You could end up with more, but the showers seem to be of a more scattered nature over the next 24 hours, so it could be more of a hit and miss situation. The HRRR shows 1 - 2" over next 18 hours, and it's been more accurate showing the QPF in short term than some of the other models.

On a non-holiday weekday when we need the rain, we can deal with the shitty temps for a day or two if that's what gets us some steady soaking precipitation.

Looks like some lower level dry air or mid level dry air knocking down what’s attempting to fall in SNE? The look on radar between KOKX and KBOX is significant in SNE areas… Glad we are getting some rain regardless!

Looks decent as long as you don't believe the GFS - seems to be the dry outlier on QPF... NBM still 1-2" SNE...

Hard to beat a day like today in mid June… even got the free parking because we waited until after 5…

There’s a coastal flood statement posted in my area… Astronomical high tides? The statement doesn’t mention the potential cause.

Just missing out here by 10 miles… I guess I can grill up my Saugy’s without fear of being struck by lightning.

Interesting little bugger lol... G19_sector_ne_GEOCOLOR_240fr_20260530-1040.mp4

Trying to figure out why everyone else is talking about wind and I look outside and see leaves barely moving... I guess it will be here in the next hour or two.

At least this storm is interesting. Better than 48 hours of drizzle and fog. Of course worse than a 75/55 and sunny Saturday.

Looking at guidance I think the storm Fri/Sat will produce more QPF over a wider area than is currently being forecasted.

I just did my first cut of the season last week. I've been gradually transitioning my lawn to drought resistant fescue and clover and it's been pretty low maintenance. I don't water or use fertilizer unless I'm planting seed. It's gotten pretty damn dry on occasion but it bounces back much more quickly than when I had more bluegrass to contend with, which would really not deal well with the dry conditions.

You are the lucky one. Radar is getting shredded as precip moves east. Put me in the “if it’s gonna rain make it worth it.” camp. These nickel and dime precip events are just annoying. Dry air be damned.

Lots of beneficial rain falling on the parched areas of Block Island Sound right now lol. Hopefully it comes north a little. Rain has been getting shredded on potholes in RI as of late…

Got to about 84 here before the sea breeze kicked in. Beautiful day! AC's are on for now...
