My Drought has been busted in Marysville during this last hour of heavy rain with thunder & lightning! 1.17 of rain since around 8 pm tonight!

Good news is that there is plenty of precip behind this initial batch of rain.

My dew point is 71 currently…tropical conditions in Marysville.

The humidity today is not so nice.

It could be the best event for me since June 16th when I had near 2 inches of rain.

Radar looks juiced back in OH, IN & IL. Hopefully these beneficial rains keep moving in our direction tonight & tomorrow.

MDT is 1.06 below normal since June 1st. The good news is that MDT is still Above normal for the Year to date with a 1.10 surplus since January 1st.

MDT is 1.39 below normal for the month to date.

MDT picked up .51 of rain yesterday.

My yard needs these drought busting rains today & tomorrow! Tonight Showers and thunderstorms likely before 3am, then a chance of showers. Cloudy, with a low around 71. South wind around 5 mph becoming calm in the evening. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible. Monday A chance of showers and thunderstorms, then showers and possibly a thunderstorm after 1pm. High near 84. Southwest wind 5 to 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible. Monday Night Showers and possibly a thunderstorm before 7pm, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms between 7pm and 2am.

Yes, it really looked like we were going to get into the good rain, but areas just slightly further away from the Harrisburg area really cashed in today.

Nice! How were the ratios, lol!

You did better than I did in Marysville… I’m on the board with .05 of rain today! At least the garden got a small drink.

It looks like a decent chance of showers later today & tomorrow pm. I need to get on the board. My yard is drying up. No mowing needed for me this weekend.

We are due for a great snow season! We had some “”good” snow years between 2014 & 2019, along with 20-21 being a bit above average for the Harrisburg area. Our last “great” year with well above normal snow was 2010. Again, we are due!

CTP gives me a 20% chance today. It would be fitting if today is the day that I cash in with such a low chance! Today A slight chance of showers after 2pm. Mostly sunny, with a high near 82. Calm wind becoming northwest around 6 mph in the morning. Chance of precipitation is 20%.

0.00 for Marysville yet again yesterday. The good stuff was just to my south this time.

Lol…I’m already looking forward to Winter weather opportunities & disappointments.

Congrats on the few hundredths, lol, I’m jealous.

It’s got to be great for snow accumulating retention & snow pack retention in Winter.

Time to get the hose out again…this is brutal.

My dew point is a disastrous 73 currently!

I recorded 0.00 of rain in Marysville!
