2.05" and still raining Another solid event, 19.28" since July 1st

Glad we missed out on those totals around here.

Looks like the focus for the heaviest rains is bumping northwest a little, favoring the northwest half of Iowa over the next week. Still may get 1"+ down this way but southern edge is trending this way.

Some breaks in the clouds. Rain over. As of 8:00 a.m. had received 1.01". Looks like maybe .30" in the gauge since then, will measure later. Glad the heavy totals stayed east. Doing fine on rain here. Don't need anything excessive.

1.61" - should clear 2" easily, and 3" may be possible

The Drake!

About the exact same here 1.17 glad to have missed the flooding.

3/4” so far. Nice gentle rain, no crazy downpours yet

Skies clearing out up to 75 / 70 here

Deluge continues here. Video doesn’t necessarily do it justice.

That's the interesting thing with the climate warming it might actually mean *less* Atlantic hurricanes forming overall in the future but the ones that do form tend to be a bit stronger than typical. There's still a lot of debate and research into the true overall effects but I do find that interesting to say the least. And yeah I could see some monster storm finding the perfect pocket to form and rapidly intensify in later in the season. But this El Nino is an anomaly all on its own too which is making it even harder to understand what other effects it's having on the atlantic hurricane season overall. We still have months more of warming in the Pacific despite us already surpassing the peak we had in 1997. Just given everything we're seeing I really would not be surprised if this is just how the rest of the season ends up looking with maybe one or two more stragglers forming at the end of September into October. I wouldn't even be surprised if we don't see a single hurricane now and I'm usually very optimistic most seasons.

Probably a dumb question. These are often posted at a time frame thats at the end of a run. How accurate is it vs what we see at the surface at the end of a run weather wise which we all know is like 2%?

Wild video coming from Fairfield Westport 8-9” of rain in 3 hours

@Brian5671 has been taking it on the chin this summer. 1.20" here, rain just ended

Exactly, that's why I was enthusiastic late Saturday afternoon.

My parents house in westport has basement flooding. The downtown area along the Saugatuck river got flooding worse than Sandy.

2.91" since 9:30. Heaviest was around 11:00 2.48" an hour rate!

1.45” and coming down hard. 2” is possible.

How? It was going south to north over the coastal plain.

Lol

1.33" total (0.21" since midnight) for a healthy sum of 3.92" so far for the month.
