With the 1.17" we got today. I am now right at 8.00" for the month. I am surprised Wilmington is so low. Is that at the airport? I just checked some Ambient weather stations in and around Wilmington and many are well over 6" for the month.
Yesterday we had .26" just before sunrise and another .10" in the evening. Pouring rain right now.
Ended up with 1.84" today. I am now at 6.83" for the month.
High of 81 today.dew point hovered around 70 most of the day and combined with a decent ne breeze, it actually felt good out there for a change. Looks like we will be dropping into the 60's tonight as it is currently 70 at 10:30 pm.
What a 1st day of August. My bucket tipper was stuck and had to go out in the downpour to release what ever made it stuck. Right now we are at 2.60" for the day with steady rain still falling. I could probably add another .15 - .20" to the total that fell before I freed the tipper. Amazing afternoon.
