When it rains...it pours.

6 inches of rain today alone.  We've dodged 3 tornadoes and a possible fourth building.  More rain in the forecast...of course.  Anyone in MO or AR probably feels my pain.  This weird bellybutton weather system working from the SE heading NW.  Oh well.  We'll see how it goes through the night.

Raining here in NC too, heard it was raining in PA as well.  Seems rain is everywhere today.

Also, how does a state "dodge" a tornado?

[Banshee7]

By "we dodged tornadoes" I meant myself and three buddies who were out riding around when the first one came through

Take one from LOST, just take the state and move it somewhere else

Dude, 6" is a lot of rain!

The bad news, Shuffler, is that you get it in 6 minutes, I've been through those Texas thunder storms.  My father was stationed in Ft. Hood twice and I graduated HS in Killeen.  Even saw it snow once while we lived there.

A while back we had 42" in 3 days. Now that is a frog choker (aka turd floater).

It's a weather pattern for the summer related to the jet stream.
Normal:


Current:


If you look at the normal pattern the jet normally dips own thru TX and flows up toward IL then dips again and flows up to the North East

The jet stream steers the weather (wx). If you look the current the summer jet is way North allowing the low (L) too push into the Mid South, bringing Gulf moisture. An old rule of thumb. Winter Jet is normally to the north and the Summer Jet normally dips way south. The current jet you might see in January....

Global cooling?

It's become very frequent for us to see 4" or more in one day this year.  Last year, though, I don't ever recall getting a rain of more than 3".

Very wet holiday weekend here in south Alabama too.  3 days off and nothing to do but stay inside and watch it come down in buckets.
