I had around 4 inches. The Vantage Vue said 3.8 inches, but I’m not exactly sure on the total amount, as a leaf got stuck in the Vue yesterday afternoon and caused me to miss some of the accumulation.

Enjoying this slogfest up there in Boone? LOL Baseball score of 3-2 right now. Go App!
-
Yeah, this has been underwhelming so far. I have one third of an inch of rainfall, and an occasional breeze here and there. It is chilly, though. Remaining under 60 degrees. Perhaps the heavier rain will come in this evening, but that’s not what just a bare analysis of the current radar image would make you think.

48.1 F here this morning in the urban heat island of NE Hickory. Lots of new housing going up in this area.
-
47.8 F for my low this morning!
-
3.42 for me. Very similar to @Ernest T Bass .
-
Been steadily raining this evening, but I think y’all got more to my west again. Just shy of 1.5 inches now since midnight, but hardly any returns on radar.
-
Wow! Y’all are killin’ it in the rain gauge. I got close to an inch since midnight, but your totals are much heavier.
-
Why is it being retired? Does it really cost anything to just let it run indefinitely?
-
Over an inch and a half of rain and still falling. Crazy storm total.
-
Sitting in my drive for the past 15 minutes because it has been raining so hard, and I don’t wanna make a break for it. Pea size hail, too! First hail I have witnessed this year. Eager to see the gauge totals when I get inside.
-
Your spaceship description was spot on. It had those low white wispy clouds out front and then just dark, dark, blue grey behind. The wind and rain were both fierce. I ended up with 1.01 inches this morning. According to NWS, more to come this afternoon/evening…
-
Amazing looking storm. Insane rain once it hit, too. Here’s a couple pics I took.
-
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.
