GeneR4 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 As of 6pm, crossed the 5" storm total for rain. Still have wrap around rains on radar. Since onset of rain Friday night, I have had 2.75" in my rain gauge here in Madison, AL. Possible another 1-2" before all is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCBlizzard Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Finished with 3.47" here. It's amazing how much water there is standing. After the 3" last weekend and now this, everything is green and all local lakes are full or running over. Lots of debris on the roads today with some parts washed out. Definetly don't miss the drought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Decent rotation on that cell near Mt. Airy. Anybody think these will turn tornadic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburns Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 1.25" so far. NWS has a 70% chance of rain here through Wed. night. Had a nice rainbow about an hour ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion_NC_WX Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I finished up with 5.78 inches...we had perfect Southeast upslope flow for 24 hours. I'm actually amazed that I picked up more than our Transylvania County forum members did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 The 18Z Hi-Res NAM model shows a relative lull in the precip overnight for the majority of NC and then the action picks up again later tomorrow afternoon. This model is then quite bullish on active, unsettled weather through Thursday. So, it looks like we'll get a brief respite before more rains (and possible storms) arrive tomorrow through Thursday. This week should definitely produce more precipitation, of generous amounts, and not just for the western half of the state: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 With the a clear sky this evening I thought the temp would drop off pretty fast but wow did it really drop. Down to 41 degrees right know. Makes me wonder if we can get some showers breaking out if the higher elevations could see some snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 apparently some mountain got snow yesterday. winter weather in may? hopefully the rest of this summer is below average Ya mikegold posted a link in the mountains thread about a skiff of snow up there and some snow up a beech mountain also. Ya crazy stuff for sure at this time of the year. We have dropped to 38 degrees right know which is crazy. Our average low is 52 degree. Our recent highs have been in the upper 40s at the house lately. I do love this weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarvelMountain Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 No snow down here, but it was 39 at 6:30 this morning. Creeks are still high, and NC 9 between Black Mountain and Lake Lure is closed, as well as US 74A between Bat Cave and the Continental Divide. Rock and mud slides are the culprits. When I-40 westbound was closed Sunday night, the only way to Asheville was through Hendersonville, quite a detour..... Here's a pic from yesterday when the sun reappeared after three days, and one from this morning of Wolf Pen Mountain at sunrise. So green....

kvegas-wx Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Thunder is kvegas!!! Snow in 10 days right? I mean heck, we never really left winter! Back to the steady rains for a while.

Beautiful pics up that way! Ya this has been a very impressive run of cold from about March onward. We had a low this morning of 37 and rain has started back this evening with a temp of 54 degrees. our average low for this time of the year is 52.

dwagner88 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Looks like 4.79 was the official storm total at the airport. Radar indicates that most of the northern part of the county got between 6-8 inches total. The monthly average is 4.10 so it can be dry for the rest of the month as far as I'm concerned.

Met1985 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 We are back into moderate rain this morning and by the looks of it we could have another nasty day on tape with rain low clouds and cool temps. Will be interesting if we get some heavy storms in here to see if the river rises pretty quickly since the level has not fully dropped back to normal.

Lookout Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 It's been a while since I posted due to a lot of bad health issues but I ended up with 3.65 inches. And of course it's been very wet here for quite some time. It's just amazing to me, after so many years of drought to see water coming out of the ground and making it's way down the driveway and to see what used to be small streams that always ran when I was little, then dried up for years...now running again. Even more strange and bizarre is to see my bigger lake not only full but a bit out of it's banks. It's been years to see it so full/over it's banks (2004/2005(?) when we had all those hurricanes and so forth) so it is just absolutely bizarre. incredible, and wonderful to see it so full. Keep in mind that it's been nothing but a large and dirty mud puddle..(down god knows how many feet and something like 100 feet from it's banks) for years and years. Now it's clear and, again,full. However, to say it's nice to see all of this is an understatement. Not to mention so much green grass after it being so brown for so many years. I know the cows love it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
