Lookout Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 1 hour ago, NEGa said: 2.9” so far and still counting lol 4.35 here but I'm a bit disappointed. By yesterday I knew the totals would likely be less than 6 to 8 with models being a bit faster, further south, and showing more like 4 to 6 but given my location in relation to the center, I thought i still had a decent shot of 6 or 7. But heaviest stayed to the south..and even to the west..where they didnt get persistent little breaks in the heavier rain like here last night. Indeed 5 to 6 inch amounts are not that far away.. Good job by ffc with their forecast imo...likewise with gsp. Can't say the same for the gfs...it was consistently too far northwest with the axis of heaviest precip and totally missed the very heavy amounts across Central ga. Euro was too slow and wet and uk too far south with the rest doing OK in general. Glad to have gotten this rain as its been drier here than most areas nearby for the last few months.

I thought at least 4” here and since it’s been pretty boring wx lately it was nice to have at least something. It’s over here - just cloudy with drizzle. Will check when I get home but pretty sure I topped 3” but not much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthHillsWx Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Just over an inch here. Not expecting but maybe 2-2.5” total. Little bit of a bust on the low end for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wncsnow Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Seems like Sally lost some of the tropical moisture connection or was it robbed by some of the thunderstorms that formed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiQuiDBuD Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 4.01" for the event here in Cashiers, NC. Mostly steady rainfall without many "heavy" rain periods, and my gravel parking lot is quite happy due to that fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, what’s strange is it turned into a large area of stratiform rain. Almost no tropical downpours, which we almost always see with these systems. My guess was the wedge overperformed (shocker) and it lost some moisture as the boundary level flow cancelled the tropical connection. That and the fact sally wasn’t able to maintain as a tropical produced an overrunning event that expanded coverage of rain but decreased rates and flooding potential. It’s also ending much earlier than expected. Per nws I was supposed to rain through tomorrow morning with 2-3” tonight on top of my “1-2” from today but I see the back edge approaching and I’m only at 1.10.” I’m seriously doubting We even hit 2”. My farm in Franklin county, however, somehow is going on 4.” Something must have moved through there overnight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Anyone in the triangle blame me for saying this has the feel of a snowstorm we were promised moisture would not be the problem, only to have the back end show up about 12 hours before it’s supposed to and not even half the expected qpf?

NorthHillsWx Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Just below 2” as I go to bed. Definitely a good rain but a bit of a bust compared to the models and forecasts. May end up with 2.5” after tonight’s rain, raining good atm. Woke up to 2.74” and still lightly raining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
