Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeMichael was preceded by a so-called Predecessor Event (PRE) which brought moderate to heavy rainfall across several counties through early on the 11th of October. A deep moisture plume surged north on the periphery of the subtropical ridge with very precipitable water producing high rain rates. The heaviest rainfall from the PRE was concentrated in the Watauga and upper of the New River basin where the rainfall ranged from 2 to 6 inches with isolated higher amounts in the 24 hours ending at 700 AM local time on the 11th of October.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeThe COOP site at North Wilkesboro (WKSN7) measured 5.17 inches in 24-hours ending at 700 AM local time on the 11th. This was the 2nd highest 24-hour rainfall during the month of October and 6th highest for any day, with records dating back to 1921. This value also falls into the 90 percent confidence interval (4.88-5.82 inches) for a 10-year recurrence interval event (.10 annual exceedance probability) per NOAA Atlas 2.
