Here we go again! Yesterday's storms were awful - these look even WORSE! Lost power for a few hours yesterday and I suppose I will again, today. We are saturated! Everything is soggy - including puppy, Grover, and mule, Ithaca! I have actually watched the WEEDS grow in the garden, while everything else in there is miserable. :(

Image should update as the day DRAGS on! Rain should be here by noon with the Big Fireworks starting at 2pm.

It looks like the system might have lost some intensity? I’m not seeing any white (or purple or black!!) inside the reds and yellows, and only tiny bits of white in the NWS “radar-lite”. (I don’t know what colors your radar source uses above red.)

Down near Sterling, IL, it looks a bit “interesting”. (More white in the NWS images.

Still pretty soggy!

I just revised some plans due to the predicted rains for us jumping up in predicted precipitation for Saturday-Sunday, while tonight’s look more modest. Of course, this time of year, “more modest” could still be another “1-1/2 inches of rain in under half an hour” event like a couple days ago.

Sat-Sun look for us like the waves of rain you are getting today. Then we cool off and get a few quite nice days — at least hopefully that pans out, as wifey wants to go on an outing. I’ve already talked to our neighbor about keeping an extra close eye on the place. :-)
