.35 today and it's pouring now.

5.1

^^ Ya beat me by a half inch. 2.1 here and it's still drizzling.

2" since yesterday and still raining. 5+ for the week.

There's a property somewhere in Arizona just waiting for you...

.75 since yesterday afternoon but 3.8" since 5/2. I could definitely see a quick inch causing some flash flooding issues, the water doesn't really have anywhere to go now so it's just going to run off.

Total since the beginning of the wet period is 4" now, .74 since yesterday afternoon. It was dry on Wednesday but nothing really dried out so it's just soggy now.

Yeah the difference over the last 2 weeks is pretty amazing. These last few days finally got it wet below 10" down, I still had crumbly soil a foot down when I put in some bushes last week.

Radar kinda looks like another long slug is gonna move S to N through the city/western LI and up east of the River.

2.33 so far

Ooh ooh, the .2 so far is about useless to help the deep soil moisture problem.

Well that was fun. I got caught in the torrential downpour in Danbury and drove through it most of the way home as it pivoted and slid into a SW>NE line that set up just south and east of me. I got to watch it slide by, rumbling and grumbling while backlit by bright sun. Unfortunately I only got .12, not much help for the low soil moisture situation.

Heavy rain and big thunder overnight. .4 in just a few minutes. The town hwy dept garage 1.5 miles away recorded .78!

FWIW, the ticks are terrible this year, absolutely terrible. We have an expert here that might be able to give us more details, maybe @JustinRP37 has some good data for us.

Seeing it laid out like that is interesting. I move around a lot and some areas seem to handle low soil moisture better than others. N and W are so much more heavily forested that it makes more of a difference.
