We had a west wind all summer and that means almost no rain on the west coast within 2 miles of the gulf. Summer before i had much more rain.

We got 1.23" of rain overnight and it looks like more is on the way. Forecast is calling for quite a bit of rain here over the next week.
There is a flash flood watch in effect in this area till Sunday night.

About time that you got some decent rain there.
We are up to 1.59" since the rain started late last night with more on the way.

1.78" of rain so far, 1.65" since midnight last night. And still coming down.
Obviously not a heavy rain, just a steady soaking. Will be good for the plants. I put fertilizer spikes into the ground for most of the fruit trees until I used up all that I had. So this rain will help with that.

I just LOVE how the Weather Channel must think that if they use higher precision numbers like 58% and 62% for their prediction of the chance of rain instead of just 60% that it makes their forecast more precise.

Connie and I used to watch the weather channel on the TV all the time. Mostly for the music they would play that would put us into a nap pretty quickly. Then they started flooding the channel with commercials. Then I found out which group actually authored the music. Now I just use their page on the internet just to compare with what the National Weather Service is predicting.
We haven't watched "commercial TV" for years now. Perhaps even a decade. Matter of fact, we don't even have our TV hooked up to receive broadcasts nor cable.
Disconnected from NetFlix a year or so ago when they began weeding out all the good shows (to us, anyway) and promoting their own generated content. And they raised prices, too. Most of the stuff wasn't worth wasting a bowl of popcorn over, much less spending more per month for it.

When i first got cable in 1986 i liked the music on the forecast. But it just went dowhill in the mid 90's.
Most of what i watch is 60 and 70's tv shows.
