Rain!
As of 7:56am we've only had 0.10" at the Smith House but there is much more on the way.
Here is the AccuWeather Regional Radar as of 7:45am CDT.
I'll have a full wheat belt rainfall report later this morning.
The East Coast Severe Weather Threat is Over
Midnight: The East Coast Threat for Tornadoes and Severe Thunderstorms Has Ended 3:50pm. Tornado watch for the Middle Atlantic Region. 2:30pm Tornadoes are also forecast in the South. 2:20pm. A couple of tornadoes, hail and wind gusts to 65 mph are possible with these storms. This includes NYC and Philadelphia. 1:05pm. The tornado risk has been extended northward into New York. The brown area has a significant risk of tornadoes. Remember: if a tornado warning is issued, go to your basement and get under heavy furniture like a pool table. Of, if your basement is finished, get into the bathroom. Go ahead an put a couple of water bottles and, if appropriate, diapers in your shelter area. Wear shoes. If you don't have a basement or safe room, go to the lowest floor and get into a bath or closet in the middle of your home. Children should be put in the bathtub. I'll update later today.
Send some to Southern Butler County please. "Bloomington" to be precise,as we've had the clouds break up and bypass us several times over the last rain events and we are exquisitely dry.
ReplyDeleteSomeone yesterday said to me, "There will be little if any rain," I said "Hm, I'll be sticking with Mike Smith, thank you very much. He says rain is on its way."
BTW, I have always wondered where to get the BEST detailed rainfall map data online? Updated and detailed amounts and ability to zoom in close to neighborhoods, etc? Does a thing such as this exist for the public? Thanks!

Hi Candace,
ReplyDeleteYou should have received a few hundredths already. As I type this you should get a tenth or so in the next hour or two. More is on the way!! Enjoy.
