.14" in one 40 minute shower earlier, now watching the first of 2 formerly heavy bands of rain showers erode as they approach this area. Sure was hoping for the heaver amounts once predicted... will have to be content with whatever we get.

All them pretty deep oranges and yellows are suddenly turning light blue on radar :( They even skipped the green on the way! :D Heck, that 2nd line of showers might just be clouds by the time it gets here. *sigh* I certainly wasn't hoping for Pensacola totals, but this system sure has been a disappointment on this side of Raleigh.

While submitting my daily precip report to CoCoRaHS this morning, I realized that I've seen at least a trace of rainfall eight out of eleven days in June so far, but my monthly total is a mere .63". After a wet start to the year, it seems this micro-climate has settled into a "nickel-and-dimer" pattern once again. Today looks to be no different; radar downstream is rather abysmal.

Fail on my part. Over an inch fell this evening. I'm seeing a light shower at the moment and more is possible overnight.

0.69 inches of rain yesterday. Another 0.69 inches overnight since midnight. What a refreshingly wet pattern we seem to be in! I already have 2.99 inches of rain recorded for the month of June after ~8 inches in May. We might dry out a little later this week, but I'm hoping for more today as the cold front passes through.

Just had .80 in about 15 minutes. I am on nightshift and was trying to sleep but the noise on the roof woke me. Its weird because this is how I remember summers use to be. Warm temps with rain every few days and a wet ground under your feet. The last 2 summers were more like the 7th level of hell with a brick under your feet from the dried ground being so hard.

Hit, miss or dissipate? If this line doesn't slide North, and if it holds together, we might get a nice soaking. If it misses, the once forecasted widespread 1-2" this week (greatly reduced since Sunday) will be a huge bust. Of course, with a rather robust 80% chance this afternoon and tonight, some of us have to be the other 20%, I guess *sigh*
