Not a drop, sun is out and so far a nice beach day lol

 

-Hazy sun is out....looking to get some more rain. I really hope this pattern ends soon. A day in the 50s with low DPs (which won't happen soon, lol) would be super nice.

-All critters are out making a boat load of noise

Hearing some rumbles, but the heavy stuff looks to pass to my south. Can't believe Redsky keeps missing out. There are parts of my yard I haven't mowed since mid July. Everytime it looks to dry out, I get a heavy down pour and the swamp returns!

Dark hear now...I think you get some decent stuff.

Looks like I'm about to get rocked and rolled (or is that "Rick rolled")? :lmao:

Have been hearing some thunder rumbling all around.  Clouds are moving in different directions at different altitudes.

Edit - and here it comes.  Huge drops.  I'm thinking it wants to be hail but melted.  Mt. Holly has alerts going everywhere!

I can't either. Just look at the little blue I95 sign in east Jersey that's where i am, a Borge strong force field was placed here after the May deluge.

They have that huge street festival downtown on Broad St. from City Hall all the way up to Master St. (just before you hit Temple U's main campus).  The warning did include alerts for folks attending that.  Broad St. is literally closed to any vehicle traffic during that entire stretch.

Even if I get completely screwed....some of the coolest skies I seen in while.

Dark skies/ low baritone thunder.... 

 

Yeah there are some nasty looking clouds that are still to my west.  I'm almost up to 1/4" already.  The sky looks like it's literally almost 8 pm.

Edit to add now getting almost 2"/hr rates.  Gully washer rain and some thunder.  Not that much wind at the moment.

It is a wild looking sky. As I said, I'm right on the edge -- off to my SE it's pitch dark with flashes of lightning, while it looks like the sun is trying to come out just to my west.
