Wow! Good start to pt duh!!
Nam got the location right. The HRRrr runs from earlier wasn’t all that accurate.
On second thought, it looks like some back-building going on. Maybe head inside and get some blueberry pie.
Officially just hit .01!!! Nice totals up your way. Wouldn't be surprised to see another round between 3 and 6 am

You know as much as it sucks to not get rain, you can't go wrong with a nice outflow boundary. Sitting at a nice 75 right nowTake heart.
2 weeks ago on a whim I bought a $5.00 lottery ticket and won $500.00. Today my wife said I had a lucky smile on the face and she bought me $15.00 worth of scratch offs. Nada.
Some things we just have no control over ...
But it's fun trying and hoping, nevertheless ...

Thanks man. I’m up and to the right a stair step from Angier. Looks like we got around 1-1.5”, if I’m interpreting the scale correctly. That seems about right. I would have guessed 1-2.I'm not Shane and I don't know your exact location but....

It rained at the house for 10 minutes. No thunder and lightning.
This is boring.

It's better than nothing I suppose. Your area must be under some kind of weather dome or something. LOL
This tornado that occurred Friday a little before 4PM a few miles E of SAV hadn’t even been warned with a severe thunderstorm warning and there had been no watch either. So, no sirens had gone off. This was a highly unusual occurrence for this area in mid summer, especially with there being no organized strong storm system/no tropical cyclone:

STORM DATA.
We had almost a repeat of the prior day's PM thunderstorm on Saturday with the heaviest rain of the total of 1.25-1.5" falling between 4 and 5 PM. Unlike the prior day's storm, this one was warned as a severe storm and it gave us significantly higher winds as well as worse CTG lightning. This lead to many more power outages than yesterday with over 6,000 losing power in the county, including the longest outage I've had (~6 hours) since Irma.
I'm now up to an incredible 13.25-15.5" for the month and there still may be more over the next 3 days!! This is near the wettest of the last 20+ years with perhaps only June of 1999 and October of 2016 (Matthew) being wetter.

How is a 90% chance of rain on Tuesday a dry forecast.Forecast is dry through Tuesday! This big wet is amazing!
7.77 here 5.15 in the last 7 days. 2nd wettest July I've recorded on my weather stations and a far cry from the .36 I had a couple of years ago. I dont think that reaching 10 is an impossible thought.
