Radar showing some activity along the front moving through clt now. Hopefully the area will get lucky overnight since we missed out the last 2 days.
 
Yeah I was looking at the radarscope data and it has been running a bit high on its estimates but you still got smacked. Literally maybe a mile or so east of me? Just brutal but the night is young and lots of boundaries firing north of us still.

I am the last house before Westport. It was flat out dumping tropical rain
 
Nice soaking Rain has set up shop over a large swath of us for the remainder of the day. Giddy Up!

The bummer is bigtime heat is gonna roll back in Thurs through weekend. May catch the feared downslope west wind combo on this one per Raleigh depending on where the death ridge camps out
 
Nice work. I lost yet I won too. Still picked up my biggest single day total in 3 months but missed the jackpots that lollipopped all around me. Radarscope has been running a bit high for my area compared to my physical guage it has me at .95. And i was in a minimum.KLTX - Digital Storm Total Accum., 6_23 AM.png

I just looked at the rain gauge at my residence near Lake Wheeler in Raleigh and I have 1.05 inches of rain. I didn't get into the multi-inch totals that areas in far Southern Wake County, Harnett and Johnston County have received but I am grateful for the precipitation we got. It was badly needed.
 
Missed in every direction the last 3 days - .06 in total - which .05 evaporated on contact with the ground.

Frustrating for sure - but it will rain again one day, I am sure of that. My vegetable garden is just about hosed - its impossible to keep it looking good and healthy. I should have taken the advise on here back in March/April which was to not have a garden because of the extended drought conditions. That was the correct assessment and the right advice -

I'm in the same boat in terms of rainfall so far. Just 0.06" last two days. It is raining this morning, so we got that. In terms of a garden, mine is about as good as it's ever been but I have been watering quite a bit. Now, my garden is not very big and easily manageable. This upcoming el nino should really catch us up on rainfall but probably not until winter/spring 27.

I think we have an active negative feedback loop here in this area - which to me - can only be solved for with a tropical system. All of the t-storm forecasts (last 3 days) have not been necessarily wrong - but we missed everything - and the forecasting wont take that into account.

None of this is actually hitting the ground - just debris clouds that don't do anything except shield the sun.

The dry pattern that was advertised is the reason I didn't grow a vegetable garden for the first time in about ten years. I miss my homegrown tomatoes and other goodies but it would have been a waste of time and effort in the dry conditions we have been experiencing with no irrigation. If the overall pattern changes maybe I will grow a fall garden with some collards and turnip greens.

It can be done. Why they make water hoses.
That was yesterdy picking, more to come.
We put away 103 Quarts of green beans 2 weekends ago. You can make as much on a dry year as a wet one. Espeacilly with access to a spigot
