Tomorrow I have to make the dreaded do i water or is it actually going to rain enough decision again, last time i did that it poured after the watering.

Fri night/Sat morning seem like your next best chance. Even tomorrow and Friday during the day/afternoon you have a chance of a stray one popping up.

I started today due to many summer experiences where counting on the right of amount rain leads to dried out plant life. Your plants probably wouldn't quibble over 1.5" vs 1". It makes it an easier decision if you have a well it would seem... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomorrow I have more confidence because it's 30%. I will be watching the radar closely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is incredible looking back several days ago this looked like a really wet period. If i can't get something tomorrow next chance isn't until next Monday that would be .40" total(.20" twice) in almost three weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KamuSnow Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Hearing some thunder from this guy for about the last 10 minutes. Not moving very fast - let's see if it can hold together. Getting darker and a little breezy. Currently 80F after a high of 86F earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yesterday was hazy and oppressive by mid-morning, which lead to those pop-ups starting so early vs the more typical late afternoon type. Currently 86F & partly cloudy w/dp 66F.

Plokoon111 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Wonderful little storm! I was in the Bristol Bensalem blob and it was pouring. Reminded me of Florida storms, very windy along the Neshaminy Creek with wind swept swells, and of course some good thunder and lightning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it has been continually reforming for the past hour or so. It has gotten dark here looking towards the NE, although the past 15 minutes have some small bullseyes forming to the north and to the west of me.

Wow - looked like a lot of rain besides all the lighting. Here the earlier cell did a bit of a fade, we did get 0.20" of rain which cooled things off. Currently 74F.
