The radar looked very promising yesterday, with batches of rain heading toward us. Alas, that rain all diminished before it got here and so we didn't get a drop yesterday. Without that rain, our cumulative rain totals for the next couple days just went way down. I showed the 5 day QPF model outlook from the HPC yesteday on my video forecast and it had up to 3 inches of rain in here by next week. That number is now down to half an inch.
I'm also worried that it could happen again today. I know all the forecasts and models have rain on it, but it's all going to come down to specific placement of these rain storms. Prospects for Tuesday also look a bit bleaker too, as the GFS has nearly erased our rain chance. We really need this rain because we are so far behind. This is quite the meteorological disaster, isn't it?
On that note, Tropical Storm Gabrielle (the sub- prefix was dropped) is just hours away from landfall on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Winds are now at 50mph and the storm isn't expected to strengthen anymore before it hits. Luckily its not too bad of a storm...
