Quite a difference in rain totals since last night. Ranging from as much as 1.10" across NW Chester County like here in East Nantmeal to as little as 0.02" down in West Grove and West Bradford. If you missed on rain so far chances will increase again for most of the area as we move through the rest of today.

I am surprised I didn't get any more overnight so did finish up with 0.67" from that round.  It has started raining here again as another round comes in.

Bottomed out at 63 just after midnight and it's currently raining (0.06" in the bucket at post time) and 67, with dp 65.

Showers and thunderstorms today before tapering off this evening. Some spots could see between another 0.50" to 1.00" of rain. Much cooler today with temperatures remaining in the low to mid 60s. Showers and cooler temperatures will continue through early Tuesday before we dry out on Wednesday. Rain chances increase again by the end of the new work week.

And unexpectedly, the sun has popped out.  Ended up with 0.11" from that isolated shower.  Will have to see if it becomes "self-destruct" and the sky clouds up again.

Currently partly sunny with the temp quickly rising and at 68, with dp 67.

I already had two Sun showers. It's muggy out, uncomfortable.. 68f/dp 65 f

Up to .75” so far. Only 9.25” to go for the Euro to verify.

Stating the obvious, this is much welcomed. I kicked up so much dust mowing yesterday you’d think it was August.

No way does even 2 in even verify today. Absolutely no training of t storms. Air is too stable and too dry. Just enough rain to keep the pollen down today.  I only had a .40  inch of rain yesterday- very localized.  2 day total --.70 inch of rain. Still no drought buster rains for sure but it does help the garden.

Yeah, radar is/was a disappointment today. Total flop...
