Looks like this again this afternoon...all round, 2 days in a row, surrounded but no rain! Can see, smell the rain, hear the thunder but no rain here! The old native saying, "if it's cloudy all around, it's gonna rain in the middle" just isn't true!

We had 1.5" by my unofficial yard rain gauge this weekend. A nice soft gentle rain interrupted by squalls. I'll take it. Filled up the rain barrel by the coop. Good rain. Hope y'all get some soon.

Yuppers, know that feeling here as well for quite some time… here is our current tease… all the local WX forecasts call this long Red dashed line a “dry line.” Well all that wetness has literally been stationary in the radar loop too. Which one can argue as the anchor-like effect that’s typical of that dryline… it won’t let storms pass it.


So, our forecast of 24% chance of rain today is almost completely dependent on that “dryline” moving east or (fingers crossed) evaporating…

This morning…. Heading out to run errands and saw some strange cloud formation West & NorthWest of us….

Directly West… and then panning slightly NW…

 

[electrycmonk]

Then…. While running errands… got several
“Severe WX” warnings from local NOAA and opened the radar app….


Several areas finally got some. Our house got enough to get stuff *wet* but, not measurements from the WX station.

We drove home
Through areas that got some quick dumps
Of a lot of rain….

And looking at this evening with a glimmer of hope to see more moisture….

Todays surprise…..




So, todays tally? 0.46” recorded from
Severe T-storms with 60+MPH winds that surprised everybody!
