Did well here and I'm calling it a lucky over achiever on the rainfall last evening.  Picked up .81".  Happy about that.  Lawn and garden looking happier this morning.  Lawns had really started burning by yesterday afternoon.  This rainfall will help a bit for a few days at least.  Had a few loud booms of thunder and some vivid lightning flashes to go with the wind and rain.  Estimated gusts to 40 mph but only very briefly.

Great pictures you all posted from last evening.

Looks like a short burst of intense heat by late in the coming week.

Would love for the LR guidance to be correct about a wetter period for the second half of June with the GOM possibly opening up with a northern transport of moisture over the eastern U.S.  Cautiously optimistic.  Of course any northward push of gulf moisture will make it feel swampy and that will make it uncomfortable but it is June.

 

 

Interesting, I live very close to 78 near Liberty Corner, and from the map it looks like my area got .42+-, but evidently the wind blew the top of my garbage can open early in the storm (so that was the bang I heard lol), and when I went out this morning I would estimate there was at least an inch of water in the can that I had to dump out.  I realize that's not scientific and the sides of my garbage can are not perfectly vertical etc. but It seems like I had to have gotten at least .75 here. Very very localized I guess. My lawn is grateful because I don't have a sprinkler system...
