Well starting earlier today than "progged" with new convection along and south of I 85...
Even with PGV getting 3.25 inches lastnight we still have a 5 inch deficit. More is needed and if we slip back onto a dry spell it will slide right back into drought.
More needs to be done for some folks for sure. But this was a significant blow to the drought and will reduce severity and shrink it area wide for many.Even with PGV getting 3.25 inches lastnight we still have a 5 inch deficit. More is needed and if we slip back onto a dry spell it will slide right back into drought.
PGV has obs every 20 minutes. At 15 after 35 after and 55 after every hour. Last night at the 7:35 obs they recorded .86 and at 7.55 it had 1.17. That's some insane rain rates.
The heaviest rain ended up just north of me last night so I only ended up with .17 in last nights round, although spots a few miles north look to have gotten another inch of rain.There have been some massive rainfall totals in east and northeastern Georgia over the past few days. @BufordWX is probably going to pass 10" tonight for the month already. I feel lucky to have gotten almost 4" so far. The drought is being dented in pretty hard right now.
