Just some sprinkles here from it. I did have a decent moderate shower earlier in the afternoon and ended up with 0.13". Better than nothing but nowhere near what we need. Hopefully friday will be better.
-
The line that looked good in eastern PA really weakened.
-
Not looking good for up here. Looks as if the broken part of the line is going to go over our area. Probably very little.
-
Yeah when you're in a terribly dry pattern like this you expect threats to not work out. Hopefully we'll have better luck on friday but I wouldn't get my hopes up too high on that one.
-
Same here but we still have more of this band of showers to come through. Hopefully we'll get at least a little rain.
-
It's a little disappointing but I don't get my hopes up too much when it's only going to be a slight chance with isolated cells. We're only in a marginal risk area so today was never expected to be a big deal. A few spots are getting lucky and getting more than the light rain amounts. At least we have another chance on friday.
-
Yeah I can hear a little thunder from that storm that's missing me just to the west. Some isolated cells in this band of showers so a few people will get lucky.
-
That's possible but it would be very isolated. For most of us it's just this band of showers that will be moving through shortly that will deliver a tenth to quarter inch of rain at most.
-
0.42" here. Overall this event was a little disappointing considering what the potential looked like several days ago, but at least it was just enough to give the decent watering that we desperately needed. I won't have to water the vegetable garden tomorrow and hopefully we'll get more rain on wednesday.
-
It didn't come down in buckets, but a decent heavy downpour has been going on here. Looks as if this first round is gonna drop about a third of an inch of rain. At least enough to give the garden a decent watering for the first time since May 20th. Looks as if another round will come through in a little while, so hopefully we can end up over a half inch.
-
Yeah it looks good. We should get a nice downpour.
-
Yeah scattered downpours popping in southern NJ, so hopefully a couple of them will hit us this evening.
-
Yeah it doesn't look great for our area, but we can hope to get lucky with a heavy downpour. If that happens it probably won't be until the early evening hours too.
-
Yeah RGEM has been consistent in getting more significant rain amounts further to the east. Hopefully it will be right.
-
Hoping to get at least a half inch today to give the gardens a good watering, but obviously there's reason to be concerned. Some models continue to show the more significant rain staying to the north and west. Convection is hard to predict though, so we'll see. At least we have another chance on wednesday. Hopefully this will be the week that we finally get some desperately needed rain.
-
RGEM just came in looking great, but HRRR says the significant rain will stay to the northwest. As Forky said this is a tough one to predict. I'm hoping tomorrow won't be a disappointment since we're in desperate need of rain.
-
The heavy downpour missed me just a couple miles to the south. Just a moderate shower here that wasn't enough to water anything. Hopefully we'll get a decent soaking on monday like most models show.
-
12z Euro pretty good for monday too. A half inch to inch for a lot of the area. Good to see the models looking better for monday ... hopefully it'll hold.
-
CMC looks good for monday with an inch of rain for a good part of the area. We can hope. GFS not as impressed but not too bad. I'm hoping we can pull off at least a decent half inch soaking for the gardens. We're in desperate need ... crazy that my tomato plants have gotten only 1 watering from rain since I planted them at the beginning on May.
-
Yeah it's much better out there today. Can't smell smoke anymore and a lot of sun is getting through. Still not good air quality, but it's getting down to a low enough level that's it's more of a concern for sensitive groups. I did do yardwork/gardening yesterday and the smoke didn't cause me to have any symptoms, but obviously it wasn't a good idea to do intense exercise outdoors so I cancelled my run. I will go for my run this afternoon though since it's much better out there.
-
I agree. It's crazy that my county still isn't in abnormally dry. On the edge of it on that map, but we should be well into the abnormally dry category. In May we had only 1 day with significant rain here (May 20th about .75), and the ground is absolutely parched now. Lawns that haven't been watered have burned out. If it doesn't change soon we're heading towards a terrible drought this summer. Hoping for a decent rainfall early next week, but it isn't looking that impressive. Last night's Euro did give us a decent half inch to three quarters of an inch rainfall. I'm hoping we can pull that off to give the gardens a decent watering, but some other models are not as bullish.
-
Yeah it's really something out there. I was just out there doing some gardening a yardwork in this smoke. Never seen anything like this. A very cool sight with the moon being a red-pink color.
-
Just some sprinkles here as the horrendously dry situation continues. I don't think I've ever seen so much brown grass this early in the season. Having to water the garden often to keep it in decent shape. The Euro is showing a decent amount of scattered activity on friday, so hoping to see a downpour then. Still probably just a slight chance though. Hopefully a more meaningful rainfall early next week.
-
We really need the rain, but not a lot of hope for this week. The activity this week looks very isolated (mainly tuesday, thursday and friday). Hoping to get hit by a downpour, but it's only a slight chance. As SACRUS said, maybe we'll finally get into better rain potential early next week. A week away though so obviously too early to be confident about it.

I was at the Mets game tonight. Got home a little while ago and the ground still is very dry, so we must've gotten almost nothing here. Frustrating. At Citi Field the game was delayed by 90 minutes but the storm just barely missed. A nice lightning show just slightly off in the distance but just very light rain. I did see a nice rainbow when the light rain was coming to an end.
