You guys really don’t follow this stuff either? Local Mets starting to get worried about rainfall in Rochester- I have no idea. 

I'm confused by this post.  What don't we follow and who is worried about excessive rain?  There is zero risk of flooding for our area.

Rightfully so. Josh Nichols (local forecaster) posted a tweet talking about people needing to be prepared. He has since deleted it. So add me to the confused.

I'm at about 0.9" rainfall thusfar today, since 8 am  (0.13" overnight puts event over an inch here).  Looks like quite a bit more coming for CNY.

Edit: I just emptied my raingauge, 1.02" since 8 am.  Total for event at 1.15"...

I’m not that far from you and I measured 0.58 inch since 7 AM and .06 overnight.  Skies have cleared in the last half hour and it turned into a nice evening.

Bone dry here. Lake Erie, even as warm as it is, has redirected all the rain away from us the last few weeks. Serious rain shadow. I’ll water tonight and looks like nothing incoming for the next several days.
