mackerel_sky Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Thanks! I'm in the 70-90% range (low-end, I'm sure). SW Charlotte 150-200%! Yep. SOO dry here! Sounds like yer fat wife tryin' to eat Doritos in-the-middle-of-the-night, cheatin' on her diet, when... ... you step across the lawn to take the trash out. Very crunchy, God-Awful Ugly!! It's as dry as a popcorn fart! Looking forward to my 1-2 inches. ? The moisture influx on this front looks alot better for precip than the last big rain chance! NWS will probably wait until we surpass 2 inches before they put out a flood watch , after the last snafu ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Another warm day here at 87 but the dew point is down to 69 right now. Feels better out there compared to yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalicwx366 Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Crazy how those storms over S Alabama and FL Panhandle are just training over the same areas barely moving E. 70 degrees with light rain 0.42 so far today. Had some decent storms an hour ago with a 43mph wind gust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crapper Jim Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 87. Even the clover and 'weed myriad... my lawn' are meowing for water when I walk by. I feel sorry for all of them. The grass has crawled back into the womb. We can't miss again, can we? Please tell me... we can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the last summer was so wet, I can't remember the last time I've needed a good rain this bad! Already had to turn on the sprinklers a few times , just to keep shrubs and trees alive! Watering tomatoes in pots almost daily! The radar looks beautiful and this is a different set up than the last whiff, you can already see it on radar, not like last time! Good vibes on this one! 82 and skies getting dark to the south! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackerel_sky Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 1.52 overnight. 68 degrees, looks like heavy stuff is over, maybe another quarter inch or so, was a good event. Had some house shaking thunder around 3 or 4 a m! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEGa Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Wow, I am a little surprised that there are almost no posts about the rain/storms last night. Maybe ne ga was lucky - but the storm/rain shield looked pretty decent late in the evening. A bunch of heavy rain/storms here over night. My dog kept me up quite a bit. 3.92" in the gague this morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Nice totals, NEGa. I'm nearing an inch of rainfall IMBY here in Hickory, NC. The motion of the storms seems to be changing. IMO, the rain shield has shifted from moving NE to almost due N now. I think the axis of precipitation will soon tilt negatively and continue to funnel rain over the piedmont and foothills of NC for a good portion of the day.

Had some house shaking thunder around 3 or 4 a m! <Had some thunder about 10:30 last night. I was half-asleep. Don't see the 1"+ as Mack promised. Some "ponding prone areas" were still dry this morn. I'll check. Like most the Winter, and all the Spring... all the action is roughly from Charlotte and eastward. 69. About .15" since early this morn... best guess.

Crapper Jim Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Some nice gusts just blew threw... taking out my trash bin. That takes about 35mph. But, it had 20lbs. of cat **** in it - deposited after trash pick-up this morn. Calculating a 41+ mph gust. Who needs fancy weather equipment?

metalicwx366 Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 I forgot to mention this. Not sure if it was from strong winds or lots of rain(probably both) but there were a lot of trees down in the area Wednesday afternoon and Thursday.
