Up to 1.62" for the day now after a couple more heavy downpours.
-
Thanks for posting this radar -- it just covers my area as well. Didn't realize it would. The COD NEXRAD radar (the local one here is down right now of course) is SO much better than the standard low bandwidth radar.
-
Another heavy downpour going on here now.
-
All of the early action doomed our chances for late day and evening, but we got plenty of rain so I'm ok with it.
-
1.20" so far here today. With the heavy downpours shifting south, we'll have to see if we get something more here way later.
-
Now the worst of this next round missing me slightly to the south. Central Middlesex County will get a lot of rain. Would've been a pretty good flooding threat here if this next batch was slightly more to the north.
-
I've always noticed that warm front storms have the most lightning.
-
Coming down in buckets. This is wonderful.
-
These storms don't have much wind but WOW, so many very close lightning strikes. Haven't had lightning like this in a long time.
-
Pouring again. Obviously we're gonna get a lot of rain today.
-
These storms have been nice -- not the very strong wind that would cause damage, but lots of lightning.
-
Yeah another downpour here now with some lightning.
-
And the funny thing is, remember how I mentioned that yesterday's 12z HRRR nailed our area today around 10 in the morning. That HRRR run yesterday ended up being correct, but future runs lost it. It's such an inconsistent model, but it's certainly useful at times.
-
You have to wonder if this early convection is messing up our chances for later, but I don't care -- that was a very nice storm. I got a quick 0.46" from it. Glad the vegetable garden got a good watering.
-
Yeah I just had an extremely close lightning strike that sounded like a shotgun blast too. Love it!
