.

HGX tornado possibly over a Phillips refinery at the moment.
-
Low of 34 this morning IMBY. Wind gusts have picked up this afternoon to 30 MPH. Continues the pattern.
-
So another mild and wet winter? Yippee. Same song; fourth verse.
-
And certainly not ideal for homeowners in the area either. People just don’t need this crap right now. They have enough on them already.

RFD = Real F****** Dumb

This is one of those “non-events” for Raleigh that should be welcomed.
-
The traffic cameras on I-95 near Charleston are putting on a lightning show. Looks awful.
-
There are numerous mobile homes along that SC path. This is no good at all.
-
My brother lives three miles east of there. I’ve eaten at Bones numerous times.
-
My brother and his wife live in East Brainerd. No power of course. No mobile or landline service for half an hour. I was holding my breath waiting to hear back. Thank God they’re okay.
-
My extended family lives in Chattanooga. My brother and his wife are right in the middle of the worst of it at this second.
-
There’s something sort of sickening when people are almost cheering for catastrophic weather in others’ backyards just for the rubbernecking novelty of it. WTF is wrong with people? This planet has had enough crap to deal with lately. Don’t be bummed out if your tornadocalypse doesn’t pan out like you had hoped.

Storm roared through about 5:00 AM this morning. Wasn’t too severe. Received 0.4” of rain. The past monthly has been very breezy, but today might take the cake. Gusts are ridiculous. Isolated Duke Energy outages popping up all afternoon.
