Thanks for that info!  We're new to southern Calvert and I garden as a hobby.  The soil here scares me - mix of sand and cement.  The horrible drought hasn't helped, and this event has been very paltry so far.  Hoping for better luck later today and tonight, but I'm starting to think we end up real short down here.

You down near Lusby?  Call Hatcher's and get a load of compost and small pine fines delivered.  Once you get that done you should be all good.  I've had no trouble growing just about anything in my garden.  Only thing I really have trouble with is tomatoes but that's mostly a function of the trees iny yard growing so tall now that I get a lot more shade than I used to 20yrs ago.

LOL, yep. Wife was complaining that it was 67 in the house, on went the heat in May! smh. Currently light rain and 51.5/50.8. At 7 am CoCoRaHS report set a new 'cool max' for the date at 55.0 degrees, old mark was 57 degrees from 1990. Another 0.45" in gauge then, new 0.11 since. Close to 1.25" for event."

You saying that made me look at my temps. 50 outside holding at 70 inside, but I am in an interior TH. I did however change my system back over to min/max mode. So the heat will come on if it gets to 69 and put the air up to 76.

Rain wise .83” for the day so far. Event total is now 3.03"

[weatherCCB]

2.28” total so far

.75 today and 1.87 so far. That might be a little light. Had to clean the opening of the rain gauge after some of the rain Thursday.

Columbia/I had 3” for event total as of this morning. 
 

Another .2” or so in last 4 hours.

Looks like all the models give us another .5-2 inches of rain beyond this current system. CMC and GFS have it mainly fall on Monday-Tuesday with it's specific disturbance while Euro focuses it more with Thursday.

Event total up to 3" on the nose. Temp steady @ 49.
