Last 18 mos in my area, its either a drought, or a flood. Up to 4.75" of rain now, more than 4 of it in 2 hours. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted May 7 Author Share Posted May 7 Looking at official rainfall totals, a large portion of AL, TN, N and C GA, NW SC to CAE, and NC including CLT received ample to very heavy (flooding) rainfall since yesterday! Fantastic news regarding the drought and kudos to the Euro Weeklies to being on top of this potential for several weeks.——————This is just from FFC:MOST LOCATIONS HAVE SEE ANYWHERE FROM 0.5" TO 1.5" OF PRECIP WITH SOME ISOLATED LOCATIONS SEEING UPWARDS OF 2" TO 4". 1 LOCATION HAS SEEN 5.29" (CSG). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthHillsWx Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Another underperformer in Raleigh, though we’re at 0.68” including yesterday’s shower. Good rain but was pretty certain we’d get at least an inch given forecasts and models. MTD 0.82” which equals our entire month of April rainfall here. It’s still raining a little so these are not final totals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaWx Posted May 8 Author Share Posted May 8 My area got only a couple of hundredths today (all this morning), much less than expected and thus disappointing. But I’m still thankful we got 1.2” on Saturday (5/2) and am also looking forward to weekend prospects for good rains. It’s overall still going in the right direction.

yotaman Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Had a heavy shower come thru late which upped my total for the day to .90". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 We finished with 0.71” from the event which brought the mtd total to 0.85” which now exceeds the entire month of April at both my location and RDU, if that puts into context how dry last month was. It now looks likely given a few more rain chances we will break 1” of rain for the month, which normally wouldn’t excite me but with the way it’s been that is a serious milestone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 RDU only recorded 0.49” with the system and even that paltry total was the wettest day there since March 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaWx Posted May 10 Author Share Posted May 10 I got only ~0.08” last night and only ~.01” during the daytime today, both pretty disappointing vs expectations. MTD is ~1.3” as of 5/9, ~1.2” of which fell one week ago (5/2) with a nice soaking 18 hour rain. ————— Edit at 1:20 PM on May 10th: This morning after midnight (on 5/10) I once again got only a few hundredths, which puts me at ~1.35” MTD.

Everything like to miss this small area for some reason. I'm glad we got the rain, although .52 for the event but areas about 15 mins NW got over an inch. Sitting a paltry .55 MTD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
