Finally, a beneficial rain yesterday. .83" So August is now up to 1.66" which beats July's total of 1.62"!

Another miss of rain today. I'm at 1.66" for July and .87" for August. That is from the Davis Vantage Pro 2. During one brief heavy downpour it did rain extremely hard so it might have missed a slight bit. Still it is extremely dry! Watch what happens this weekend. I just looked at the 18Z GFS. Things fall apart yet again for me? Arrgghhh...

Quite a few years ago (maybe 8ish?) Brian found a place that was selling American Chestnut seedling. About a foot tall at best. I don't remember (Brian do you?) who we got them from but they said they were breed to be blight resistant. I got 4. I planted them and 3 are doing very good. For the first time this season one is producing nuts. I counted about 20. American Chestnuts need pollen from another tree and as you can see in these pictures I do have 2 of them a couple of hundred feet apart. We will see what happens. The drought up here is taking a toll on young trees. I have been trying to water these as the leafs are starting to wilt. We have had less than 2.5" of rain since August 1rst. Missing out again today. Arrgghhh...

Yep, I am at 2.20" since June 30th. I live about 10 miles south of Rattlesnake. The surface is very dry. I thought we would finally get some real rain tonight but it looks like that won't happen. Arrggghhhh

Congrats Brian. Nice lightshow to my south early this morning. Between a shower yesterday and a light shower as the storm passed to my south a big .17"!

The line of heavy showers quickly moved through. It is still raining lightly. About .30" About the same amount earlier. It helps but we need much more. I uploaded this picture but it seems slightly under exposed. The line looked menicing but I don't think the underbelly of line was quite this dark.

Line of showers/storms about to move across Newfound Lake. My webcam site should be fun to watch. https://www.bridgewaternhweather.com/

64/56 Very light rain. Late yesterday and last night we had some nice downpours. Got .80". It's been dry today, a bit of sun earlier. Sprinkles resumed an hour ago, enough to wet the ground. 0.01"

2 rounds of showers/thundershowers now through. One earlier and one more recent. Total .86" so far. Looks like the heaviest rainfall for storm totals will be SW of me. I will be happy if we end up 1-2".

I followed the major tornado that hit the area along Lake Winnebago in Wisconsin. It moved north to south. I just watched a really interesting video that was taken along the lake. It looks like as the winds shifted from the east the lake rose several fee. Watch the lake water level. Was it just the wind? Was it the rapid pressure rise? I have never seen something like this. Attached is the general area and direction. Thoughts?

I'm really looking forward to this rain. Sorry vacationers. Less than .75" this month in my area. Bring it on!

Watching the overshooting tops from about 130 miles away...

77/61F Improving vis. Dewpoint crashing. Front is through. Surface drought conditions continue.

73/66F Well there goes that. After another shower last night the grand total from this system looks to end at .36". The showers and storms forming are south and east of my location. Unless something happens to the west it looks like this is it. Thoughts Brian? Hope to make 1" for August!

We got our largest soak of the month earlier today. .23" That puts me just over .50" for August. I don't see much meaningful stuff on radar as everything quickly weakens as it goes in my direction.
