Picked up .13". Not much, but I guess it at least saves one night of watering.
2 PWSs just south of me in Middletown got .84 and .98. That area has been hard hit with drought too. Great night for them.
I don't know what it's going to take to get me a significant rain event.
That looks to die. The one that got me was very impressive for lightning, but again, could not generate anything but light rain. Moderate rain, but light for a thunderstorm. Incredible for the amount of lightning it's producing.
Nice storm popped just to my SW. Constant lightning. Headed straight at me and made a 90 degree right turn to slide south of me. The forcefield is impenetrable.
At least someone in the area is getting rain.
ETA - I'm getting scraped at least. Some rain is falling.
Yes it is. But we're also closer to the incoming midwest heat dome. This has been the entire summer out here. We're hotter than the UHI almost every day. Our summer has been nothing like DCA's.
97F high, at least I assume that'll be the high for today.
Minus some miracle tropical hail Mary storm, it is not raining here anytime before November. These fronts produce nothing, and the drier it gets the less chance that they will.
W nor NW flow obviously will do it. SW cannot do it. S flow can't get it done anymore. And now E flow can barely generate a cloud, much less a drop of rain.
Got .12" from the early morning disappearing MCS. Barely even a cloud the rest of yesterday with yet another cool, comfy high of 98 in the year of no summer.
We really are going to go through entire MET summer with less than 4.5" of rain. Unreal.
