All of the wet weather and the Susky is barely flinching in response. Total rise in Marietta looks to be about a foot, and some 10' below flood stage. One of the testaments of how dry it's been over the long haul.

I believe it.  It was such a slow light soaking long duration event that there was virtually no runoff, ground just ate it all up.  Grass and shrubbery have to be loving it.  I know people didn't love it because of its timing over Memorial Day weekend, but it really was a pretty unique late May weather stretch.  It didn't really bother me at all.

There are no 90°F days on the horizon through the 1st week of June. An "Omega Block" will develop across North America late this week & persist into early June. Persistent, NW flow on the SE side of the block will keep relatively cool conditions in place across the Eastern U.S.

I'm sure that hurt him to type.

83 for the high today.

65 when I left the house with .1” having fallen and steady rain still occurring.

63 degrees for the low. Cloudy, not sure if we got rain showers coming.

Remarkable consistency in my observations lately, with three consecutive days of nearly exactly a third of an inch, then an even one-incher, followed by three consecutive tenth-of-an-inch type days.  I understand this probably only interests me ha.  carry on.
