You'd know north trend in the winter and south trend in the spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try and do some garden work were the rain would help out and restart the drought down here so y'all have a better chance at rain. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthHillsWx Posted yesterday at 01:56 PM Share Posted yesterday at 01:56 PM I guess the rain this morning disappearing might result in less stabilization of the atmosphere and more opportunity for storms this evening. Recent hi res modeling has been trending higher with storm coverage in areas that missed today’s morning rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has helped the top of the ground some but the rivers and streams didn't budge and they are talking about water restrictions coming along the Catawba River basin this summer if things don't change quickly. They are already asking people to conserve voluntarily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exceptional drought has developed east of Charlotte: https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/CurrentMap/StateDroughtMonitor.aspx?NC Hopefully this is the peak I believe that there’s notable reporting lag. I don’t mean just that the map is as of 8AM of two days ago (4/28). Based on looking at rainfall reports across the SE for prior to 8AM on Tue there was moderate to heavy rainfall in portions of especially N AL to NW SC during the several days prior to April 28th. Despite that, some of those counties actually got worse vs the map as of the prior weekly map. I believe that due to the time needed to gather reports that there’s average reporting lag of perhaps a few days. In other words, these maps as of Tue at 8AM are in reality probably reflecting closer to, say, an average of 8AM on Saturday or whatever. Tue at 8AM is just the deadline to get reports in so they have time to compile the map for the Thu AM release. In reality, there’d be reports coming in before Tue…say on a Saturday for example. And then that Sat submission could have been based on a Fri or Thu observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
