Appears the forecast for tomorrow has improved. Mount Holly NWS going with mostly sunny weather here and 89 with a light East wind. Would be a good day for lawn care and garden activities in the morning before hitting that high later in the afternoon. The next oppurtunity for mostly sunny weather is not until next Thursday, between those days expect additional rainfall.

Small cell just passed over Middletown where I am and it is pouring. I cannot recall in recent memory the consistency of rainfall the past 30 to 60 days after an extended period of dryness

A very active day indeed. I located this report as an example below, but many stations with 3, 4, 5 inches or more of rain over several days . BRANDYWINE CREEK AT CHADDS FORD Provider: HADS Precipitation Accumulation Valid Total: 5.68 in. Starting: 7/7/2025 8:00 AM EDT Ending: 7/10/2025 7:30 AM EDT Historical Observations: 3 Day 7 Day

There was definitely a radar indicated hook presentation on radar with a thunderstorm Southwest of Middletown this evening that then prompted the national weather service to issue a tornado warning. I'm not exactly sure the outcome of this, but it looked really cool on the radar until I started to unwind

Tonight's storm was a more productive rainfall maker than last night for sure. Measuring over 1 in of rain, however not far from here in Claymont Delaware the rainfall total is 2.95 " on its way to 3 " with flash flooding.

Believe I saw a tornado warning in WV. Storms are firing up in that area.

For my area, and in general, Mount Holly has four times the rainfall potential amounts for later today, verus last evening, interesting. @WxUSAF posted about this yesterday, as well as @CAPE. WPC remains bullish next 72 hours as well.

Clear skies for a bit today.

DP a little lower this morning despite the steam effect from all the rain. DP at 73 presently. Better dog walking weather this morning.

My rain gauge had an electronic issue and was not working for this storm to measure rainfall. This NWS site link shows I only received .11 of rain from the two storms. I have a hard time with that because it poured here, granted the storm did not last long. Anyone know how reliable this link is https://www.weather.gov/phi/rainfall-monitoring

Little split going on here , experienced the gust front, but no rain yet, while ares to my North and Northest are getting hit hard.

Appears more uniform. We are going to score just a matter of time. Go WPC !!!

Me too

I am not enthused by the looks of things on radar, but hopefully this is reverse thought process and I get hit hard.

The Med sea marine heatwave is nuts !

Could use the rain since the last few days have not been great in the rainfall department. Storms are starting to fire in the far Western areas, however, with recent episodes of radar trickery and storms going poof and splitting I will take the same approach as in winter, don't measure the rain until its in the gauge.

Surf zone ocean temps continue to warm. Many locations are at 75 to 76 degrees F. I think we might hit 78 to 80 degrees by early to mid August.

The next three days provides the majority of the WPC's 7 day rainfall totals. Here is the day 1 to 3 rainfall outlook. Very robust prediction for excessive rainfall in our area.

Big rainfall winners in Delaware goes to areas far to my South and SSW. To my SSW Marydel, Hourglass and Chapeltown with near 2.5 to 3 inches. Meanwhile at my hood .17 and the rain area is moving away now, sorry flood watch. I think @CAPE must have done well when all is said and done.

So far its been rather blah. Seems that the rainfall area is speeding up possibly and also weakening. Many areas to my South and SW did well. I thought earlier today this event would destroy my garden with flooding, but by the looks of it on radar at this time I am worrying less now.

Rain just starting here, with a strong smell of smoke in the air. Have no idea why that is, unless someone is burning yardwaste.
