What ya doing down in the lowlands, @Met1985 ? I would think the heat/humidity combo would be intolerable for a mountain man such as yourself! (It’s intolerable for us, too!)
-
Yep. That was intense! Finished with 0.63 inch of rainfall and about a thousand lightning flashes. Lots of wind, too.
-
That rain may not survive the mountains this afternoon. They keep shredding any showers with which they interact. Outside is a rather weird filtered sunshine through very high level clouds here in Hickory.
-
I ended up with 0.67 inch for the day. There may be another complex rolling through this afternoon/evening based on radar analysis upstream, but again, NWS doesn't seem to make much of it.
-
Big rains appear to be incoming. Heavy stuff first and then a lot of light stuff for a while afterwards. The NWS forecast this morning barely mentioned any rainfall threat, and now we are about to have our second round of significant rainfall today.
-
Right now, these cells are dying at the Catawba County border. They can't make it out of Caldwell and Alexander. I'm hoping that changes...
-
If the derecho brings rain…
-
TLDR version:
-
I got absolutely rejected by these storms. I was certain that line coming from the west would not fail to hit us hard here in Hickory. But the eastward motion completely stopped at the Catawba County line. I ended up with a ton of thunder, lots of wind, and 0.02 inch of rain as it all dissipated before reaching my house. Ouch.
-
Yeah, rain is in all locales around, but it won't fall on Hickory, it seems.
-
Very close by but not really doing anything on the lake. Just enjoying a quiet week with the family. Doing some hiking, mainly. Also ventured down to Andrews for their Rail Tour (rail bikes on old tracks!), which is really cool. I recommend it, if you’re ever in the area.

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.
