Rain totals...

Here is a list of some rain totals from the Alberto rain event. Some of these totals were received before the rain actually stopped, so the storm totals are even a bit higher.

Wadesboro: 5.10"
Hoffman (Richmond County): 4.75"
Oakboro: 4.50"
Concord: 3.70"
Monroe airport: 2.68"
Stanly airport" 2.01"
Charlotte airport: 1.75"
Gastonia airport: 1.72"
Shelby airport: 0.11"

Check out that Shelby rain total. Unfortunately, for our friends in Cleveland county, the western edge of the heavier rain amounts only made it to Gaston county.

We have high pressure nosing in here from the west now, and that will provide us with a couple of nice days tomorrow and Friday. Look for relatively comfortable humidity values as well as lots of sun and highs in the mid to upper 80s.

Heat will build by the weekend with highs back in the lower 90s and muggier conditions.

By the way, Alberto is not finished. It will provide gusty winds to coastal North Carolina and Virginia this afternoon and this evening as it heads out to sea. Winds could gust to 60 or 70mph.
