Captured this on July 3rd in Sweetwater.

Today the heavy rain has popped up a couple miles away from me in every direction at different times. I've gotten about .15 so far. Areas just E/S/N/W have gotten .5 or more. 

Apparently there's little or no steering currents. They seem to just kind of drift in various directions.

There's been a lot of cloud to ground lightning with these storms.

Of course right after I posted that it starts absolutely pouring down here.

That heavy shower delivered an inch of rain. The deficit is being chipped away at but the lake level is still 10 or so feet lower than normal summer pool.
