Itstrainingtime

Sun is making a return here:

• Monday, 5/3: .08"
• Tuesday, 5/4: .01" (fell right after midnight)
• Wednesday, 5/5: .35"

3 day total: .44"

Someone's always going to win, someone's always going to lose. I imagine most in this thread had more rain than I did. Probably for most, significantly so. 

I was hoping for at least 1" from the 3 days - barring a miracle, I won't get close to that. 

Onward! 

Certainly appears that my cloudy skies should yield to some significant rain shortly though. Time to play catch up.   

Just cloudy here. Picked up  .18" of rain earlier. 3 day total is up to a whopping .27"

Not here, just now got some sun out. 

The Historic District is cooking. Son just walked in from work and said it's oppressive out. I walked out...I concur.

Then again - 75 is pushing my limits.

Yea I looked at radar and thought it did not look all the great to our immediate west. 

I don't see much of anything downstream that will make me wet later. Hopefully that changes after yesterday's colossal fail.

No fuel to light the fire today at least for now. Cloud cover doesn't help. 

Been wall to wall sun here for hours - I'm at 86 right now. 

...though storms over the south central mountains have all but fallen apart, LOL.

2 active tornado warnings in PA now (I imagine for the same line at the border of PBZ/CTP areas, one issued by PBZ and the other by CTP).

Yes, radar is lighting up with storms now. We'll see what happens as they progress east northeast...

My immediate neighbor 1/2 an acre to the south is under a Severe Thunderstorm Watch. 

Stuff down in WV is already looking impressive - me thinks there's going to be some warnings coming soon in MD, and potentially PA a bit later.

Muggy here too. Doesn't look like today will be too Thunderstorm'ish like though. Just another rain storm tonight and tomorrow. 

We shall see - looks like SPC upgraded us a bit. I think storms are almost a certainty in some areas. CTP mentioning possible TOR over SE portion of their area. (you and me)

sun is trying to break out. What are our chances for storms to fire later?

Full sun here - have to think as humid as it is that something might get going

A big .26" here, you may win the snow battle but I'll take the rain title haha

I spent a good part of the day yesterday in Columbia doing training - it rained off an on from 8-11am, but then there was a more steady, light rain from about 11 until I left at 2pm. By the time i got home it was bone dry and my wife was like "what rain?" - at that point the bucket had .01" and it rained just a little bit around supper and then mid-evening.

Very impressive rain last evening. And it appears we have several more chances upcoming the next couple days as well. 

I finished with a whopping .09" for the entire event yesterday/early this morning.

I do not keep records but I think we have received more today than all of last May and June combined.

Wow!

It came down good back around 7:00.  Recorded 0.91" for the event (so far).  No lightning from this storm and also no wind.  Had calm winds the entire time it was raining.

That's impressive.

.05" for the day here so far...

Yea, light but enough to make the pavement wet.  A cool 56 out so windows open.  Feeling better?

I feel fantastic. A gray, gloomy Monday morning is doubly invigorating!

One thing is for sure, the GFS will not no speaking of a drought.  Soaking rains, or near misses on them, every few days, 

You getting any rain this morning? Looks like some light activity over your way.

A/C definitely on in Rou'ville today.  83 here but house got up to 76 and that was enough. 

Got up to 87.4 here. House is a nice steady 65.

79  here right now.  Low humidity and wind making it feel quite good.  We have sustained 20 to 30 with gusts near 35.

Winds more in the 15-25 range here - temp is 84.7 at the moment...

82 here at 12:45pm. Feels summery out. 

It was 41 at 4:30am when I headed in to the office for some Saturday morning training time. 52 and sunny now. Great day to get outside!

@Blizzard of 93 - so glad to hear that no one was injured and no damages. I hate wind too!

@Bubbler86 - get those shorts on today. 

Power back - highest gust here so far was 55 mph. 

Power is out here.

Wow.  Now I think I'm getting a wee-bit nervous over these winds.  I have a bunch of 70-90 foot trees with relatively small trunks lining my back yard.  With the most recent set of winds sustained at 35 and gusting to 45 twigs and some small branches have already come down as well as a fair number of leaves.  If any one of those trees came down towards the back of my home it would be very damaging.  Plus my wife works from home on the second floor right next to some rear windows and I sit in the family room directly underneath her, also right at the rear edge of the home.  It's pretty scary just watching the huge sway with each gust.  And to think it may get worse over the next few hours and become even more sustained.  I've had a ton of 40mph gusts now.  They were occurring almost every few minutes.  Yup, there goes another gust to 45.  Haven't hit 50 yet.  I had a few in the low 50's with some events earlier this year but nothing that was sustained like this.  One other thing...the temperature has been dropping from an hour ago.  Now back down to 59 whereas it was 64 an hour ago.

I'm nervous too. I've had 3 gusts over 50 - my temp has slowly fallen from a high of 67 down to 63 now. 

I'm ready for this to be over, but we have many hours left. 

Just had my first gust to 50. Interestingly, the last 30-45 minutes were much calmer than it had been since mid-morning. She's cranking now. 

Just had my highest gust yet - 46 mph. It's getting windier by the minute it seems.
