About half an hour after I posted this, the skies darkened, and the heavens opened up. Picked up 1.15" from a small but heavy rainstorm. No thunder at all.
Rainy cool day here. Have picked up 1.43" so far and it is still raining. Temp at a cool 67 after a high of 74 before the rains came.
EDIT: Ended up with 1.59". Temp warmed up to only 71 and the sun is out. Unbelievable for mid August.
Had a surprise storm this afternoon after only a 20% chance of rain. Dropped only .08" but cooled us down from 93 to 75 and has remained cloudy since. Had a high of 94.
Ended up with .76" today. Had a bad electrical storm just miss us today but it did kill power for about an hour. What a month for rainfall. 13.48" was my total. I believe that is a record for me outside of a tropical system.
End of month stats:
Highest temp: 96
Lowest temp: 66
Highest dew point: 81
Lowest dew point: 65
Rainfall: 13.48"
Big storm complex moved thru our area this morning. Picked up 1.43" from it. That pushes my monthly total to 12.29". That is the most I have ever recorded for a month outside of tropical systems.
