WNC_Fort Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 @wncsnowWhere’d you end up between yesterday and today? Seems like Old Fort, Marion, and Morganton were in the sweet spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 1.82 inches so far for me. Not bad, but I thought I would have had a bit more. McDowell County seems to have been the jackpot area in the foothills. @wncsnow. your totals are rocking! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels different outside compared to the wedge experience we had over the weekend. While not particularly hot, it is decidedly warmer and the humidity is more noticeable. I think pop-up storms are likely this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Getting heavy rain again and the radar looks juicy. It’s remained west of us all day, but some more storms look to be popping on trajectories that may get us again. Regardless, you remain the winner amongst us foothills folk.

I think we could get close to 10 inches by the upcoming weekend...could easily turn into too much too quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could go from drought to too much real quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BooneWX Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Closing in on 3.5” since about 8:10. 4 mini landslides on my back hill. The entire bank is gone in spots with waterfalls and a foot of standing water at the back of the yard. I had just finished overhauling the landscaping anddddd it’s gone. Plants uprooted as well.

WNC_Fort Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 This is exactly what I was worried about. Too much of a good thing. Heck, these storms/rains have barely moved in spots all evening. Really worried about my Bat Cave friends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, that sucks, @BooneWX . So sorry. We wanted the rain, and when it finally came, it came in buckets. I have almost 3 inches in the same time period, but it’s slacked off here. No damage, yet, that I can tell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmoon Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Seems like all or nothing around here these days. We are either in a drought or we are flooding and nothing in between. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
