Yeah, wilting is not good. I've been fortunate to have some sort of rain pretty often...I think I only watered twice this year? Tomatoes, zucchini, peppers, kale etc...are growing out the wazoo. The only plant that has wilted a bit (but not horrible) was basil. Do an Indian rain dance around the garden...that may help.

Temp down to 75.9F / DP 71F    mod rain but ending shortly.

...FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM 6 PM EDT THIS EVENING THROUGH
LATE TONIGHT...

The National Weather Service in Mount Holly has issued a

* Flash Flood Watch for the Pennsylvania counties of Carbon,
  Monroe, Northampton, Lehigh, Berks, Chester, Montgomery, Bucks,
  Delaware and Philadelphia, for the New Jersey counties of
  Sussex, Warren, Morris, Hunterdon, Somerset, Middlesex, Mercer,
  Monmouth, Burlington, Camden, Gloucester and Salem, for New
  Castle County in Delaware, and for Cecil County in Maryland

* From 6 PM EDT this evening through late tonight

* Showers and thunderstorms with heavy rain will move through
  eastern Pennsylvania, northeastern Maryland, Delaware and New
  Jersey during the balance of today and into tonight. Rainfall
  amounts up to 2 to 4 inches are possible. The heavy rain will
  fall in a short amount of time and it may result in flash
  flooding.

* Heavy rain falling in a short period of time will result in
  rapidly rising water levels along streams and creeks and in
  areas of poor drainage. Significant roadway flooding may occur.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Flash Flood Watch means that flash flooding is possible. Flash
flooding is very dangerous.

Please monitor the forecast and be prepared to take action if a
Flash Flood Warning is issued for your location.

Do not drive through flood waters. The water may be deeper than
you think it is. A vehicle can easily become trapped in flood
waters endangering its occupants and those who come to their
rescue.

I am thinking the folks south of I76 will do quite nicely with rain...even just north of Turnpike WXSIM has 1.64" by 7am tomorrow...will still not be enough to get us in NW Chesco out of the dry conditions...as we stand at 2.60" below our normal YTD rain amounts here in NW Chesco....but if we can somehow get close to an inch of rain by tomorrow that will be of great help!!

Managed .60" yesterday, got a brother complaining in West Chester that every rain event misses them. Tonight's showers should have better coverage for the area.

I'm about 5 miles south of there and yes, since Thursday it's been pretty much a spectator event from here, a few drops yesterday and enough to wet the driveway (but not under the trees) on Thursday. Amazing how fast things dried out here in the last week with the heat. Just got 0.35" in a small shower that moved up from Delaware, with another batch on the way it appears, and this evening looks pretty active here and to the north...I'll turn off the sprinkler now. 76F, 73DP.

Been watching a little cell traversing NE out of Delco that has be re-curving back around to the NW but looks like I may get brushed by the remnants of it as it comes up from the south. 

Had stratus (after the early light rain) all morning until just before noon and then self-destruct sun on and off the rest of the day.   Only reached 82F as a high and currently 79F.
