It got down to 64 last night with .25 rain, up to 70/66 now. Looks promising for more rain, we need it.
My friends house in Littleton, CO 
Rainfall departures for the past 30 days:
And precip over the next few days give or take. With plenty to come after this as well. Nice
Nice little severe MCS moving northward up the AL/GA border. Hopefully it can hold together longer, but I have my doubts. Later this evening looks a little hopeful for some rain though.
I have my doubts as well. The humidity is already down into the 45% range. It’s going to take a parade of moisture to penetrate the dry we have right now.

ATL is literally sucked in by a black hole,,,lol
UPDATE...
Just a quick update to tweak POPS across much of the area as
models are starting to show higher confidence in convection
impacting portions of northwest GA and central GA with lower
chances across the Atlanta metro and Athens areas. Also tweaked
cloud cover as I expect mostly clear skies will start to see some
cumulus build through the afternoon given the increased moisture
across the area. Updated forecasts will be issued shortly.

Relative humidity levels are hovering around 40% across the area. Why they keep forecasting rain chances above 50-70% is kind of beyond my comprehension.
Much better coverage than pop up storms coming up. Looks solidly like 50-70% coverage
I’ve got legit 1” cracks all over my field now with crunchy grass. I’m at 65% humidity today though and have had some heavy sprinkles a couple times. We need about 3” this week to get back to normal.

Good little thunderstorm, nice since I got blanked yesterday. Cut my dry dead grass this morning so maybe the next few days will get my lawn back mostly green.
OFBs on the way, let's see if it can fire some storms or kills off chances altogether
I think this OFB will be only good for focusing storms for tomorrow and onward
I just had a brief sprinkle, the humidity has only come up to 58% after 9PM. I wonder how much time we have before the Allatoona and Lanier really start to drop levels. The prior wet periods have the river flow probably fairly close to normal, at least for now. To go 40 to 50+ days without any significant rainfall into June could really start some serious evaporation out of both lakes.
