Pattern May 2026

[weatherfide]

I'm the new Shetley. .06" and heavies all around me.

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

Getting smoked with rain here. Streets are flooding. More behind it

 

[BufordWX]

Getting a solid little downpour. 3rd day in a row with rain here although this is easily the heaviest one.

CAD is killing this in the northeast upstate and into much of western NC where rain is needed the most and I expect this to continue. The area from GSP to Hickory up to Mt Airy and 40 miles either side of this of this line will not do well at all until this stupid CAD lets go.

 

[J.C.]

Region northwest of Atlanta up 50 miles is getting nothing, models have kinda shown that. Our rain chances should be 20-30% per day, not 60-80%.

Man the Euro overnight for the next two weeks is straight up glorious. The EPS agrees. The 6z GFS, however, brings the backdoor front through and kills rain chances for week two for a good bit of the area. That is one of the things I'm worried about, but it may be too aggressive. GEFS hasn't finished running yet, so IDK if it fully agrees or not.

We toss

CAD is going to win this. The drought is going nowhere. CAD will destroy both weeks in the foothills and western piedmont. Al, GA, and Tenn, along with parts of the central Carolinas look great though.

E ATL burbs doing quite well!

Does anyone have a link to radar estimated rainfall?

 

[BufordWX]

Got nearly a half inch today! Pretty decent band of stratiform rain the past hour.

You're not even in reality here. Check out the radar. You're county is getting a very solid rain as we speak and there are some big lines behind it. It's just getting started and you've got an entire week at least to go. I've already had 1.02. Calm yourself and try to use some rationality.

Northeast part of the state got pounded and it getting it again.

Did you end up getting anything this afternoon? It looks to set up in the same place tomorrow too. Northwest may not get anything from this other than some isolated storms.

As of 9:15 PM, radar shows another nice area of light to moderate rain SW of Atlanta moving NE and seems to be holding together quite well.

Finally! Much needed rain is here.

It looks like the CAD boundary may retreat some and set up along HWY 74 instead of from Anderson to Rock Hill in SC. Stronger storms maybe a little farther north than they were today.

 

[Rain Cold]

1.25 in the bucket today. Almost forgot what rain and thunder sounded like.

The rain finally got here, but not too much thunder. The CAD took care of that. Storms got as close as Laurens and fizzled out.

Two day totals and still adding up…

That county and others around it got pounded yesterday for sure. That total is no surprise at all for Greenwood.

I don't know. They just kept on getting storm after storm over that entire county yesterday. I'd guarantee someone there got at least 5 inches if not much more.

 

[iGRXY]

Over 2” so far

Incoming again

Tulsa had the average May rainfall(over 5 inches) in a few hours last night

 

[weather bubba]

I received .19 inches of rain yesterday in Wake County southeast of Lake Wheeler in Raleigh. Add that to the rain I got during the previous twenty-four period before that and I have received .93 inches of precipitation during the last two days. Hopefully the totals will continue to climb during the next five days.

 

[weatherfide]

.42" this morning after. 18" yesterday. I feel lucky! I'm probably going to measure
All my ran in the hundrendths.

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

found out in the middle of the monsoon that my back gutters are clogged. Perfect

 

[rusrius]

Received 2.7 last night which accounts for a third of my 2026 rainfall.

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

Heaviest rain shower in the continental US sitting right on top of my clogged gutters

 

[BufordWX]

Wedge winning out today. Only 68 so far. Forecast had us at 75 by now.

Getting some peaks of sun here. T-storms later today rather than showers seem on track.

 

[Rain Cold]
