Only 0.33 this morning, 0.03 this evening with occasional thunder and lightning.

Today's highlight for me is the 80 degree dew point, and the first lightning bolts I've seen this summer. One bolt snaked up and down through the sky like a dragon.

Wantagh manages .03" with the second batch and .18" total for the day. 

Apparently wantagh is the mini Sahara desert of our region 

But our lead over the North Shore in August 2011 was much bigger.

That was an awesome event.  Had between 7-8" of rain.  I wish someone would post the radar loop from that day.  I remember there was training of pretty strong thunderstorms over the south shore for a few hours.  We've had so much wild weather since 2000 that I tend to forget exact details of some of these events.

That was the heaviest rainfall event that I ever experienced. My first and only 10" event in under 12 hours. Many in Long Beach with a basement got flooded out.
