Tropical Hurricane Ian

[SD]

You guys did great then!!

If I'm being honest I got lucky. I was only around .75 for much of the day yesterday but caught the edge of the core late in the afternoon and evening and piled it up on a hurry.

We as a local area probably got lucky that Ian had some forward speed and was being pulled apart some last night. Had it been slower or didn't have the dry air wrapping in most of these totals would have been 2-3x higher

That's when my rain began as well. Funny I was under yellows and some reds, but no precip falling for a decent portion of the time. Once the reds from Wake, Lee, and Harnett came NE, I finally got some wind driven rain.

No problem. I was going to post the radar estimates but it's way off.
Couple examples
Radar estimate here 2.5 I recorded 2.6 but lost 3 hours of data due to the power being out so its more likely 3.5.
Parents got 4.5 but the radar estimates 1.98

I recorded 3.12 total. But the little Tempest man came to work early this morning. Rain error in my favor, collect .31 more inches! Up to 3.43 and he's still busy. Dude's a machine. Always on time, doesn't take days off, and never calls in sick.

Turn your near cast off

I would like to report my .15 inches of rain yesterday from Ian. I would also like to report the 0.00 inches of snow I will receive this winter.

I wanna know who installed those windows.

Going to be interesting to see how drizzly/showery we can get tomorrow evening into Monday as the remnant of Ian come back south and shift offshore and the next upper end digs in. A deep N to NE flow with showers Monday could lock some areas along and west of US1 into the low 50s

Yeah… even tomorrow afternoon looks like it might start getting a little bit drizzly here. Definitely overcast cool. I’m going to the Panthers game and it’s a 4:05 start… looking like I might actually need the hoodie tomorrow and I can’t remember the last time I wore one to a game this early in the season

How accurate is yours with it turned off? Do you have another gauge to compare against?

It's much better with it off. I have an old Davis and when the nc is off they are a few hundredths apart so not bad

I've never experienced a landfalling hurricane along the SE ATL Coast with temps in the mid 60s for the duration of sensible impacts, and doubt I ever will again. It was 55 when I got to RDU yesterday morning around 8am to drop the in-laws off. You can see the warm front around 8pm, about the time of those streamers feeding a robust baroclinic enhanced axis over central NC.

Some of these totals East of I26 look low to me (I think the Spartanbug airport got more than 3 inches) but you can certainly see the big cutoff West. Only .46 for me but I'm good with that. Now if this had been a snowstorm I would be in mourning!

It is low I had 2.95 just north of Boiling Springs

Yeah I had almost 2.5” in Campobello so these are too low. One of my friends had 3.25” on the state line off of highway 9 and grandma had 3.5” in Gaffney so these appear to be way low.

I'm here to report that I survived Ian at a Disney Springs hotel thanks to my baseball helmet and ski goggles that I wore throughout the duration of the storm. Without those, I would have surely perished. Safety first people.

 

[Avalanche]

Weather channel said I had an inch here in Chatham. I think it was closer to1.25 or 1.5.

NWS has much higher totals for Chatham County.

Best video I've seen so far from Ian's eyewall.

2.66 Total for me. Winds were the fastest around 9pm. Pressure got down to 998, and i got a few gusts in the low 50s. GSO recorded a max gust of 51, so that seems about right. Lost a big branch out of a tree in the back. It's easily a foot in diameter, maybe a smidge more. It was up high, so when it came down it pulled a few more with it.

And grass seed held and really sprouted with rain on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

The remnants of Ian are still meandering around.

Gonna be the deadliest hurricane in the CONUS since Katrina sadly. Also deadliest hurricane in Florida since 1935!

I expect a lot of things to be written in the postseason about this because the failures were all around starting with the models consistently being too far west
