The radar showed another little deal but it looked like it would go north of us. It didn't. It rained a little more. But by 4:55, it was done and gone. I rode home on wet roads, but didn't get rained on. But about 30 minutes after I got home another one came through.
More rain came through overnight and is expected again this afternoon, but my morning ride was good. Well, I got about half a mile of light rain, but not enough to really even get me wet.
Nice photo!
We need some rain like that to wash the roads and inject some moisture in the ground: it has been very dry so far and the forecast over the next 14 days is for 2 days with very limited precipitation.
