1.85" in the rain gauge Monday morning, 0.48 this morning for a grand total 2.33" with a light mist falling in Chapin SC, nearly dead center of the SC drought map.  Didn't get as much as some but not too shabby.

And just like that the sun is out, crazy how the back edge clears out, with the ULL aloft if we get enough sun to get the surface heated we should see showers and storms fire back up later this afternoon....the NAM3k does this right over my area. Nothing like a few torrential downpours to add to the rain totals if they come to pass.

That last flood warning for Raleigh was a "PDS" Flood Warning, crazy images on WRAL......its a safe bet that many many places set daily rainfall and probably monthly rainfall records with this event across NC.
