The rain has finally found me. Most maps showing right around 2" here, and still coming 
Yesterday for the first time I can ever recall the bogs on 206 were completely drying up. I’ve never seen that, at least I don’t recall. This rain will help the sleeper there as it was really drying up.
Southampton got absolutely dumped on yesterday. Based on the water level in my pool, we got around 4 inches of rain between Saturday and Sunday.
We could use the rain here. But looking at the actual forecasts on the days where rain is probable, the range is only 1/10 to 1/4 inch. So, doesn't seem like we will get much. But I'll take whatever we get, at least it would keep the fire risk down.
"Several things make the forecast for the two storms offshore "tricky," wrote Andrew Hazelton, an associate scientist at the University of Miami's Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies in a summary on Sept. 24."
"Among the factors making the forecast so uncertain are the potential action with each other in a potential Fujiwhara effect, and their interaction with a front moving into the Southeast, as well as the potential effects of the system closest to shore moving over the mountainous regions of Hispaniola."
"So far, Hazelton said, the new Google DeepMind ensemble, which has been impressing forecasters with its accuracy, is split on whether the closest system could recurve out into the ocean or make landfall somewhere along the Southeast coast."

September's hurricane forecast is historically uncertain. Is the US at risk?
"Interactions like this in the Atlantic basin have little precedent – we don't have an appreciable historical record to draw reference to."

If that's going to happen, you'd never know it from the forecast! But in the past, I've seen them completely ignore an approaching hurricane until they have a lot of confidence where it's going...

Guess we aren't getting any rain next week after all? Not really complaining - that's better than a hurricane! We got some rain yesterday, maybe 1/2 inch or so.
