| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | An unusual long-duration event occurred June 7-11 as a very slow-moving upper trough and surface high across New England combined to produce several days of cool-air damming and persistent rainfall along the frontal boundary and in orographically favored areas of the Blue Ridge with the heaviest rainfall focused over eastern Watauga and Ashe and western Wilkes counties where rain gauges showed 2 to 3 inches in the 24-hour period ending at 0800 EDT on June 8th. The rain continued much of the 8th even heavier amounts with an additional 4 to 8 inches across parts of the area and another 2 to 3 inches ending 0700 on the 10th. Numerous official sites set daily rainfall records on both June 8 and June 9. Four-day totals by the morning of the 10th ranged from 5 to 15 inches, with isolated amounts at unofficial sites approaching 20 inches. The tremendous inflow from various tributaries in the upper Yadkin basin pushed the pool elevation at W. Kerr Scott Reservoir (WLKN7) to its highest level since the dam was completed in 1962, reaching 1062.61 feet on June 10th, eclipsing the previous record of 1061.20 feet in November, 1977. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | The CoCoRaHS station at Boone 4.6 E (NC-WT-37) measured 9.05 inches for the 24 hours ending 700 AM EDT. The 3-day total ending at 700 AM on the 10th was 15.24 inches. This 3-day total is within the 90 percent confidence interval for a 500-year (.002 annual chance occurrence) rainfall event at this location per NOAA Atlas 14. |
