Present! DCA: +1.6 NYC: +2.1 BOS: +2.3 ORD: +1.9 ATL: -0.7 IAH: +0.2 DEN: -2.1 PHX: -1.3 SEA: +1.8

0.64 for the daily total, to go with yesterday's 0.35, just under an inch for event, and sitting at 3.22 for the month here.

About 0.11-0.12 has fallen here since 7 am, to go with the 0.35 from 7 am report. JUST 50 or so miles to my south 5-6 inch amounts being reported and FFW's up in a line from Roanoke to Bluefield WV!

0.35 as of 7 am, currently raining again.

AWESOME!! Congrats!

Only down to 44.2 here (been in 40's all week for lows), but close by there were upper 30's around 7-8 am.

New normal it seems

What an awesomely deep red sunrise here this morning!! Smoke doing its thing...

16/5/2

Well, that didn't help a whole lot. Mostly fell apart as it approached yesterday afternoon. Ended up with 0.02 in the gauge.

Happy Birthday H2O! Hope you have a super day!

Hmm, well, since the 1st of the month I've had 1.15 here, not including since 7 am this morning. Amazing you're only an hour or so northeast. Still lightly raining and a bit over .4 since it started around 5 am. Temp still hasn't crossed the 60 mark either.

Or climb in altitude. Above 4000 has just leafed out in last couple of days here.

Nice rain this morning, had 0.11 at 7 am report time, around 0.15 since then and still lightly raining.

Same here. One year (2016??) it stayed WAY wet and it survived thru to the next year before dying off in July 2017 lol.

Decent thundershower rolling thru here in last 30 minutes or so, 64.0 degrees. About .20 so far in gauge.

Hey! 60.4 degrees just before 1 pm, I made it! lol Maybe we can get a bit closer to a 'normal' high here (71) for the date. That big and bright orb up in the sky feels good too after being gone close to a week.

So frost got your plants?

12 gauge?

I'll finish your sentence, you must have been cut off... Someone bought a McLaren P1 that flooded during Ian, and now they’re trying to fix it. It will be interesting to watch... them toss tons of money at it. lol

Yeah, the 'sunnier with less wind' is starting to fade (literally) as we head into the afternoon. Set a new 'cool max' again, 50.7 degrees was the high, old mark was 52.0 degrees from 2004. Least we have topped yesterday as currently it is 52.5 degrees at 1 pm, oh, with cloudy skies and NNW wind at 7 gusting to 19.
