CranberryWX Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Sweet, steady light rain this morning, started about 9AM. The solid blob is breaking up though and shrinking as progresses east. I'm hoping for at least a quarter inch out of this so the ground beneath the trees get some moisture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.J Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Dark clouds starting to roll in up here. No rain so far but it looks to be on its way. I told my daughter to do a "Rain here Now" drawing with chalk on the driveway. Hoping to see it get washed away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CranberryWX Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I got 0.17" out of the mess that passed through. Chances of rain are pretty slim after this the next few days for my back yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CranberryWX Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 The NAM was right on. I got 1.59" of rain since 4:30PM yesterday. It was spreadout with three heavier thundershowers at 10PM, 2AM and 6AM...lighter rain in between. A good soaker of much needed rainfall. Currently still raining lightly from the batch of thundershowers that just moved through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CranberryWX Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Another thundershower rolled through with a few heavy rumbles thrown in...at 1.76" total. That's taking a bite out of the deficit.
