another couple rounds of thunderstorms ... a couple this morning, and a couple this afternoon across my region ... and yet, another 1.54" of rain fell from the storms ...

So far, with this very wet last 7 days, rainfall for July has ballooned to a robust 9.35" this month (and over 50% of the monthly tally coming in the last 6 days) and a yearly total of 41.90" ...

This is a doppler-radar estimated rainfall running 6 day tally from the CHS WFO (which includes the 6"+ that hit portions of Savannah, GA on the 24th) ... note the hardest hit areas stretch from a band in Southern GA extending through Savannah, and another large pocket of heavy rainfalls in GA. In South Carolina, the Coastal Counties were the hardest hit stretching from 25-50 miles inland to the coast ... Dorchester, and particularly Berkeley and NE Charleston Counties were inundated with estimated 10"+ of rain (purple spots)

Wow, those are some impressive totals SF!! I remember seeing the radar image the other day and it looked really bad in Savannah. Hopefully there will not be any other surprise storms, but anything is possible this year! :wink:

The remains of T.D. #7 (a trough) have likely exited the coast, but now in its wake, a cold front to the NW and still PWAT's in excess in 2" with instability doesn't really want to bring an end to the rains just yet ...
