bckhd2 Posted Friday at 04:53 PM Share Posted Friday at 04:53 PM Been unbelievably dry in Georgia. We got 0.15" on Easter and that's been it since that cold front in mid-March. I coach baseball and softball and the kids are all complaining that the clay's dried up so much it feels like they're sliding on concrete. On the bright side, we haven't had a single rainout yet (knocking on wood). FFC says this is our greatest drought (D2-D4) coverage since 2007. 2/3 of the state in at least extreme drought.

No there wasn’t enough precip with that system even in the heaviest snow areas to make a dent in this drought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted Saturday at 05:42 PM Share Posted Saturday at 05:42 PM Looking highly likely this will be the 3rd in last 6 months with less than 1” total precip here. Historic dry stretch for triangle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeps hitting 10 days then each chance dries up Today’s Euro Weeklies almost as wet as yesterday’s for 4/27-5/3 in SE. This is ~1.1-1.7” for the SE averaged out. Fingers crossed. I’d like to stop irrigating for awhile. Plus we have restrictions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzook Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago Front just came through....ZERO precip. Starting next Saturday though looks like an actual chance for some real precip for a few days! One can dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BooneWX Posted 6 hours ago Author Share Posted 6 hours ago I get a feeling when we break out of this, we’ll do the polar opposite. Rainfall has been a case of too little or too much the past few years. It’s either bone dry or a flood risk. We really stink at doing it the old fashioned way by having that weekly type of event. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today’s Euro Weeklies run is the wettest yet for the SE as a whole for Apr 27-May 3rd with ~1.25-1.75” over much of the area! And as an added bonus, the subsequent week (May 4-10) has a bit of a wetter signal than prior runs had: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
