Rain

Hoping to get the rain that they are forecasting for here in my part of PA. We've had none to speak of in June and only around a 1/4 inch in May. The grass is fried and everything else is drooping.

@catter70 We are having the fourth driest year here in DC since they started doing records in the 1800s.

It is predicted we might get a half inch of rain today; it was supposed to start aaround noon, but nothing yet.

Nothing yet today in southeastern PA either. Very disappointing.

Keep the faith everyone. We have a 90 percent chance of rain later on today. On Thursday, we got nearly a half of an inch during a pop-up thundershower we weren't supposed to get. That ozone smells SOOO GOOD!

Nothing. Very disappointing. Rain cleans pollution. Cleans everything. Still hoping it will. It looks threatening right now. It was supposed to have started around 1:00PM. I checked the radar.....and yes. It's coming.

Was looking forward to it here in Central Pa but so far only 1/4 of an inch. I guess every little bit will help.

Yay, it's raining, finally. Hope we get a nice soaker.

It's supposed to start raining in Jersey around 7 tonight, with thunderstorms. Let's see if they get it right!

I'm in Colorado and it seemed like we've been in a severe drought situation forever....until now. We've had nothing but endless rain and small hail here for weeks. I just checked the drought report and we are officially out of a drought! ...in my area.

@catter70

Cats and dogs here all Saturday night Sunday morning. Total for year? Don't know, but our grass is getting more than enough water from our sky here, and has been much of the time, in a colder form.

Raining here in north Delaware for a few hours now, some quite heavy. Yikes - I just went out and checked the rain gauge - 3- 1/4" showing. The flowers are dancing! Just a drizzle now.

It poured in Philly today. So many roads were flooded. I guess the storm drains were overwhelmed. Many times on the Schuykill, you had to narrow down to one lane or go through deep water. I was in a pickup, but several cars were stalled after the big puddles.

Rain, nothing at all or all at once!

@chlema ... I love when you said "The flowers are dancing!" It made me smile. 😊
