Spending the week in Almond, SW of Bryson City. Multiple heavy rain showers this evening. Very dark at various times in the midst of those storms. Looking forward to lower temps and humidity the next couple of days. Saw we got significant rain this evening back home in Hickory, too.

Yup! I loved my 2014, so I wanted my next car to be an Accord too.

I bought a 2018 Accord from Lake Norman Genesis. (I would highly recommend them - great service, no pressure, let me drive it to Hickory so my mechanic could give it a look over.) I had a 2014 Accord. Wanted to upgrade a few years, and the older model became my youngest son’s first car. So, we both got new (to us) cars today!

3.83 and still raining here. Wow! Been back and forth to Huntersville a few times from Hickory today (buying a car), and there have been several torrential downpours. Crazy stuff!

Wow! This rain has been training over Hickory since about 6 PM last night. I have over 3 inches of rainfall so far.

No measurable rain IMBY since last Tuesday. Opportunities look better this week. Here’s hoping they materialize…

Wow. Crazy totals for you in McDowell County. I have right at 1.25 inches. You tripled my total.

7.66?!?! That’s crazy.

Just some brief wind and moderate rain. Not too much to report here. Maybe further south it was worse.

Well, I have a very rare tornado warning right now. Severe t-storm capable of producing a tornado. Radar indicated some rotation. I’m not too worried. Tornados in these parts are just cut all to pieces by the terrain. Usually very short track and not too intense. Hopefully, we get some decent rain out of it, though.

Yes, @MountainMarvel was not a prolific poster, but he always had beautiful pictures to share when he did. I remember the snowfall pictures he would post as being “soft” and “gentle”. I know that’s a weird way to describe a photo, but that’s the best way I can think to describe it. There would often be a slight intentional blur to his images, I think. Sad to hear he passed away several years ago. Thanks for sharing the news @nchighcountrywx .

I got just over half an inch in my backyard yesterday. That was much appreciated.

After four straight days of 100+ temperatures, my PWS high yesterday was “only” 96. We also got a couple hundredths of drizzle. Still need much more.

Yeah, I need it to drift a little NW. nothing here at the house except outflow, so far.

The outflow from those storms in Caldwell County have dropped the temp to 81.7 F right now. It’s actually comfortable outside. This is after we hit over 102 F earlier this afternoon.
