Some light sprinkles here right now, first we've had in awhile. Will have to see how much of those storms in Virginia and Delaware make it here. But I'll take whatever we get, it's better than nothing. :)

Has been drizzling non-stop all day here but seems to be moving out now, just in time for an evening walk. :) Looks like we've had a little over 1/4 inch so far. Not Noah's flood, but it should lower the fire risk for a little while and give the thirsty foliage a drink.

Well, they got that last forecast wrong, Sunday was the only measurable rain here (instead of the three rainy days in the forecast). But we might have a chance for something starting tonight...

Tonight: Chance of precipitation is 70%. New rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible.
Friday: Chance of precipitation is 90%. New rainfall amounts between a half and three quarters of an inch possible.

Seems I made a wrong decision. I thought it would rain more today. They were conservative.
Don't beat yourself up Bob. Weather will be what it wants to be.

This is basically all I ever use, it's the graphical 3-day that can be extended 2 more days. No words, No problem. When you open it the left edge is the time that you are viewing it. You can set your watch by the accuracy of the predicted time of wind directional changes. And who doesn't like vectors? :) The directional change timing is extremely helpful for hunting purposes.


I looked at Sunday's weather on Saturday and early Sunday and the actual weather we had Sunday was exactly what was predicted in the graphics. I mainly viewed the chance of precip percentage graph and the green bar indicators that correspond to descriptions along the left side showing slight chance, chance and likely.

I make fun of my wife's Apps that she uses for weather and I call all of her annoying weather Apps, McWeather. :D
