Pattern August Rush

Seems the sun is out in full force earlier today, some decent CAPE already, PWAT approaching 2"..... see no reason there will not be at least some scattered prolific rain makers again within the next few hours.
 
Nice summer day on tap here. Maybe some scattered storms this afternoon and evening. Probably hit and miss again. I can't recall the last time we had a real line of storms come through here. These storms are all the pop up variety.

The big what? Day 2
 
Picked up another .7 today....
.37 here. Just looking over the 12z models today nothing really suggests a prolonged period of dry weather. Rain chances and coverage should get cut back Saturday through Tuesday and I could see some completely dry days but things pick up again by mid to late week as the front approaches from the NW. I do think though we will certainly see temps start to rebound with more 88-92 days. I will be the happiest person around if we can make it to late August and not have any more significant hot dry weather.

Please allow me ... I will be the happiest person around if we can make it to late October and not have any US land-falling 'Canes. ;)
 
The big ~1.5" so far. Supposed to be up to 2 inches today and only half an inch so far today with heavier parts coming in just now.
I’ve gotten .43 total since yesterday!:(
