Getting fringed again. Can't catch a break. Two days in a row with storms forecasted all day and just .07" to show for it. Tried to dig a hole to plant a tree in the front yard and the soil is dry as a bone still. Had to break out the pick axe! I live right between these two cells and they are both going to pass by.
-
Got up to 90 earlier, so at least it's cooled down a bit here. It was pretty gross working outside earlier though.
-
Another day of hot and humid, with torrential downpours that completely avoid my locale. Picked up .07" yesterday morning for a total so far of 2.84" for June, which is about half of last year's amount thus far, but actually slightly more than June 2021. Really hoping for some more today, but we'll see.
-
I'll take it. The days only get shorter from here on out. Happy Summer Solstice, everyone!
-
What a wild storm on radar!
-
What?? Noooo! Maybe it'll flip back.
-
Looks like it on GOES-East. That's fine, it can stay up there this time thankyouverymuch.
-
Ok, this is weird. Here's my radar at the moment: and here's my view to the west: I think there's so much wind behind this that it blew all of the precip out in front. It got crazy gusty here, and then we had some brief rain spattering on the front of the house, and now it's calmer and sunny. Pretty wild. FWIW, none of this even registered in the rain gauge.
-
Crazy windy here on the back side. Looks like we might get a 2-second downpour as well.
-
Must be something local to you:
-
Reading redirect in full effect here: Ah well, I'll take my measly .12" from this morning and hope for more next time.
-
It did here, and temp shot up from 61 to 70 in les than an hour. Big anvil-shaped clouds to my west, we'll see if anything comes directly my way. But you guys further east should keep an eye on the radar--it looks like all of these discrete cells might want to link up after the roll through here.
-
Looking forward to maybe a little bit more rain tomorrow. My garden really enjoyed yesterday. In other news, it's only 8 days now until the days start getting shorter again!
-
Ok ended up not bad, 1.41". That's a start.
-
Got home from work early today. I'm in my downstairs office and just sneezed my head off. My wife heard it upstairs and this conversation ensued: We've only got .15" so far today. I'm not really superstitious, but come on. I bought a new snowblower and it didn't snow. I bought a new rain barrel and it didn't rain for a month. What gives?
-
Woo Hoo! .01" from the first round. Lessgooooooo
-
Huh. Some slightly angry sky just to my NW. Like, regular-angry, not perpetual-sunset-on-Dune angry.

Learned a while back from this forum to use my imgur account and post the direct link here. It's never been easier: Shift-Windowskey-S (or whatever the Mac equivalent is) to capture the snapshot, then use Ctrl-V to paste it into your open imgur page, then copy the "Direct" link and paste it here.
-
View out front looks like we're on a more lush version of Tatooine. ("Second sun is a reflection from the window in front of my security camera.) I've only ever seen that far tree line obscured in such a way due to fog though.
-
Holy cow. My wife opened the patio door for two seconds and now the house smells like a campfire. That's just insane.
-
.48"! Also, my neighbor is already up on a ladder inspecting his roof. Apparently there was a bad hail storm here in 2014, so if they didn't get theirs fixed back then, then I could see why they'd be concerned. However, we're still hearing thunder here and it's waaaay too soon to be getting up on a ladder, lol.
-
Finally, a good, soaking rain here. Up to .37" now. Just a little bit more pea-sized hail as well.
-
Saw that. Reading proper getting nailed right now. Hope it clears out some of that smoky haze, it was really bad here today.
-
.25" hail confirmed, and .12" in the bucket. Feisty little storm! But wait, there's more! lol another one right behind it.
-
I think I might be next... Ooh, might be the first, real shot for enjoying a beverage on a lawn chair in the garage of the season!
