Radar trend looks good for central and northern MD and spotty at best down here. My county went into this at just 9.2" since Jan 1 for a departure of -7.3. Look at those soil moistures (20-40% is what you want)

Yep, the big 0.25. You think Drizzlefest '26 will get us to 0.5 total?

Shocking

0.17 overnight. Not much but better than the zero we usually get. The forecast looks good, but I think we end up with less than half inch all the way thru Monday here

No rain at all and now the forecast is looking bleak. I'm starting to think we get one of those multi-day dreary, gray periods with little to no rainfall. I'm looking at the second straight month with well less than an inch total rainfall. Might even be less than 0.5 for the month. Devastating summer on tap

It feels so hot already at 85, I'm dreading upper 90s! I bet on Friday we see temps sinking thru the 50s during the afternoon with showers and a stiff east breeze

LWX sounds optimistic saying rainfall from frequent showers should add up. I know a lot of people would be disappointed with a rainy Memorial Day Weekend, but I'm begging for it even though we have plans like everyone else.

But I brought the Germantown rain hole down here with me. Just 0.21 here

0.29 spread over several hours. I'll take it! (measurement from Mesonet 2 miles away)

@CAPE you got some yellows and orange on radar heading in?

0.16 so far which is the most I've had for weeks. Hoping for more from that batch in central VA. You're right about it looking heavier on radar that is actually is. Yellows on radar just produce light rain. But I'll take it! Glad it held off for Mothers' Day

I had one brief shower pass through and am watching and hoping for the good-looking stuff on radar heading in. We need this bad!

Since there are 70-foot trees close to the west side of our house, we'll skip the derecho but take the rainy late summer and fall that El Nino advertises. I gave up on the grass and will re-try in Sept. (The builder did the hydroseeding right before the Jan 25 snowcrete storm. I asked them to wait but it's a requirement for occupancy LOL)

0.05 total and less than a tenth combined with last weeks "rain event." I'm about ready to just give up on trying to get a new yard going. I don't expect any real rain until probably the fall.

Just 0.04, hoping for thunderstorms this evening
