  1. Heavy rain setting up over the Catawba Co/Hickory area again.
    Additional rainfall amounts of two inches are possible in the warnedarea. Extensive urban flooding is expected across the Hickory areathrough the middle part of the evening. The water will rise veryquickly across Hickory because of the rainfall that happened lastnight.

    Yep. This is crazy. We now have added another 2.45 inches of rainfall today. It's a firehose. Might be a little break coming shortly. My basement is beginning to take water. Ugh. Just got home from Asheville area where it was surprisingly much drier. Only to find water seeping into basement. Got out the wet vac and cranked it up.

  2. Fortunately, the rain stopped shortly after 1:00 AM last night. So, I now sit at 5.16 inches since the Big Wet Weekend began. That's already at the upper threshold of what some of the global models were predicting for the entire thing. How big can we go?

    Went back out this morning with the lull in the rain to more properly clear all my gutters. I have never cleared gutters after midnight before (like last night), but I was really worried about our basement flooding with all the rain just draining right along the walls. Fortunately, none of the finished areas have any water influx, as of yet. The crawl space has some wet block walls (from where gutters were not properly draining) but no standing water. I think we're ready for round two now. I'm not sure how we'll hold up for rounds three, four, ...

  3. 4.94 was my calendar day total. Now at 5 I and coming down steadily. Just went out to clear gutters in our front walkway to keep water from pouring into basement. Should've done that yesterday...

  4. Over 4.5 inches so far today, with more heavy rain falling and in the pipeline. This is insane! Also, low rumbles of thunder with these tropical convective showers.

  5. 3.74” at the house today! Came down hard!


    .
    Also over three inches here in Hickory. Still raining steadily with flash floods warnings and flood advisories for the area.

  6. The wet weekend has begun here in Hickory as of about an hour ago.  I'm expecting upwards of 4 inches of rainfall when all is said and done, but we'll see if it all materializes as forecasted.  So much for hiking this weekend in WNC...  I'm glad I got the lawn mowed yesterday evening after work.

  7. 2 hours ago, shaggy said:

    Yeah been very pleasant the last 3 days. 

    Agreed.  And, even the hot days from a few days ago were not that bad because the humidity was so low and there was a constant breeze.  Maybe there's something to be said for that dry heat they have in Arizona...

  8. Was very fortunate to pick up a quick 0.09 inch of rainfall about a half hour ago. Widely scattered showers over this way. That may be the last rain we see for a week or more.

    Caught another brief shower to bring the day's total to 0.25 inch. We were quite fortunate.

  9. Yesterday's combined 0.2 - 0.5 forecasted rainfall totals never really materialized. Finished with 0.15 inch. 0.1 of that was around 1:00 AM. The other 0.05 was around 8:00 PM. Rather a bust in my book, when the point-and-click was advertising the amounts above and 80-90% chances of showers and thunderstorms for the day and evening.

  10. Drove threw two tornado warnings on the ride up US 64 from Lake Lure, NC, to Hickory, NC, this afternoon. First was in Rutherford County and second was in either McDowell or Burke County. (Phones alerted us to the warnings.) Rain and wind were intense. But, we never saw any rotation. Had radar up the whole ride to see where we were in location to the warned storm. Not a fun drive...

    I'm at Lake Lure this weekend, but watched that radar signature closely. Fortunately, it weakened considerably before it passed over my house.
