NC_hailstorm Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Storms fired early today around 11 30 AM, picked up 1.02'' from a localized cell. Gets me over 6'' for the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaWx Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtg947h Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Third day in a row of rain all around us and plenty of thunder but not a drop at the house. At least I don't have to mow this weekend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 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: 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbmclean Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 There are finally cells firing in my area but at this time none seem good candidates to hit me. It's maddening! I'm at 0.85" for the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEwakenosnowforu Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 I am under 0.50 for the month of August...everyday it rains around us. So sick of this. July was great though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Most of the rain missed us yesterday as some areas just to my northwest picked up over 2". High was only 79 as clouds remained most of the day. Ended with .07". This puts my monthly total at 5.41". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbmclean Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 2 hours ago, NorthHillsWx said: 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.

GaWx Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 I somehow missed posting about Sunday’s rainfall rough estimate at my home. I was alerted to it by Cocorahs and local TV wx. I very roughly estimate my home got 1”. That gets my total MTD through yesterday of a solidly wetter than normal ~8.85” to help the drought.

Frankpc Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 1.9" for August monthly total. Dryness is back. September averages wet, but I suppose much of that was driven by tropical moisture. We'll see ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
