Solak Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 A new month begins, the weather remains the same. Some keep getting showers/storms, some not so lucky. Sitting on day 11 without rain here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sitting on day 11 without rain here. I was lucky; got a little under a half inch the past few hours. Folks just to the north got much more. It really is the luck of the draw. I hate these type of storms, they pop up, don't move, and basically rain themselves out. Much rather have a line of strong organized storm preceding a cold front.

Solak Posted September 2, 2018 Author Share Posted September 2, 2018 Lots of thunder overhead from storms 10 miles to the SW moving slowly away. Still no rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 The sea breeze from the Atlantic made it this far inland, bringing with it some t'storms right now The heaviest core slid off just to the north about a mile, but did get a nice shelf cloud, numerous cracks of thunder and some decent 25-30 MPH gusts. Also got just enough rain to dampen everything up. Otherwise, today was partly to mostly sunny with a high of 89*F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarheel17 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 From Brad Panovich. Literally the most humid summer since 1971, if not ever, and it's not even close. Fall can't get here soon enough, but no end in sight in the medium-term. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's very interesting, never seen a graph like that. Most of the summer hasn't felt more humid than normal to me until recently. It has been rainy though, so there's that, guess the rainophiles got what they wanted this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and the persistent rain and chance of tstorms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted September 8, 2018 Author Share Posted September 8, 2018 Sucked a trace out of the clouds yesterday evening. Sprinkled for almost 30 seconds. Counted 42 raindrops on the trash can lid. 17 days - no measurable rain. Haven't had to mow this week because the grass stopped growing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceagewhereartthou Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I know everybody is all Florence right now, but I've gotten a heck of a lotta rain this week. Four days straight with storms, two yesterday, and a big line moving through now. I was enjoying my week or two without it but here we go again, I'll never get my yard cut. I'm so ready for some COOL and DRY weather! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted September 10, 2018 Author Share Posted September 10, 2018 Had our first measurable rain in 20 days this afternoon. A quick hitting shower dropped 0.05"!!! Looks like a decent line of storms about 35 miles away headed this way. We'll see if they hold together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 I think my AccuRite gauge might be a little off. Yeah, we had some heavy rain just now, but... 10.00"/hr rates? I dunno. 6" rates were the highest I've seen before. It does show 1.26" but I can usually subtract 12%-15% and have a better estimate. Wasn't hoping for any soaking rain before Florence got here.
