Here at my house I recorded 0.73″ of rain last night. Not much in the way of storms here a few flashes of lightning, some moderate rain fall but no wind at all here.
At the current time it looks like June 2020 will end up being warmer than average but nothing that stands out. And the start of July looks to also be warmer than average.

The Heat will be on next week ! How many 90s can we rack up !

Wow, feel free to delete the political posts MV. No one is coming here to read that.

“Stormproof” rainfall of 8/10 of an inch…regardless of our imaginations, and longings regarding “storms”…and our local Meteorologists fascination with the term “severe”.
Currently cloudy and 69 here with a DP of 67.

We were on the northern edge of the severe weather last night with lots of lightning, some wind and torrential rainfall. The brunt of the straight-line wind damage stayed to just south of us through Bangor, Covert on east through Kalamazoo and Battle Creek. I recorded 1.90 inches of rainfall much of which fell between 9 pm to 10:15 pm.
That’s similar to what happened here too.
Thanks for the stats Slim! We ended up with 1.71” of rain last night with a decent amount of thunder and lightening, but no wind at all. The air sure has become thick. Current dew point of 71 feels just terrible.
