1. Based on Corcorahs and radar yesterday, I roughly estimate 0.1” fell at my home yesterday (8/27) thus bringing my location at 7.35” mtd through 8/27.

2. More rain has fallen and is still falling there today. I’ll have to roughly estimate later how much for 8/28. As of now the total for today I’m guessing 0.5” at the very least.

Edit: my rough estimate for 8/28 at my home is 0.5” based largely on local TV radar estimates. That puts me at ~7.85” MTD.

As you probably guessed I was certainly going to try and view the lunar eclipse two nights ago. The forecast looked bleak but I tracked satellite trends and made my west to an area just north and west of Siler City, NC (near Liberty, NC). I was able to break out of the clouds to mostly clear skies and got this at the peak:

May be an image of eclipse

This is somehow way cooler than a full eclipse

LOL, 15% chance of rain and we have 1.75" so far for today and it's still raining albeit lightly. That puts me at 7.16" so far this month.

Edit: Ended up at 1.94" for the day.

Crazy variance across the state in rainfall totals this month

Overall a dryish month across the state.  Broadly speaking the southern half of the state did OK.  The northern half, outside of the mountains had a very bad month, especially the NE quadrant.  Very frustrating as we had made huge progress from D2/D3 all the way back to D0 or D1 but now we're right back in the hole.  What makes it even more frustrating is that it's not like a massive ridge baking out the Southeast; there's been plenty of moisture around and several episodes of good lift, stalled fronts etc.  For some reason cells had a hard time popping and those that did seemed to have a short lifespan.
