  1. I work for the city, we had 6.75 in 2 hours according to a gauge we have at Public Works. Anywhere from 6 to 8 across the city and winds from 50 to 60 in the worst band. The city has struggled and is trying to get on its feet with a nice river district area that is under a lot of water now..
  2. Dan River is now 28.59 feet. Just a few inches from breaking the 22 year record from 1996 from Fran. If it gets over 30 feet it will be one of the worst floods here in the last 50 years.
  3. I'm trying to post some pictures and video but having trouble. It was a wild day here in Danville. Major river flooding continues and power is out to over 10,000 people in the city. Trees on houses, cars washed away, swift water rescues, etc.
  4. A gauge at Public Works in Danville reported 6.75 of rain in less than 2 hours.. Terrible flash flooding.. The Sandy River has crested at its all time level surpassing Fran in 96. The Dan River went from 8 feet to 23.5 in 3 hours and is forecasted to crest at a record 29 feet..
  5. Flash flood emergency here in Danville. Pretty much whole city is without power and multiple swiftwater rescues are ongoing.
  6. Scary bad in Danville.. gusting over 55 easy. Transformers blowing
  7. Extremely heavy rain here in Danville that is blowing sideways.. Visibility dropping
  8. Getting gusty in Danville and Rockingham just gusted to 41 mph already..
  9. Yes HiRes NAM keeps wanting to drop 7-10 inches on northern NC and southside VA really ramping up the band leftover from the eyewall..
  10. Uhm saw this in your area.. https://wlos.com/news/nation-world/veteran-noaa-meteorologist-accused-of-licking-sucking-smelling-teenage-boys-toes

  12. Yea lately they have been more bark than bite but models have been doing a pretty good job with intensifcation with this one, especially the HWRF and EURO. Both models have has sub 940 mb storms for multiple runs here and there the past few days and that seems likely now.
  13. Euro says ehhh not so fast my friend.. Sure it gets cooler after Michael moves through but the next legit push of cold air hangs back in the plains and the ridge is still in control as of day 8..
  14. New Euro is much farther west .
  15. Yea but you have to admit the flooding wasn't nearly as bad as what happened back in May and years past. 2004 is the modern day litmus test for the region but one day a 1916 will happen again.
  16. Catawba didn't reach flood stage but Yancey county had some decent flooding. Overall, Western NC lucked out on this one
  17. The Dan River here in Danville is going to push its record high at this gauge. Keep in mind this gauge has only been in place for about 25 years so it didn't get the floods of the 1970's. We have had about 4.5 inches of rain here but upstream got anywhere between 7 and 10. South Boston, VA will get it really bad with flooding and a lot of downtown will be underwater by tomorrow.
  18. I think the convection down east is robbing a lot of the moisture transport for ya'll. Robert mentioned it as well. Most models dont have any crazy totals. General 4 to 6 inches, up to 8 in favored areas.
  19. Thin band keeps training over Danville with heavy rain. Over an inch now storm total. Some places have had 2 inches the past hour to the southeast of here.
  20. It's gusting over 60 mph in a lot of places around Morehead City, Beaufort, Atlantoc Beach. I expect some hurricane force gusts soon.
  21. GFS continues to track the system further north inland in SC
  22. Center tracks from Darlington to just N of Columbia to Spartanburg to Hendersonville.
