Is Trump going to opine on this? :-). The rains are Beautiful...the best rains in the world. It rains in 187 different countries but no one rains at the rate we do.
We are still around 1" here...rain has stopped for the time being. You look like you really are taking advantage of precip pushing up against the ridges like you mentioned. Radar shows yellows that keep reforming near you. (Not your fancy MS Radar the one I am using!).
That was part of my opinion from this AM. by 3PM I expect it to be much drier here vs. an all day wash out. Our zones now depict that as well. That bad in VA, that @Cashtown_Coop, mentioned, may be our big hurrah.
I do not have an expensive setup so my rain gauge is not perfect but between 1/2 and 3/4". Its raining pretty good right now. I think that 1.5-2" range is a cinch at this point for us.
I bet we end up with another inch or so of rain today but did not see a ton of training or stalling going on and I thought yesterday's zones had the large shield lasting into tonight and am not sure that happens out here. Today's zones did change from rain to showery after mid dayish.
Yea, seemed the main shield set up and covered the top 2/3 of the state. Other than occasional drizzle it was a dry day here until about 30 min ago. You are about to more than double your totals now though.
We put out a picnic blanket and slept a bit outside and I am glad there were some clouds. It was a tad too warm when the sun was bearing down on us for 10-15 min straight.
I am getting maximum burn off over here but hopefully you get some push back over there. We are about 6 or 7 degrees ahead of you on the climb up though. Headed to Mercersburg for the day. Wish the flea market would reopen. Need to get some treasure hunting in at some point.
