Oh, that sucks, @BooneWX . So sorry. We wanted the rain, and when it finally came, it came in buckets. I have almost 3 inches in the same time period, but it’s slacked off here. No damage, yet, that I can tell.
It’s remained west of us all day, but some more storms look to be popping on trajectories that may get us again. Regardless, you remain the winner amongst us foothills folk.
Same here. It feels different outside compared to the wedge experience we had over the weekend. While not particularly hot, it is decidedly warmer and the humidity is more noticeable. I think pop-up storms are likely this afternoon.
1.82 inches so far for me. Not bad, but I thought I would have had a bit more. McDowell County seems to have been the jackpot area in the foothills. @wncsnow. your totals are rocking!
This has been a huge bust IMBY. Before this last round I had only had 0.31 inch of rainfall storm total. That’s a far cry from the inch-plus in the forecast. Ouch.
Heavy rain on 321 between Lincolnton and Hickory. Driving back from a day of disc golf with my son in the Charlotte area. It’s been a while since I have seen such heavy rain as this. .
It’s been warm to hot these past few days, but it’s been a “dry heat”. Very different than peak summer humidity. I suppose this is what living in AZ is like. .
I am seriously excited for when this all flips and we get cool and rainy in May and June. I’ll take 80s now, if it means I can trade them out for a cooler late spring and early summer. 80s now feels good compared to 80s in June and July with those crazy humidity levels. Don’t they call this Blackberry Spring or something? It’ll flip the other way in a few weeks, and it will be most welcome. .
Is Raleigh a major city?
I kid! I kid! Just igniting the debate again between our "Charlotteans" and our "Raleighites".
Here's fodder for the discussion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_population
This pic was taken this afternoon of the south side of my driveway. This is the first day that the entire driveway has been almost clean. The grass is a completely different story, and the sleet is going nowhere fast. We’ll see what 60s can do tomorrow. Two inches of sleet hangs around forever…
Yes, a very pleasant surprise to watch snow fall all morning, even if it didn't accumulate to too much. Flakes are pretty small now and seems we are nearing the end of the event.
