Pretty heavy shower from the north as the front pushed by. Probably added another .10th to the guage

Hrrr and 3k nam both backing off my rainfall for today. In fact the hrrr is dry for me now
That area to our south isn't as stout as modeled and we are going to do very poorly through the day. Feels like that gives us a better shot at storms this evening and maybe finally recovering this dead air mass that got deposited

It shouldn't be this hard to get rain.

I think it's safe to say that today is a fizzer. I was forecast 70% POP's right up until this morning, then there was mid/high level cloud cover all day today here closer to the coast.

If this pans out, I'll barely be over 10" for the year mid May. Unreal
Lucky, if that pans out ill be at just over 7 for the year
Getting absolutely clobbered right now with heavy rain. Much needed!

Got some sprinkles. Enough to wet the ground at least. 
.66 on the tempest last night. Probably still won't hit 1 inch for April but good to see it can still rain and rain hard

General trends on totals for this weekend have really gone the wrong direction.

Underperformed and only got .40 but I'll take it

Crept up to .60 somehow. Took 13 hours of rain to get it but we did okay. That makes it an inch for the week!!

Need a wind shift. Smokes a little less now but was rough there for a few minutes.

Not drought busters by any stretch but these .35 and .40 type events are sure helping the grass
Got to be some good fishing out there today

This was an interesting little cell just to my North but it faded really quick
Looks like some damage reported in Riegelwood/Delco area

Nothing crazy but it's been a LONG time since we have had a storm so it was neat. The airport which is a few miles from my work gusted to 49mph
