Temp profile this afternoon
(other temp charts in monthly summary at the bottom)
Radar plus estimates with a few more details . I came in with 1.35″ today. I had .25 with round 1 this afternoon, 1.1 this evening. And .35 last night after 6pm. Total 1.6 since 9pm… Radar estimated .28 this afternoon and 1.1 this evening and 1.58 overall…so very impressed with the accuracy. Nearby, south on Foxtown Rd, it appeared more rain fell and radar estimates at 2″. Mchenry at Garrett College reading .01 today, and that was dew this morning, but estimates from 9pm till midnight gave the amounts for 24 hour 9pm to 9pm… There was no measurable precip there today. . A sharp cutoff. Interestingly, the afternoon storm and evening storm built in from opposite directions but had the same cutoff zones, and heavy zones.
