wncsnow Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Now McDowell, especially near Lake James is getting hammered. Some places will get 2 to 3 inches of rain. We got a quick heavy shower but missed the worst so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 The northern mountains with a flash flood watch in effect today. We are going to see several waves of precipitation over us the next several weeks along with the prolonged very warm temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Going to be a wet day and weekend. The impulses that have caused the flooding in Kentucky has dropped down into TN and will eventually give us a lot of rainfall in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Today has been an absolute treat. Temps in the 60s, low cloud ceiling, moderate to steady rainfall all day.

Met1985 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Looking at the next week or two it looks like the hottest weather in the nation will be west and north of us.

Maggie Ace Posted August 6, 2022 Author Share Posted August 6, 2022 Flooding concerns increasing this afternoon for the Mountains Mesoscale Precipitation Discussion 0692 NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 1255 PM EDT Sat Aug 06 2022 Areas affected...Southern and Central Appalachians Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible Valid 061700Z - 062300Z Summary...Slow moving showers and thunderstorms will continue to develop across the Appalachians this aftn and evening. These storms will be slow moving and contain rain rates of 1-2"/hr. Flash flooding is possible. Discussion...The GOES-E IR imagery this aftn in conjunction with the regional radar mosaic indicates an expansion of showers and thunderstorms from the southern terminus of the Appalachians northward through the Panhandle of WV. These storms are developing in an environment of extremely favorable thermodynamics characterized by PWs of 1.7-2 inches, and collocated SBCAPE of 2000-3000 J/kg. A shortwave noted on WV imagery moving eastward out of Kentucky is working in tandem with a weak mid-level trough overhead to enhance ascent, while return flow around high pressure centered over the Carolinas is converging into the terrain while advecting higher moisture northward. Although convection is just starting to intensify, radar estimated rain rates are already 1-1.5"/hr on local radars. The presence of the trough aloft to steepen lapse rates combined with weak height falls/PVA, upslope ascent, and robust instability will fuel rapid development and expansion of convection through the aftn. The high-res guidance is in good agreement that convection will become widespread, generally across the higher terrain, but maintain pulse-behavior as 0-6km shear remains 20 kts or less. The elongated trough aloft and high pressure centered near the Carolinas will keep overall flow weak, and storm motions are progged to be just 5-10 kts from the SW across the area. At the same time, as low-level flow veers more to the south, Corfidi vectors are progged to become more opposed to the mean flow suggesting an enhanced backbuilding or training threat, with additional slow motion possible where terrain influences impact storm initiation. These slow moving/training storms will likely have rain rates of 1-2"/hr, which could produce 1-3" of rainfall, with pockets of even higher amounts possible as reflected by the HREF neighborhood probabilities. 24-hr rainfall according to MRMS has been 1-2" with pockets of more than 3", adding to rainfall that has been as high as 200% of normal the past 14 days. This has compromised FFG to as low as 1-1.5"/3hrs in the terrain, which the HREF indicates has a 40-60% chance of being exceeded. Scattered instances of flash flooding are possible through loss of heating, with the greatest risk occurring where slow moving/training storms fall atop these saturated soils in the more sensitive terrain.

Met1985 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 4th day on a row of heavy rainfall and storms. I don't care what Asheville says but we are in a huge surplus here locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
