GaWx Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Getting our best rains (and just about our only rains of note) since April 5th’s nearly 1/2”. Currently have a band of heavy thunderstorms coming through with some rumbles. I haven’t watered since 4/22 and this will allow me to go further without going back to watering. I ended up with ~0.8”, the heaviest here since at the very least March 8th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty more to come over the next few days and hopefully over the next few weeks. I think the worst of this drought is done for a good portion of the SE. I got 0.8” on Sunday. That was the heaviest for me since at least March 8th (corrected). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just watched all the rain north of Atlanta disappear over my county, only to have it redevelop after my county. You seriously can't make this up. Lol. I'm guessing eventually it will rain?

suzook Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 1.5" total from yesterdays light event, and this morning heavy event. Could possibly get a little more in an hour or so if it holds together. Much needed rainfall finally. We haven't had any since Easter, and before that was 3 weeks. Literally an inch of rain in 2 mos before this event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
