What are the changes? Not as big a threat?

Sorry just got back here. I meant chances - it’ll storm but I don’t see guest severe with hail. Tomorrow is a better chance.

96 at the house. Car reads 98 here in camp hill.  

Had a 2 hour outdoor event at 3. I’m wiped out. It is nasty out.

Looks like a nice line of storms out west per radar. Their arrival after 8pm might steal some of their thunder (pun intended) though.

In a severe warning. It’s not a severe storm. 

But spotty heavy rain (comes and goes) and fairly gusty winds (low 30s).

Man what the heck…the mountains ate that line!

Total bust in Marysville this time. Just some gusty winds & light rain, barely a Trace.

How did this miss?

Loss of heating / sun and mountain uplift. Happens all the time.

Wind with .10 rain from the storm. Seems like they fell apart. Anyway we have tomorrow. Let's see if tomorrow produces anything.

Yeah, it was a joke here. Three rumbles of thunder, an 8.4 mph wind gust, and, like you, 0.10" of rain.
