I really did! Lol. 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.

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.

A quarter inch of rain never felt so wet.

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

Blame the gravity waves.

Haha I’ll blame something. Southern wake got over 1.5” radar estimate. This is still our biggest rain in forever

I have no official meteorological observation but I sure am glad to experience this slightly training band of moderate rain northeast of CLT.

Picked up a nice .78" today. Even heard some thunder.

[Wow]

0.38 yesterday and 0.25 today.  it's something!  Still screwed... this has been a repeating issue here.

That map is so wrong. Showing 1 to 1.5 inches for my overall area within 40 miles, we got 4.8 inches in that area. Not sure where the data is coming from.

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.
