Pattern May or May not

We’ve officially reached the “weeds are dead” stage of drought after only an inch of rain in April. Almost 8” short of what we should have YTD. WPC says an area wide half-inch is on the table the next 36 hours.

Hopefully tomorrow evening pans out rain wise. It's just been as dry as a bone lately.

Success (and it came in the afternoon). Didn't check the rain gauge, but there was a solid bout of rain that fully covered the road.

I'm wondering some about this line. Still some time before it gets to me, but you have tornado warnings popping up.

Prob weakens though before it gets to us.

I figured you were piling up. Everyone of those lines weakened or died as they started their rotation north just east of you, and west of me. Obviously I received some rain, about 1.5" total, but totally shafted compared to what you received.
 
First storms of the day

The heavens have finally answered with that narrow band moving up through Horry County and into SENC. Funny that ILM was poo-pooing chances of much today due to mid level dry air. Just thankful we've finally picked up that .5"-.75" we thought was coming last night.
 
For the fact we had two bouts of rain and what I heard last night as I was struggling to fall asleep...surprisingly just 0.5" I think.

But there should be a LOT more beginning in a few days.

The Euro says no for many of us. Under .50 for much of NC and SC and north GA through day 15.

I'm surprised that Flash Flood Warnings haven't been issued for Wake County considering the heavy rain that is falling from the training thunderstorms that have been over the area for the past few hours. It's going to be interesting to see what the rain gauge measures when I
get back to the house this evening.
