Pattern May or May not

about 1.36~ closing in on 1.50" of precip here in Topsail..
Just enough "training" and lift for back building Rains coming off the Ocean..

Some were quite the gully washers!

73F
Low this morning of 68F
SE winds @ 12/13mph.
humidity 97%
dew point 72.1
Pressure º30.23
 
Sitting at 3.96" since 5/1. Good rain but somewhat ominous the ponds and swamps aren't really filling up. Just shows how dry the soils are it's not running off. At the end of April we were 2"-5" below our average soil moisture content for this time of year.

Lots of re-seeded corn is popping which is nice. Hopefully this is the start of a more normal rainfall pattern. It'll all be for naught if we go the next 3 weeks without rain again.

ILM says the overnight stuff coming through and scattered storms the next couple of days should get us another 1" or more.

@ChrisAMB, opined, ditches etc.. are NOT filling, nor ponding, ground soils are soaking it up..

Same here..

Hopefully, this will help fire fighting efforts in Horry/Brunswick/Onslow/Pender counties..

Burn ban has officially been lifted but it's not like it was being enforced anyway. Lots of areas driving around you see where fires got out of control and FD had to put them out. Police seem allergic to writing citations for that sort of thing.

Top 10 wettest May on record already for CHA. Only need another 1.40" in the next 19 days to get into the top 5.

At KSAV (airport), rainfall is already up to a whopping 7.9” for May 1-12! That’s over 6 times the normal for that period and more than double the normal for the full month. It is already up to 9th wettest May on record back to the 1870s and 2nd wettest to 1915 for the wettest May 1-12 on record. There remains lots of standing water in low spots, including the back portion of MBY.

Other than the flooding in some low areas, this has been quite beneficial since the area had just been in a moderate drought per the monitor.

Road closures throughout the Coastal Empire caused by flooding:

CANDLER COUNTY, Ga. (WSAV) – After weekend storms, many roads are still washed out or impassable in rural parts of the Coastal Empire, like Bulloch, Tattnall and Candler counties.

WSAV visited Candler County Monday and found several dirt roads flooded with ankle-deep water as well as significant infrastructure damage in some areas.

When asked about the flooding Candler County Sheriff John Miles said, “We’ve seen between five and ten inches of rain, and what that did was impact a lot of our county roads. We had some roads that were just muddy, and we had some roads that were almost completely washed out.”

Columbia, SC, has had 6.83” during May 1-12. Going back to 1888, that’s the 2nd wettest for 5/1-12 with only 2002 slightly wetter at 7.64”!
 
Is this possibly a wall cloud? I don’t think it is as no watches or warnings here but interesting nonetheless. This is 85 at exit 65 in Rowan County NC
