mercurydime Posted yesterday at 09:23 AM Share Posted yesterday at 09:23 AM Glad to see this rain. 1.67 on the meter at 9:30a. A bit surprised at the amount. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNC_Fort Posted yesterday at 11:02 AM Share Posted yesterday at 11:02 AM Was I just not paying attention or is this significantly over performing? I’m already nearing 2” and there’s a lot of heavy stuff in N Georgia/SWNC heading this way. Local creeks and ditches are overflowing (never recovered post-Helene) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love to see it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every hard rain causes issues here after Helene. And this was a major miss/underestimate by the models 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BooneWX Posted 23 hours ago Share Posted 23 hours ago 2.61” of rain. We’ve had dry conditions before this but I’m modestly worried it’ll be enough to loosen up tree roots before tomorrows wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercurydime Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago 3.2 here as it begins to taper off. Prefer that spread out a bit more. Hope no one is terribly inconvenienced. Fog is setting in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowDawg Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago 5.51” total here. Don’t remember forecasts being quite that high. Upslope enhancement never fails along the southern escarpment. Now if we could just get a synoptic snow setup with some southerly flow. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago 1.56 inches here. Still quite a bit over forecast but nothing compared to what you guys a bit further west got.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And over 4.5 of that is just from midnight to around 2 when it started to clear. Lots of flash flooding. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNC_Fort Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago I’m going to wait until Tuesday/Wednesday to make up my mind. I love snow in my backyard but if McDowell is fringe at best… I might just book a cabin in Banner Elk and have some fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strongwxnc Posted 6 hours ago Author Share Posted 6 hours ago 1.91 storm total. Over night runs still lead me to think options are on the table. The official WPC guidance has one day that is mentioned on Friday for the northern mountains. Like WNC-fort said, by early to mid week we should know. But looking like a cake job to our west in the mountains right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it won't trend more north, that will even cut snow totals up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted just now Share Posted just now Just saw a few stray flakes wander by after getting lost on their journey to our friends to the west. Not sure if I’m supposed to call that a trace or not… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
