Seems my luck of just being outside the big rains will continue in August. Kinda glad this time. Lightning has been crazy

That looks a lot like the storm that came through here Tuesday evening. It had the worst lightning I have seen in several years, but thankfully most if it was about 1-2 miles away.
 
88.2/67.8 HI: 92

It could be worse here, still warm though.

Thunderstorms already popping up all around this area. This is much earlier than most days of recent weeks. Been hearing thunder the last 15 minutes or so. Will it rain? So far it has been hit and miss pop ups and so that remains to be seen. The NWS has only 20% chances.

Also, the dewpoints/HI are very high with upper 70s/108! Temps are in the low 90s. All conducive to the pop-ups.

It took awhile but it’s just started raining here with CTG lightning pretty closeby.

The GFS is dry after Debby goes through. If she takes the ICON track, drought will become the big story for most of us later on. There is not 1 drop of rain from St. Louis down to Montgomery AL and the surrounding area through 276 on the latest run and much of what is over GA and the Carolinas comes from the tropical system.
