Cold and cloudy... miserable type of day.. Radar showed precip all morning but nothing reached the ground.. Jan - 6.58 Feb - 1.65 Mar - 1.85 Apr - 2.21

Lol - However with deep concentration and focus and with much help from Ms Mother Nature , she finally got me over the elusive 2 inch mark for the first time in months... However that may have been the max , I highly doubt 3 inches is attainable....

Yeah this one was a real nice event for the I81 Valley area..... Finished with 1.40 , almost double any event since January... Actually up to 2.10 for the month now... First 2 inch month since yep January...!

A favorite type of afternoon , this heavy drizzle fine tropical type of rain that radar dosent see as well is putting down some much needed rain..2/3 inch... With luck may get a 1 inch event for the first time since the last big January event...

Visitor for the last hour just sitting there, in the breezy conditions and the sunshine showers combo - really bright and showery at the same time... Real tropical look outside.... Up to 0.25 which is nice for us down here...

Nothing really showing on radar so far , but a nice heavy drizzle up to about a tenth the last couple of hours... winds starting to pickup now...

Us on the other hand - 300 yards away from my gauge , exact match....

Awesome ! Yeah you guys most certainly need a dry period up there....

Aready hit that criteria multiple times !!! Lol The difference in precip totals the last year and half have been astounding in a state this size.... If it was Houston to Amarillo yeah fine totally different climate , But a hour or 90 min ride in any dang direction shouldn't be that big of a discrepancy even though the central and northern valley does indeed avg a few inches less in yearly precip....

0.04 Monthly total 0.05

Solid shower from a tstorm tonight in 90% of Waynesboro driving home from work , probably a quarter to a third except for the nw corner of town again.... Yep 0.01 less than a mile from a solid downpour... The reds on radar just simply disappeared...Which is a pattern for some reason for this small area from convective activity...

1.85 for March - even less than Stormy .... 2 consecutive months under 2 inches.... 0.00 since midnight.... With the exception of Nov Dec Jan almost every month going back to the end of 22 has been below average on precip...

Another impressively windy afternoon here with winds gusting easily into the 40s..... The drying out continues..

0.14 Monthly total 1.84 Exactly 3.50 since the end of January.... Should start seeing abornomaly dry showing up on the drought monitor soon along the 81 corridor... Hate the word fire but now there is a elevated wildfire risk out here again this evening - NWS statement...

This pattern really is beginning to look very familiar and foreboding for the Valley again ... Not going to get close to 2 inches for the month it appears down here...
