Tropical Hurricane Sally Inland Effects

I'd just like everyone to know that last night CJ showed a model that had 0.5 in Clemson and 0.8 here. Clemson has received 4-6" and we have topped 2" here
 
I have friends in Charlotte saying it’s not that heavy but it is raining. The radar isn’t doing to well or something. I was expecting sheets of rain near the main band but doesn’t look like that’s the case.

Glenn just posted this map and is getting crucified for it in the comments, no way is this accurate.

My house has over 5 inches right now and I am right around the 3.2 on the map.

I think something to remember is that these are radar estimate totals and with tropical systems these are going to underestimate the true intensity of the rain.
 
Agreed, and I noticed other sites were off too. So he either posted this map to justify his forecast, or he isn't looking at the ground observations. We all know there is no way he is ignoring observations, so the prior is probably true.
 
NHC says 10” poss over south/eastern Virginia. Says threat has shifted due to faster speed. I think all of coastal NC is doing very well too with way more to come that way given their precip rates are nearly double compared to here.
 
Whoa all of the sudden got a 25-30+ mph gust. Definitely an underperformer so far for rain, 2.22"

You are going to win again. Sitting at 5.12. Still having some drizzle showers but shouldn’t add up to much.

Yeah the system really got elongated and started to decouple faster than expected, it also took on a more ET look. This cut into the rain totals across your area into the upstate where the moist feed got cut off. If the circulation were still more cohesive and tropical it would probably still be dumping there
 
Was near that tornado warned storm earlier close Lakewood SC but it was completely wrapped in rain, I’ve never really chased rain wrapped stuff before, add the low clouds to boot, so I just abandoned it, back home and for some reason don’t feel well but may go back out to ENC later
