Maggie Ace Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Rain fell moderately during the night and it looks like a lot more is on the way. Concerned that a potential Flash Flood event could unfold later today into tomorrow. Hopefully folks camping along our creeks for Labor Day Weekend are paying attention. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainforrest Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Picked up 1.20 since midnight and 1.00 yesterday bringing my weekly total to 3.99. Looks to be a good southerly upslope through at least Monday night if not most of the week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah if that moisture from the south starts training over us we could see some localized flooding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maggie Ace Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Precipitation Discussion 0940 NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 329 PM EDT Sun Sep 04 2022 Areas affected...Southern Appalachians Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible Valid 041927Z - 042300Z Summary...Scattered thunderstorms with localized heavy rain could lead to some additional flash flooding into this evening, particularly for sensitive areas of western Upstate South Carolina. Discussion...Convergent low level flow downstream of a positively tilted trough over the Mid-South will continue to advect moisture and instability north across Georgia and South Carolina and over the southern Appalachians into this evening. Scattered convective storms have developed over northern Georgia and are approaching the western tip of South Carolina which has had two distinct areas of particularly heavy/flooding rains the past two mornings. Hourly rainfall estimates in the heaviest cells from KFFC and KGSP are generally around 1", but the increasing moisture and instability should allow rates to increase to 2"/hr into this evening. PWs are 2 to 2.2" over north-central Georgia and SBCAPE is up around 2500 J/kg over central Georgia. Recent RAP runs have that moisture and instability continuing to lift north through the central Appalachians over the next few hours on the 12kt southerly 850mb flow seen on regional VWPs over GA/SC. Mean layer SWly flow is generally 10-15kt over GA which is perpendicular to the stationary front over the western part of the state. As the risk for 2"/hr rates increases with some repeating risk the 3hr FFG of 2.5-3" could be exceeded. Flash flooding is considered possible into this evening, particularly if heavier cells get into far western South Carolina.

Met1985 Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Yeah that big swath of moisture working in from TN all day is almost here. It looks less impressive but the inhanced flow from the south will help up totals and rainfall rates a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxKnurd Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Pouring this morning from South Asheville to Hendersonville, 26 is flooded right before the hwy 64 exit due to construction runoff. If there isn’t a wreck there after I came through I would be very surprised. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Glad we got the rain we did this weekend. Usually September is very dry around here and we can get into a moderate drought in a hurry but no signs of that. This weekend we saw both Saturday and Sunday not reach 70 degrees which was very Fallish here. Temp wise this next week looks average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 Looks like a very wet weekend with temps in the 60s and 70s. This week has been a delight. We've had some rain, some nice days and currently looks like no real heat in the next week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
