Brief shower popped as boundaries collided. Lasted about 5 min but came down in large drops

Managed to get missed north , east , and south today . Last chance is that line NW of ALB and see if holds together which doesn’t seem likely 

Inbound activity

Not sure about there but it’s starting to get dry here again . Lawns beginning to show it in sunny spots . 1.87” MTD and most of that was on Aug 3rd . You may have had a storm or downpours that missed here 

I’m in the middle of tobacco harvest and the drizzle was enough of a concern for “trailers” that were loaded and outside getting wet that we had to bring them all inside and work around them.

Rain sucks when you’re doing massive harvest of anything.

Sounds like Connecticut Shade Tobacco? I have enjoyed many cigars wrapped in it.

Not sure which would do this first, but I know they would do it for different reasons!  @CoastalWx would do it b/c he pines for snow, and @weatherwiz would b/c he is just happy getting hail!
