For the subsequent hour, it rained heavily on and off. I ended up with an impressive ~2.6" in just 1.5 hours (1:30-3PM). Whereas two days ago gave us the storm of the summer so far in terms of the combo of CTG lightning, winds, and rains combined, today has given us the heaviest rains of the summer to date due to training of storms. There has been no CTG lightning of note and winds have been light. Just mainly beneficial rains. Still light rain falling.

In just the last 3 days, I've received ~4.5" with rain still falling lightly and more likely to come over the next couple of days. This should take care of watering needs for perhaps the rest of the hot season.

Edit: This heavy rain was the result of an outer band of a weak sfc low to our SW over/near N FL bringing up plentiful tropical moisture.

This week has been The Big Wet Part 2 of this summer here.
