The Charleston P&C has done an excellent job covering Helene. This is an example. “I've covered disasters around the world. After Helene ripped through the NC mountains, I went home.” https://www.postandcourier.com/news/helene-north-carolina-damage-first-person/article_0b2d62ac-89a2-11ef-a67d-5f340e06930a.html https://www.postandcourier.com/hurricanewire/

The Charleston P&C has done a tremendous job covering the hurricane. This is a good article giving details about the 50 lives lost so far in South Carolina. https://www.postandcourier.com/hurricanewire/hurricane-helene-south-carolina-deaths-obituaries/article_c12ad978-81a9-11ef-8177-7f36ecac808e.html

Chris Justice just posted this statement from the NWS. *URGENT MESSAGE* This will be one of the most significant weather events to happen in the western portions of the area in the modern era. Record flooding is forecasted and has been compared to the floods of 1916 in the Asheville area."

I feel bad for Stanford coming into this situation. Power is going to be out in most of the Upstate by early morning. It could take days to get power fully restored. Could this be the Upstate's storm of the century? Maybe not, but I am terribly concerned for major tree damage and power outages. It is going to be a scary and sleepless night in the Upstate, NE Georgia and Western NC.

We have gotten 1.25” so far, when only a couple of days ago, there was no rain in the forecast for at least 10 days. Beautiful!
-
Rain! Up to 1.20” so far. Update. We ended yesterday with 1.89” of beautiful rain. Thank God!
-
Grateful for three showers this week that have added up to 0.45 inches.
-
Getting scary. Up to 5.50” already. Yards are filling up. I am afraid the winds are going to knock down a lot of trees.

WYFF’s Chris Justice has his own new YouTube Channel. He is coming out with this detailed winter discussion at the end of this week. In the second part of this video (at the 10 minute mark), he discusses the possibility of snow for the southeast this winter.

The hot and dry forecasts have turned into cloudy, warm and humid days.
-
I hope the smoke is gone by the time summer hits.

We have added another 1.64"so far today.

We got 0.55 inches of rain today. Some areas of Greenville County along and just south of I-85 got over an inch. No one had any measurable rain in the forecast as of late yesterday. None of the computer models showed measurable rain until a slight chance after 3:00. It starring raining here about 4:00 this morning. How could the short term forecast be that bad?
-
It’s been a cold, windy and wet winter. The forecast for Thursday sounds like heaven to me. Bring it on!
-
I think it is time to "stick a fork" in it. This one is done.
-
Beautiful today. Sunny with a high of 58. We better enjoy this sunny day. It might be the last time we will see the sun until next Saturday. Depressing.

The worst part of the system seems to be coming through Greenville now. We got about 10 minutes of heavy rain and some pea sized hail. The winds were not too bad, probably staying below gusts of 25 mph. Hopefully, the worst it through us. I hope it is no worse for those east and south of Greenville.
-
We are already up to 3.20” of rain just since midnight, and it looks like the worst is still west of us. In looking at the radar, the front seems to be moving extremely slow toward the east, with the thunderstorms training toward the north and northeast. Am I seeing it correctly? If so, that is a scary and dangerous scenario for the Upstate of S.C.

It was 45 degrees at 4:30 this morning at our house near Paris Mtn. State Park. It had dropped to 26 degrees by 6:00. It is now 23 degrees. The winds were scary, topping off with a 45 mph gust. It seems as though the worst of the winds are behind us, even though we will still get 25 mph gusts. We are already dripping our faucets.
-
The dry weather continues in western S.C. At my house, we've only had a half inch of rain in the last month. The long range forecast shows no measurable rain for at least the next 3 weeks. Does anyone see a pattern change that will give us some much needed moisture?
-
Interesting article. “How a trusted weather model fumbled the forecast for Hurricane Ian.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2022/10/07/weather-models-hurricane-ian-gfs/
-
Okay folks. I am throwing in the towel for the Upstate of S.C. I don’t see us getting any rain from this storm. Hope I am wrong.
-
The computer models continue to show jogs east for Ian. I would not be surprised to see very little rain in the extreme western half of Upstate SC. That includes Clemson.
-
That model would give no rain for Upstate S.C., right ?
