GaWx Posted Friday at 05:19 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:19 PM Please post May ‘26 obs from your area as well as current wx events/obs for other areas. Hope all or at least most areas of the SE get good rains this month to help with the ongoing drought. The two big SE GA fires are now ~40% contained thanks to help from recent rains down there. My area has had some showers this morning, which includes some isolated small heavier ones. The main show (widespread 1”+) for here as well as for the fire areas is tonight through tomorrow.

cbmclean Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago 0.43" for the day. 1.32" for the week. 1.53" since last Saturday. Together with reduced evaporation from cool temps, the bleeding is stopped...for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsman Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago .20" for the day and a high of 57 at 4:14pm. Thinking about running the fireplace one more time, I can tell from the air others have been running theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted 1 hour ago Author Share Posted 1 hour ago Since the middle of last night, my area had ~18 hours of near continuous rain, which added to ~1.2” at my place. This was well predicted. It was a near perfect rain to help with drought since it was mainly light to moderate meaning little runoff. I’ll refine this final amount later, if needed. Yesterday’s showers added to only a few hundredths. This is the first event with 1”+ here since way back on Dec 4-5! Great start to May. That also means ~2.2” over the last 7 days in an area that had gone to extreme drought on the latest map due to extreme dryness back to Sept, near the worst drought condition in the US. This doesn’t end the drought but does put a nice dent in it even if only temporary. Hopefully others in a similar situation get similar relief soon if they haven’t already. This event should also have helped with the big fires to the SW. Due to the rain and N winds north of the front, it was quite cool for May with low 60s all day.
