80/70 now feels like summer
The sun is making an appearance here southeast of Lake Wheeler in Raleigh. I hope that can stir up some instability and get some showers and thunderstorms going here later this afternoon and tonight. The temperature has climbed up to 75 degrees.

Its been about 48 hours since the sun has come out here and its only gotten up to 70 so far today. Although it looks like the edge may not be too far from here. Hope we can get some solid rain later as well.

Raining again. 3rd day in a row.
I'm not going to check for exact-ness, but the last two days combined were about 1.45"ish.

That's crazy. There are places near you with 5-6 inches plus of rain.

I've sometimes questioned the rain gauge (though I've been told that gauges are accurate), but I can tell the truth on yesterday and say that the severe thunderstorm mostly whiffed me. I did pick up rain, but not the worst of it.
I have an Augusta address, but Burke County is probably walking distance for me on a good day if I wanted to try, so I'm really not in the city or even close.

Ok that may be why then. The storms seemed to be right around the city and on up into SC towards Greenwood, Columbia, and Saluda.

The wedge is finally breaking here. It'll probably not make it much farther north though. I'd expect Gaffney and Spartanburg to stay in it.
Per Cocorahs reporting stations, there’s nothing close to 5-6” near Augusta for the 48 hours ending at 7AM today though I do see a 3.37” at one place in Columbia county, GA:
24 hrs ending 5/23 7AM: heaviest of 1.82”-2.65” (all in Columbia county)
24 hrs ending 7AM today: heaviest 0.72-0.78” in Columbia county and 0.68” in Aiken county

The rain is really coming down for areas along and east of Interstate 95. It looks like the Central and Eastern Piedmont in North Carolina will stay high and dry overnight.

Got my wish! Just picked up 0.6” in the last 20 minutes. Easily the heaviest downpour we’ve had all year. Storm to the west is trying to turn east a little so we might not be done yet.
A month's worth of rain in the last 4 days here...
Thu - 1.33"
Fri - 1.37"
Sat - 0.67"
Sun - 1.11"
Total 4.48"

Congrats! What is your total for this evening?

Tempest showing 1.2” so far. More showers developing so might add on a bit more.

Very disappointing .4” total so far this weekend just outside of GSO. Really hoping we cash in tomorrow

.79" for the week. Not a good sign. I'm not sure we break 1 5" for this pattern.
.0, holding at .28
wow

Around 0.6" since Thursday. Been in the minimum since spring began. Have yet to see a bolt of lightning this year.
Nice! Did you add to your 1.2” from the additional developing showers or did they fizzle? I’m curious because I know someone who lives not too far away from you (other side of I-85 S of Mall of GA).

Major rain hole in this area. I’m sitting around 0.75” for the event. This is since 5/20. Hoping we get out of the shaft zone with next round.

Im actually about 7-8 miles east of the mall now. Used to live right near there. Picked up another 0.1” from those showers so 1.3” for the day. Based on radar estimates the heaviest may have been back towards the mall.
Theres actually another cell coming in from the west, but it looks like its gonna barely miss to the north.
Do you have a radar estimated precip map for this evening that includes the corridor from the Mall of GA south along GA 20 to ~5 miles S of I-85? My friends live ~2 miles S of I-85. TIA

Best I got is the 3 hour rainfall from about 6-9 PM on radarscope. Pretty sure it tends to be a bit higher than reality, but it shows the footprint of highest totals pretty well. Purple is estimated 1”+ darker blue is 2”+. Hope that helps!
I77 area western NC will jackpot tonight. Mby -east we will have to wait till Monday
Buckets of rain here in the upstate
wow

Finally hit a heavy cell.. first really heavy rain of the season. Even had a couple lightning bolts!

This illustrates the area south of Atlanta that is struggling to get meaningful drought relief. I sure hope it improves, but I don't think it will, based on model output. We may get over 1.5" total, but we really need the 3" to 4" to get our soil moisture improved.Major rain hole in this area. I’m sitting around 0.75” for the event. This is since 5/20.

Maybe longer than that. I'm betting tomorrow will be a lot like Saturday with very little going on.
Some areas near the Chattahoochee river received over 5" last night with more today. As of tonight I've gotten 3.3" from this event and 7.4" for the month.
Headed up I-26 and there is -still- in situ wedge hanging up against the last 15 miles before the mountains. Full fog and mist, but at least temps up to 66F. Interested to see if it’s clearer in Henderson co
Overcast but skies brightened and mist cleared the moment I entered the French broad valley. Another 5min down the road and there’s sun trying to shine. Clockwork
