Kevinhmd Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Ended the day at 3.82 inches in Southern Fannin County Georgia...more than I expected after the slow start this morning for sure. '' Most of that (3 inches) fell between 4pm and 7pm. Sorry to all that got skipped over so far with this one...I completely sympathize, having been skipped over for most of the past 2 months!

EmersonGA Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I was 2.6" as of 8pm but weve been getting some good rain for the past 30 minutes or so. I feel lucky after seeing the rainfall maps. After getting no rain for 30 days we needed it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwagner88 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Just passed 10 inches on the dot and it is raining the hardest it has all day. Like spraying a hose on concrete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyefan1 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 This is apicture I took of a wicked looking cloud this evening in the Fairview area in Union County.When I said I wanted to get a little closer to see what exactly it was he said "Most people go away from things like that,not towards it." LOL..he just doesn't get it. Nope....some people just don't get it that came right over me a couple minutes ago..about the heaviest rain I've ever seen. I'm well over an inch in the Cocorah's gauge. I think I need to move toward your neck of the woods 0.19" .23 here as I once again got sideswiped by a warned cell that knocked down some trees in Pelion (10 miles to my west) If the 18z GFS is correct that will probably be all I get this week.

dsaur Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 .35's worth of tropical drizzle. Oh, well, at least it wasn't 90+.... and the tornado went by just to the nw again. The ground is damp, and for a few minutes during the evening, I had a puddle in the yard. Small, fleeting..but I saw it Congrats to those that saw lots more! Maybe some day soon the shaft will shift away from south of Atlanta, and we'll get good precip. down this way again. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeyefan1 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 wow, good thing you did not get the worse part, I guess. I thought that too, but I don't think the wind gusted any higher than about 30mph here and the rain was heavy, even if it was brief. At least I got to see bendy trees for a second or two That's the most excitement I've had for quite sometime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoWeatherman Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Really sucked here... .82" total here Yeah that is a total bummer. Disappointing to say the least. Ended the day at 3.82 inches in Southern Fannin County Georgia...more than I expected after the slow start this morning for sure. '' Most of that (3 inches) fell between 4pm and 7pm. Sorry to all that got skipped over so far with this one...I completely sympathize, having been skipped over for most of the past 2 months! Wow...you more than doubled me and we can't be 30 miles apart as the crow flies. I bet the upslope enhancement of the moisture going over the 3000+ ft spine of the apps just north of me did the trick for you because you are pretty much due north of me so whatever you got probably came thru me and was enhanced as it lifted over the chain. Just passed 10 inches on the dot and it is raining the hardest it has all day. Like spraying a hose on concrete. I guess I won my bet that you would get at least 1-2 more inches. LOL.

LithiaWx Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 What a day, three tornado warnings and some damage nearby. The last round to move over me was fine, there was some very heavy rain for a while but no significant winds to note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoWeatherman Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 This is my last report as I am heading off to bed. Ended up with 1.45" here in Dahlonega with a little bit more to go. Honestly it was probably the best kind of rain I could have wished for as it rained literally from sun up to sun down and was mostly light and steady so most of it probably soaked in which was very much needed up here. Here is my last map post for GA for total rainfall as of 10pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion_NC_WX Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Winds IMBY from the surface to 850mb are due south with 850 winds near 30 kts...true upslope flow is kicking in for the first time the whole event. That should ring out numerous showers the rest of the night... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwagner88 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I guess I won my bet that you would get at least 1-2 more inches. LOL. Indeed you did. 10.35 now and still coming down hard. I think we are going to make a run for 12 inches before daybreak. We've shattered our 24 hr rainfall record already. That was only 7.61 inches back in 1886.

LithiaWx Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Dobbins AFB reporting 999.1mb pressure last hour. That is a stone throw away from my location. That is my fist sub 1000mb pressure reading in quite some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still more scattered in nature, but welcomed rains nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Tamland Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 We had one brief downpour tonight around 6:00 but that's it so far. I expect tomorrow to be the day things get rocking and rolling around here. We'll be in some real threat for tornados here tomorrow during the day.

Still more scattered in nature, but welcomed rains nonetheless. Yeah...this has really been lacking for the whole event and probably was one of the factors in keeping the precip totals down area-wide. There are some 50 kt winds at 850 that could slide through here overnight which may result in one more brief surge of rain before the event ends tomorrow.

NCSNOW Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Yeah...this has really been lacking for the whole event and probably was one of the factors in keeping the precip totals down area-wide. There are some 50 kt winds at 850 that could slide through here overnight which may result in one more brief surge of rain before the event ends tomorrow. I think that the fact the surface front got hung up north of VA instead of coming on down into the Carolinas threw a monkey wrench in the mechanics for the quote perfect setup. Still pretty good rains area wide when all is said and done, but this side of the crest of the apps not as heavy a punch as what could have been. I may be jumping the gun, but we will have to count on instability to trigger the big rains more so than synoptics.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SN_Lover Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Traffic at I77 near exit 18 at NC stopped because the rain and wind was so bad. Everyone had their hazards on and visibility was at 0 for awhile. Never seen such a big lightening show too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowless in Carrollton Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 This is my last report as I am heading off to bed. Ended up with 1.45" here in Dahlonega with a little bit more to go. Honestly it was probably the best kind of rain I could have wished for as it rained literally from sun up to sun down and was mostly light and steady so most of it probably soaked in which was very much needed up here. Here is my last map post for GA for total rainfall as of 10pm. This map is way off. It shows me getting about 2.5", and I ended up with exactly 4 inches. In fact, every rainfall map i've seen has underestimated the rainfall here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1234snow Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 The wind is more impressive than I thought it would be. A huge tree limb just came crashing down right next to the house and narrowly missed one of our cars. The wind had to of been gusting around 40-50 mph at the time that it happened. Rainfall has been somewhere around 2 1/2 - 3 inches so far as the rain shadow has done an effective job at keeping totals down here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gastonwxman Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Looks like I'm at 1.58" total for this event. Not bad, though it would have been nice to get a little more but this beats no rain so I can't complain, especially considering how well I did during August.
