Late December Coastal Storm


I wanted to blog a little about the coastal storm we had earlier this month on December 20 - 21. The storm was caused by a low pressure which developed over the area and brought us some rain. Here on Skidaway Island, we saw just over 1.75" of rain. The National Weather Service didn't add our total to the map; but we did send them our report for the island.

The graphic below shows the astronomical rain total the international airport received over seven inches of rain while here on the island, we saw under two inches. Notice the very high wind justs which were measured by various observations.



I also want to add the forecast for Christmas Day: we will see some showers and a few thunderstorms as the Christmas day progresses. I don't think it will be a complete washout. We might see a little under one inch in some areas; otherwise, we should see under one half inch.
