Rain today

We got 0.76" of rain overnight. Looks like a small line of storms heading our way for this afternoon too.

Just been rather gloomy looking the last couple of days. But the temps are warming up from what they have been.
 
Line split in two just before it got to me so nothing here. Like i said, i will be lucky to get anything till late June.
 
I've had Lots and Lots of rain in the last 6 months,You guys can have all of mine you want! Bring a tanker,Take all you want!:bump:
 
We got 1.51" of rain today. Mostly all at one shot with a thunderstorm and lasted about a half hour or so.

You sure the rain gauge is right? My area just gets the least amount of rain than anywhere in the state. But 10" seems high. I gotta wonder what the rest state has one AVG for rainfall. I don't think one city has had half that amount. I have not had 10" total since last Aug.

I think so, but who knows?. Without running two weather stations and comparing both results, how would you know? Heck, we don't even have two thermometers that agree with each other.

I actually replaced the weather station sending unit sometime in late December last year because the original one had failed registering any precipitation completely. Then on the first and second of the year we had quite a deluge.

Well, 2021 is off to a GRAND start. We have gotten 6.26" of rain here since 01-01-2021. 5.66" of that was today.

The small rain storms we had since then would plausibly add up to 10 inches overall. Just yesterday alone added 1.5 inches. So the total for the year seems to be consistent. It has been a pretty crappy year, weatherwise, so far. I had to buy a new dehumidifier for the garage because the old one didn't seem to be working all that well. Well, the new one isn't doing much better, and I think it is just because of how high the humidity level has been here. It's 97 percent right now, and it's been that way for quite a long time.

Forecast is showing a pretty good chance of rain almost every day for the next week here. So all the evidence I am seeing pretty much supports what the weather station is claiming. Plus or minus 10 percent, of course.

I only had around 30" last year total and most anyplacve right on the gulf was dry while inland and the east coast had much more rain.

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.
 
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.
 
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.
