Somewhat warmer here. Probably won't get out of the 60s a few days near the Blue Ridge. Euro hinting that the little swirl near Florida moves up this way and actually drops 3 to 4 inches of rain on the escarpment middle of this week.. Other models mostly have it near the piedmont and less defined.
Robert really harped on drought coming this summer for many areas but it just isn't happening. We already had almost 3 months worth of rain the past week and probably another inch or two this week coming up.
I'm also seeing signs of another tropical disturbance near Florida/Gulf of Mexico later in the week which could really create some issues
Catawba River up to 12.1 feet but starting to level off. Luckily it hasn't caused too many problems and won't unless it goes over 14. Rain has lessened which has helped but more seems to be organizing on radar in the upstate
Almost at 7 inches and radar looks worrisome.. Catawba climbing again to 7.6. I think it gets close to 13 or 14 feet today and maybe a lot worse. I am worried for sure
I think with the low level SE flow the Blue Ridge escarpment will get slammed. 6 to locally 10 inches in places like Brevard up to Caldwell County if the orientation sets up right.
Luckily the antecedent conditions have been pretty dry and water levels are low or normal on local streams
