Needless to say the Christmas holiday was a very soggy one across western North Carolina. Some light rainfall began in the favored upslope areas late Christmas Eve and by Christmas morning the region was dealing with steady rainfall.
Some very impressive totals have accumulated over the past 60 hours. Below is a map courtesy of CoCoRaHS of spotter totals in our coverage area.
This is the third significant rain event this month across the region, our drought is quickly being eroded away. More precipitation chances are expected over the next 7-10 days.

Dear Team Foothills Action Network,
WE on the lakes (and farms, and ridges, and ranges) CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH for this most recent, “Area Summary of Rainfall Amounts Past 48 Hours” !!!!
I am a ten year subscriber now and, as far as I can remember this may be the first (or at best one of relatively few, prior?) “Area Summary of Rainfall Amounts Past 48 Hours”
The, “Area Summary of Rainfall Amounts Past 48 Hours” is indispensable to us across a broad range of concerns and activities, to include: turf management, marine craft mooring and clientele’s problematic (leaking / storm water intrusion) home foundations …
I subscribe to a host of other climate data references (UNC SCO / CRONOS, etc.) and your most recent, “Area Summary of Rainfall Amounts Past 48 Hours” strikes me as the easiest to quickly assess and thus THE MOST USER FRIENDLY of all the “past rainfall amounts” I have access to, at present.
thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU! (and of course, Happy New Year!)
I’m the one with 4.53 in Caldwell. It wasn’t heavy for the most part, only briefly. I have reported the rain all year so I’m thinking we will be at about average for the year.
