Couple of showers around this morning. Storms could fire up later. Highs only in the mid 80's.

We FINALLY got some rain last night! Not that much, but at least it rained, and there's supposed to be more on the way this afternoon and evening, a 60% chance. I hope it pours, this dry ground needs a good soaking... it has been a long tough haul without rain for several months.

Yesterday it was bright and sunny until I decided to go bring my trim pieces up from the workshop. It started sprinkling a little as I walked out the door. By the time I got to the workshop and started bringing stuff out to my truck it was full on downpour. Fortunately my trim was all PVC so it was easy to dry off. I took longer to dry off. LOL. It stopped raining not too long after I got it put in the house.
Today looks sunny.

Repeat of yesterday. Nice and sunny now, storms/showers later! Upper 80's.
Still dry. Although small areas are getting shakers for an hour or so, even some quarter size hail thrown in
Raining, hard, dropped into the 70's!
Beer is ice cold and the float is on standby!!
Send it this way Pearl. We really need some rain

85, humid, dark clouds, sunny.
I think I accidentally sent her the 'shotgun-showers' we had the last two days.
Terrible, but all done in an hour.
...That rapid temp-drop sure rings a bell.
Will do!

Seriously though, didn’t see a drop today! Nothing! Dark clouds, yes; one time at work weather alert on my computer said “lightning nearby,” but I might have heard distant thunder.
You even had hail!?
This is different. The display on my computer shows the current weather as
Air quality around Rochester, NY has been downgraded to "it's best if you don't breathe". Smoke from Canadian wildfires has made its way here and the air is brown - the smell of smoke is everywhere and the sun is pretty well blotted out.

It has been hot and dry. We have have weather alerts for poor air quality. There is a chance of rain this afternoon, but no more precip in the forecast until Sunday.
I think we all need the rain. Well, maybe not Pearl.

No hail, just heavy rain and a t-storm.

Very, very weird this smoke from Canada. Hazy really doesn’t describe it. More like heavy fog, but not quite. And the ’bonfire’ smell is throughout the house, even with the windows closed. We’re hundreds of miles away. I can’t imagine what it must be like near the source. Prayers for all who are dealing with it in Canada.
We had rain & hail last night... hail in June at roughly 4340' elevation in south central New Mexico, lol. The largest hail was the size of marbles, but it still made a racket on the metal carport... I was standing under the carport at the time, as I got caught in a downpour while emptying & refilling the birdbaths with clean water. Anyway, we got some much-needed rain, so I didn't have to water this morning. Looking forward to riding the big ol' thumper tomorrow, it has been awhile...
Aaaand another 'shotgun-shower' for us todayI think I accidentally sent her the 'shotgun-showers' we had the last two days.
Terrible, but all done in an hour.
..69" in a half hour
.It's weird how it can be dead-calm, storm like crazy, and then be dead-calm an hour later
.Edit: Oh, I forgot the good part - we don't have to water plants today!
Everything got poured on today, even the ones 4' inside the patio

Here in rocky mountain montana it has been thunderstorming and rainging almost every day. Lots of weeds and the mosquitoes are hatching.

We have been dry, and hazy. Tonight I worked outside and it was ugly. It looked like a dry fog under the street lamps, but it had a taste like firewood burning and it burned my eyes a bit... Not good if you don't have an air filtration system.... We could sure use some rain to clean the air...
I "storm chased" from the pool float today.
Only got light rain and t-storms all around. Note to self, do not get in the pool when there is lightning 
! Too late!
Storms tomorrow!?
I got me one!
DW mowed the lawn this morning, instead of afternoon as usual.
Turned out to be a good thing.
We made it up to 91°
before our daily 'shotgun-shower' showed up and dropped it to 71°
.We got 2.47" in about an hour and a half.
Welcome to the swamp!
Edit: And why I use the term 'shotgun'... half an hour later, clear blue sky and full sunshine
