Needing rain bad. How bout you?

We have had rain every day for the last five days. We sure do need it, and it has been much cooler.

Its been very hot and dry here for weeks.
The rain was North and South of us yesterday (according to the radar). Never got a drop here.

I think we are starting to get into a more normal rain pattern. After getting the heavy rains from the tropical storm, we have been getting an inch or two every couple of days. I've gotta get out and do some serious mowing this week, and phone for a burn permit. I have three piles of trees that have been waiting to burn since last year.

Luckily we have now started getting adequate rain here in middle Tennessee. I just saw on the news that we have received more so far in July than May and June combined. Go Figure.... Hope you guys start getting what you need.

We received more precipitation between July 1-10 than in the ENTIRE year so far. :shocked: The "weatherman" (who is not a man :laughing pointed out that we'd doubled our precipitation for the year with those few early-July storms.

Looks like we might continue to get a seasonal monsoonal moisture flow, which can yield afternoon thunderstorms for us throughout July and into early August... I'm hoping so! :cloud9:

I saw reporting that this drought is worse then the "dust bowl" of the early 1950's...

We got a little rain a few days ago and the yard perked up a bit.

Today we got about six-tenths of an inch of rain in central Ohio and boy, was that a welcome sight. It was 95 prior to that rain and it cooled to 80 afterwards with the promise of more rain tomorrow. It was not a widespread even but happened to hit us for a change. Prior to this rain it seemed everyone around us got rain but we were somehow excluded. Everything perked up immediately but it's supposed to get hot again and we'll be right back in the oven next week unless the weather patterns start to shift and give more rainfall. This sure has been an event.

The dust bowl was in the 1930's. There have been several droughts since then, but none like that. Several books and documentaries have been done on it, and most are very interesting. Hopefully we don't see anything like that for a very long time. All the rain today was south of us - generally south of US 30. Maybe tomorrow. Glad you got some of it sixdogs.

I have the same problem, rain all around and not much here, seems like I hear that a lot, how's it missing all of us?

I'm hearing thunder now so maybe.....

Not sure how much rain we got yesterday. But enough to help. Radar shows more rain headed this way today.
