Rainbow from the end of Staymon 2/4/20 |
I went out a little while ago and emptied 5.25" of rain out of the rain gauge. We're having way too much of a good thing with flooding an issue in many locations. Haywood County schools is letting out today at 12:30 due to rising waters, and tornado warnings have been popping left and right along the I-85 corridor in South Carolina.
There will also be embedded thunderstorms and wind gusts, which could easily bring down trees in our super-saturated soils. Add to all of this switch over to snow tomorrow morning around daybreak and we'll have a mess on our hands. All of my models are pumping 1 to 2" for ACA, though most of that will be in the upper half of our mountain.
The ground temperatures will be warm enough to more than likely preclude any problems on the roads, but snow looks like it will be falling tomorrow morning. In order to get that cold air in here, the winds are going to have to blow strongly. I would be prepared for a potential power outage as a distinct possibility.
I'll update later today as needed.
Bob
Thanks for the updates Bob
