Let the fear mongering and hype begin....
I’ve had the water on the garden two days straight and still hope it rains.
well both the 5 day especially and that 10 day missed it for my area,,,,,we've already logged 5 1/2" of rain in the last 24 hrs,,,,,and more to come
Well that's from that point forward.....so that map is from basically midnight last night, anything before then would not be counted in those totals....in these setups though if the models are wrong its usually on the low side..
the 5 day was from Monday,,,, My rain total was from Monday night on
like I said, they missed it by 50%+,,,,
but it's typical of weather prognosticators,,,,not your fault the model was bad/inaccurate
weather forecasts are a "guide" to me,,,,I never hold them as accurate predictions as they are wrong on details so often,,,but almost always are right on generalities
the best one (for me) is the dang weather app on my phone - if it says rain is ending at XX time it's been almost always right
and of course the hurricane/himmicane predictions get accurate when they get close,,,
Yeah most of the short range mesoscale models are highlighting an area over the southern or eastern Piedmont now for excessive totals. Each model has the bullseye in a different spot by a few miles but they all have some 5-8 inch totals. If I had to draw a line using a combo of all them I would say southern pines, Fuquay Varina over to Wilson seems to be a highlight area for heavier totals.
I can confirm that Fuquay has gotten and is still getting a ton of rain. Not sure of totals, but it’s been raining for three damn days.
Dont think we have had much over 1/2 inch so far
It was dry as a popcorn fart down your way last weekend.had another 1/4" by 3PM today,,,been raining since as well, but not too hard,,
