Mo' Rain today.....

Quite a good thunderstorm hit around here yesterday afternoon.  I ran some errands around 5p (after I looked for my wallet for a good 30 minutes!)...while it was raining, apparently it stormed especially hard on the ridge across Mauney Cove Road from ACA.  The flash flooding all down Mauney Cove Road was impressive.

My gauge totaled just 1.26" of rain for the past couple of days (about an inch Sunday, and 1/4" from the storm).  Compared to what a lot of locations got, we were on the lower end of amounts.

The National Weather Service out of GSP just sent out an email giving a 'heads up' for more flooding storms later today.  The ground is obviously saturated and the runoff will be immediate.  Just a heads up for you travelers.  May be more severe cells than there were yesterday, too.
