Nobody said it would alleviate the drought. Last week when everyone said no rain, I told them that we have a huge trough to our west. Models will struggle with s/w placement, but it will rain. This was for the New England region, obviously we cannot get hyper local like Bristol county when we are 5-8 days out. We had a good soaking (>0.5") in 90% of the area. The fact Taunton missed getting almost 1" by like 7 miles as the crow flies, it just shit luck. Going forward they'll be a few showers there tomorrow, with a better chance of something Monday and then again Wednesday. It's October. A half inch goes a long way unlike in July when it dries up an hour later. Stein is done for now. Maybe he has Bob and Brett by the taint, but he isn't getting stronger.
