Does anyone know where to find the historical radar that you can go back as far as 30-60 days and see rainfall totals?

Just hit a trace for the day, that's 10 in a row and 16 of 26 for the month. Pretty impressive imo to do this in July

Day 10 here as well, picked up .21 with light/moderate rain bringing me to 12.75. I really want just another .25. Heaviest has missed me all afternoon or I'd have easily hit that 13" mark, what a month

For a lot of people. When was the last time we saw 10+ totals over a widespread area of GA, SC, NC?

It’s been at least since Foothills was on the boards. I remember him talking about a feed straight from the Caribbean a few years back that dumped for weeks.

I remember after hurricane Joaquin I believe that an atmospheric rive crushed SC but was more localized to that state.

Rain finally lightened up considerably ~25 minutes ago. Here’s a pic from ~35 minutes ago showing flooded street just before the heaviest rain started to subside. Not just the street but also sidewalks flooded on both sides as water went well over the curbs. I’m guessing that was ~3” rain within one hour. Keep in mind I had 5” during the 7 days before this giving me ~11.25” for July to date! I’ve had lots of storms this month but this complex of storms appears to have taken the cake. Besides the rain (along with decent winds near the start), the CTG lightning frequency was among the worst I can recall at least in several years. Many vehicles got stuck in flooding.

That was localized to an area from Charleston to Columbia over to near Mrytle Beach and back to Charleston with some of the worst flooding SC has ever seen. Up to 20 inches of rain in those areas while areas near the border with GA south of Augusta barely got a drop. We got around 3-4 inches of rain here over a 4-day period with that.

Probably early October 2015 at least in SC. For NC it may go back to Floyd in 1999 and in GA back to September 2009.

Sumter County was trashed by that. I had over 20 inches in two days. Schools were out for at least a week I believe. What a terrible time.

2016 comes to mind for me. Was living in Spring Lake/Cameron area and a week or two before Matthew we had a rain storm that I haven’t seen before or since. Dropped 9+ inches and then Matthew hit dropping a lot more. Biggest weather event that I had seen since Fran in 96. I was stationed overseas during the Dennis and Floyd fiasco.

Southeast receives nearly 10 inches of rain, with more on the way

The entire Southeast has been deluged with rain this weekend.

abcnews.go.com

June 2019 may be the last time that portions of NC, SC and GA received more than ten inches of rain in one month. GA is not mentioned in this specific article but NWS precipitation maps show that portions of Northern Georgia received more than ten inches of rain.
