The first 10" of rain this month were pretty cool but the following 6" just seem a bit excessive.

Dumping, over 2" on the day

1.56" Last night over 15" for the month

I think NAM 3k had it modeled

0.98" on the day, 13.15" for the month.

Over the past 30 days average dew point has been 73.7 and humidity 86.3%.

Was not expecting this mornings deluge, 0.68" in about 10 mins.

0.90"

Hey it's raining again, imagine that.

1.01", over 11" for the month.

Looks like 1.86" for the day over 10" for the month. Water table at my feet. Glad I overseeded my lawn with cattails.

Yeah, I just saw it was named. Interesting setup looking at the regional radar and satellite loop. Up to 1.66" now.

I was not expecting this much rain today. It just keeps reforming.

1.17" so far. Small storms keep tracking over Easton.

Showery, 0.28".

Storm just north of Easton is torrential, just drove through it could barely see the car ahead. Completely dry on the south end of the town.

0.52", 7.72" for the month

0.4" last night before midnight, 6.4" since midnight, and just now another 0.4" downpour to hopefully bring this to a close. 7.2" total

You all safe down there in the Bury?

Cloud structure looked nice from Easton.

First round of rain looked good on radar but was underwhelming, 0.14".

Going to try Revelation Craft Brewing, Mother in Law IPA, never had their beer before, they are local to Georgetown, DE

Grass going dormant (brown) during the summer is the adaption to the climate in that region. In many instances the grass we grow in our yards is non-native so it is not adapted to our local climate and needs more watering and nutrients to survive. This is compounded by newer, mid 90s on, developments completely stripping top soil and compacting subsoil. The top soil is replaced but basically you have 6 inches of soil and greatly reduced water holding capacity. It is striking to see water running out of lawns after a rainfall even during dry periods because the there is no water storage capacity. There is research being completed by UMBC researchers on how to create better soil health in residential and urban areas to reduce runoff and increase the health of lawns and recreational green spaces. Sorry this is banter delete if needed.
