Looks to be pouring 

Not just the heavy rain but we have quite a t-storm going on. Lots of lightning and very strong wind. Not as severe as that storm we had the day before the 4th, but it's gusting 40mph. North wind is blowing the rain sideways. Appears we're gonna get inches of rain too ... some of those HRRR runs were right.
