Awesome!

Dang! Caps are done.

3 day event total 3.58 here. Fog currently and 56.6/55.9.

Just realized that was for MD, but my county (with an 'H') also had schools closed due to flooding. There are four counties named Alleghany or Allegany in the Appalachian region.

Just started raining here again, another slug of moisture coming up from the south on radar.

Yep. Several creeks/branches out of their banks, although the river has crested and gone down a bit. 0.71" here, another rainfall record, breaks 1999's 0.67", and an event total of 3.39". The western end/side of the county got a LOT more water, especially yesterday, with two day totals in the 5-7 inch range.

Closing in on the record (0.67 in 1999) for the date. Still raining and another heavier batch is south/southeast of us and moving this way. Several reports in western in of the county of flooding and road closures with 2-4 inches of rain reported. We missed the 'train' that came thru earlier in the late morning to early afternoon.

Impressive thunderstorm just starting here, been thundering for 15 minutes as it moved in.

Only about 1/3 inch here, but just 20 miles to my SW mom has 2 1/2 inches since this morning! Radar shows heavy rain still rotating around there.

Yep, same here. I've pulled 3/4 off me in last week. Wonder if the dry spell we had back in April had anything to do with the 'abundance'?

That would happen 1 in 10,000,000,000 times, terrible luck.

Great!!

2.68" at 7 am CoCoRaHS reading, shattering the old record of 1.02" from 2017 for the date. Still raining lightly, looks like another tenth or so eyeballing the gauge from the house. Temps been locked right around 60 since rain started late yesterday morning.

Low was 36.8 (forecasted 38), but no frost here, wind stayed up JUST enough from the NW. The stuff in the garden still isn't thrilled with the temps lol. No where near record, which is 29.4 from 2022. Several more below 32's on this date, 1983, 2010, 2017 and 1980.

Interesting. I guess it is possible that the electrical charge in the air acted as an amplifier/carrier??

Currently 47.8/33.4 at 10:50 pm. Although there are frost advisories around me (not my county) I think we will be OK as long as the NW/NNW winds running 4-7 mph continue. Forecast low is 38 here.

Yep, spent today cleaning up and preparing the rest of the garden area for planting tomorrow all the 'warm' stuff. 'Maters and peppers, cukes, squash and such go out in the morning, per the CA transplant that is itching to get stuff in the ground, lol.

Wow, BOTH home teams lose after leading going into the 3rd period tonight

Was 45.6 here for the low. Sun has broke thru in last hour and temp finally up into low 60's after a mostly cloudy and cool morning/day in the 50's.

46.4 for the low here this morning, feels nice.

Set a new rainfall record with 1.17 inches in the gauge at 7 am CoCoRaHS reading. Old mark was 1.06 inches from 2009. Currently 53.6/52.8 and mostly cloudy.

Looks like .60 or so, still raining.

My numbers for the month of April 2025 Averaged high for the month was 69.1 degrees vs a normal of 66.2 degrees, a +2.9 degrees above average. The warmest temp recorded was 85.3 degrees on the 20th. Averaged low was 42.5 degrees vs a normal of 38.9 degrees, a +3.6 degrees above average. The coldest temp recorded was 24.7 degrees on the 10th. Overall averaged temp was 55.8 degrees vs a normal of 52.5 degrees, a +3.3 degrees above average. Total rainfall for the month was 2.30 inches vs a normal of 3.64 inches, a -1.34 below average. The wettest day was the 7th with 0.65 inches. There were 14 days with measurable, one day with a 'T', and 15 dry days. There was zero snowfall for the month vs a normal of 0.3 inches. The highest wind recorded was 42 mph. There were 13 days with winds above 25 mph. Several new records. A new record high on the 6th, and 4 new 'warm minimums' on the 5th, 6th, 7th and 22nd. Overall, a warm and semi-dry month.

I'll have to get a flashlight and try to eyeball the gauge, but been pouring here for last 15 minutes.

Made it up to 72 around noon, couple light rain showers with distant thunder in last hour has dropped us back to 65.5/58.8 currently.
