.49" last night, was not expecting that. One loud clap of thunder to go with it.

I downloaded a really cool app yesterday called RainDrop. I see where your area got exactly what you said. It was a small area that got rain last night. 

RainDrop= Super cool app

The U.S. Drought Monitor has been correcting weekly recently, gradually eliminating the Extreme Drought category in Virginia.

This mornings update completely removes Extreme Drought from Augusta County.

The 9 am version puts most of Augusta County in Severe Drought, with Moderate Drought west of Churchville and near Harriston.

This is the first time in 2 months that the Monitor has been close to correct.

Raindrop is an excellent quick reference.  I have been using it for probably 6 months.  This radar indicated output can sometimes be a little too heavy compared to actual gauge measurement.  My radar indicated data is probably different than yours, because my scan is near 13000 ft.

I often compare radar vs. gauge measurement.

I just downloaded it.  You're right!

It does seem to compute a bit heavy.  I looked at the past week data and their readings for my yard are about .05" heavy each day.  That's not a big deal unless your events are .10", or less, like all mine.  Lol.

My latest favorite weather app is EverythingWeather, which pulls all data directly from NWS (since they don't have an app). It even pulls space weather from SWPC.

I know the gentleman who created that app. It's fantastic and my go to for a quick forecast and obs check. The Premium version is pretty inexpensive as well, and you get a good amount of extras and customization.

The past couple of days, the dewpoints have been falling to the mid-60s at night and rising to 70 during the day, the reverse of the normal pattern.

Getting tired of seeing 70 DPs every single day.

Just keep it hot and humid until Sept 12th, when I get back from the beach. Then we can cool off for good.

This has been an impressively consistent stretch of humidity.
