The rain is here finally!. About 0.50" in the gauge and thankfully it's a moderate soaking rain. Not a flash flood like downtown Atlanta yesterday.

It finally got here overnight. It rained .25. Then it started back around 10 this morning and has been coming down pretty decently for the last hour. No thunder at all. I don't think it's thundered here that I remember, since spring started.

Shockingly Chattanooga got a true summer morning soaker. Also the CPC 6-10 day chart is AN rainfall. Given what's on the way Friday and Monday, scattered over the weekend, and whatever after that.. Barring an epic failure some drought relief is incoming.

Finally soakers have arrived here. A little over an inch since midnight.

My grass was late-August crunchy last week.  Today, it is recovering and green.  What a difference a week makes.  Rain is in the forecast as it should be for this time of year.  I was running on the greenbelt and ended up in a flooded section - we have had that much rain.  This isn't a big creek nor was there any current....I went on through it.  It was surprisingly cold.  The humidity is what I am having to get used to!

This storm extremely lightning and rain heavy. Probably the biggest one of spring so far. Wild that took basically until a couple days before summer started to have thunder. Last time I think was either February or March.

2 inches from that round.

Had nearly 3 inches of rain overnight into this morning. Saw where Jefferson co had a funnel earlier.

Nothing panned out today. It looked like it was going to rain all day, but it never really started. Only 0.05" here. Total for this 10 day wet pattern was 4.94". We need a few more of those to get back to normal. Still in D2 conditions here, but D3 is only a few miles away.

Really shafted in Lee and Wise Counties over the last 10 Days. 2.75" Total here. 3.69" Monthly Total. Over three quarters of an inch below average.

That's tough that you guys missed out. It was a very rainy last 9 days of the month here, with nearly 7 inches for the month, mostly falling over those 9 days. The heavy storms on Friday into Saturday came in at 2.95 inches on its own. 

Hopefully we can all get some rain tomorrow. The weeks looks dry after that.

It looks like it's going to warm up next week but rain chances return. It's been a nice first week of June. Not had to run my AC. It was in the upper 40s two mornings this week and the lower 50s this morning. Its 57 right now. I just leave the windows open and the house cools down to around 65 by morning, and it's not been able to get above 72 inside before the day starts cooling. Once the humidity returns, so will the AC.
