Decent Kdp enhancement along the leading edge of that line near Albany indicating high concentrations of fairly large raindrops.

First few drops are starting and yes, they are huge.  Jungle rain drops type stuff.

 

Decent gust front...had a minute or two of 30-40mph gusts...whole trees in good motion type of stuff but non-damaging.

Wonder if the line holds up after ramming into the Greens?  I'm betting that my 5:15 tee time will end up getting wet at some point.

A few rumbled here... But yeah, big bag of fail. Of course, I had very, very low expectations to begin with, so maybe it wasn't a complete fail. We knew that these storms would fall apart as they entered sne.

same here-down here seabreeze was really ripping, stable air FTL
