Beautiful, unexpected rain overnight. Amounts range from 0.20 to 0.40 across most areas, with higher values favoring the southern forecast area.
The BIG winner was Rafter-J/King Mountain. A very narrow band of heavy showers went over them, leaving up to 2 inches of rain!
Now what? Nothing has changed in the forecast. In fact, I could argue that the saturation portion is complete; showers could start earlier than expected. BUT, the best thing that could happen if you want rain is for the sun to come out quickly! We want to see the atmosphere start “boiling up”.
I see email coming fast and furious, so there must be a lot of reports. I will be back this afternoon after the morning models generate.
