From nearly stationary thunderstorms the last couple of days ... with the atmosphere moist and uncapped thunderstorms the last couple of days have exploded from time to time at all times of the day and night ... while I've barely received a ½" of rain from this ... others have picked up copious amounts of rain ... in excess of 8" according to doppler radar estimates ... (one blip just 10 miles NE of me ... brings new meaning to the term scattered)...

Yes, I saw this on radar last night... extremely slow moving thunderstorms... saw a video of a street just collapsing because of the copious amounts of water flowing along it... hope these areas receive a break soon! :o

My area is expected to receive at least 2 to 3 inches of rain later today! :o I was watching the news last night, and there was another sink hole in the area. I guess that will be a common occurence with all the rain we have had!

Myrtle Beach did had rain Tuesday Night, It was only a sprinkle.

[Colin]

Well, there was a little sinkhole in my area... nothing big, very small actually, in the sidewalk...(can be dangerous) it is being repaired, I think. Just goes to show that these things can happen when the ground is really saturated!

[Stormsfury]

On Tuesday, I received a whopping 0.02" of an inch while surrounding areas 10 miles away in all directions received 1" to as much as 5" of rain ... talk about a rain bubble? ...

Broken today ... so far, .85" today, with more on the way ...
Note: Berkeley County (around the Moncks Corner area) has a bullseye of now over 10"+ according the Doppler Radar estimates ...

Wow... sounds like some impressive rainfall! And it doesn't look like it's going away anytime soon! :o Keep us updated and stay safe!

Deepest moisture exited this morning after another 1.05" fell this morning between midnight and 6:00 am ... however, the day was more typical of June ... hot, humid, and hazy with only scattered thunderstorms (and none around the Lowcountry as of 8 pm)...

Anyway, to bring things to perspective, some locales picked up almost a FOOT OF RAIN in just 4 days ... Normal June average (for my area) is about 6.5" inches ... (which fortunately, I didn't get but a few inches of rain from this latest wet spell) ...

Well you probably already know that a front is heading in your direction and will probably kick up the thunderstorm activity again later tonight and especially tommorow............Hopefully the front will and should make its way to the south of you along the gulfcoast and GA/FL boarder for the weekend giving you guys a chance to dry out.............Hopefully it will not decide to stall out in your area which would of course make things even worse.................

Yep, Harry ... scattered thunderstorms continue to develop, but the deeper-layer moisture which plagued us (and virtually put the atmosphere in free-for-all rise due to the RRQ providing divergence over the area) ...

Amazing to see partly cloudy skies today as a dry slot from the ULL entered into the region today ...

[Stormsfury]

Thunderstorms that have developed characteristically speaking are moving west to east tonight (and not NNE) and are stronger in regards to lightning strikes (CG) and overall intensity ... though, the last the few days produced tremendous rainfalls, otherwise, the storms didn't have much lightning, or wind to speak of ...

Also, failed to mention that the temperature as well remains in the lower 80's at this time of night as well ... with very high humidity and dewpoints (78º at almost 11 pm) ...

[Colin]

Wow... that's an impressive dewpoint... I don't get those kind of dewpoints often... probably like 3 or 4 times a summer...
