This is one of the cases where I would go with the GFS as far as rain totals through Sunday. The Euro totals would be great for eating away the rainfall deficit that most of us have but I don't buy close to 10 inches of rain falling in southern Wake County in a week unless a tropical system was producing those totals.

Stalled front is another way.
 
This is a good one!! Love it
Congrats man. I know you've been on the outside looking in a lot lately, and you've had to put up with some of us in more populated areas harping about it. (some more than others 🤣 )

Got a fairly nice pouring here the past 15 minutes BTW. Not as much as you, but I ain't complaining.
 
Ill never understand how it can be in the mid 90s with dews near 80 and not rain

Not only that - but little evidence that it looked like it may rain - nothing is moving, no triggers or ofb, zero. Took until 7pm last night before I heard the first thunder in the distance. 99°/74° yesterday and nothing <again>

Back to near 0% rain chances and temps around 100 tomorrow

Indeed!
The historic Nashville, TN, floods of 5/1-2/2010 were the result of a stationary front:

According to the Memphis Office of the National Weather Service:

A significant weather system brought very heavy rain and severe thunderstorms from Saturday, May 1 through Sunday morning, May 2. A stalled frontal boundary coupled with very moist air streaming northward from the Gulf set the stage for repeated rounds of heavy rainfall. Many locations along the I-40 corridor across western and middle Tennessee reported in excess of 10 to 15 inches, with some locations receiving up to 20 inches according to Doppler weather radar estimates.[5]
Several rainfall records in the Nashville area were broken during the rain event. 13.57 inches (345 mm) fell during the two-day period of May 1–2, doubling the record of 6.68 inches (170 mm) set in September 1979 during the passage of the remnants of Hurricane Frederic.



Several weeks in advance, I had planned with some friends my first trip ever to Nashville. I was living in Dunwoody, GA, at the time. However, after seeing many model runs several days in advance suggesting a washout of that weekend, it was a very easy decision for me to suggest we cancel our reservations/the trip and thus we called it off. Whew!!! The hotel we were going to stay at was flooded badly (I think into the first floor), which would have totaled the car! Who knows what else would have happened?

Latest named storm reminds me of this blast from the past July 96. (also named Bertha)

One of the first landfalling NC TCs I remember tracking. No one remembers it much now since Fran came around later in the season. 1996 was a fun year to track weather around here. It spoiled me for years after that.
