My lightning detector has picked up literally hundreds and hundreds of strikes (am guessing mostly cloud-to-cloud) but I haven't seen any obvious flashes and finally heard one weak thunder seemingly from a distance, about 10 minutes ago.

Temp has been knocked down to 70 (dp 69) and have 0.61" in the bucket with light rain.

Went to the Phillies game today and then got chased back into Jersey by that line of storms.  The pollen blowing around was insane.  Getting onto the Walt Whitman, I couldn't even see the other side of the bridge through it.

What a glorious morning! Windows open with fresh air pouring in, not a ray of scorching sunshine to be found, rain coming down and beautiful temps...55F/DP 50F

Anyone have the storm reports for yesterday?  I want to see if I got the worst of things.

Finished up yesterday's round of rain at a much-needed  0.81".  My temps are still dropping this morning so may not have hit my low yet, but am currently an overcast 57 with dp 50.  More rain appears to be slowly moving in from the west.

Mod rain, ground soaking it up like a sponge. 54F/DP 51F

Guidance has really converged now on 2-3"+ region wide of rain through Monday. Sucks that the holiday weekend is looking like a complete washout all 3 days but it's much needed. Nothing looks overtly heavy either, just 3 days of moderate steady on and off rain so it should just be a good groundwater replenishment.
