The amount of rain shown is from the 4" rain gauge. My Davis Vantage Pro II showed .73" of rain. I believe this is due to the wind speed since with calm winds they measure the same.

If radar predictions are correct, the storm should shift south anytime now, meaning we should get some interesting weather today for tomorrow's report. Minor flooding was street puddles and ground run-off.

Had some nice lightning shows. I would consider these moderate T-Storms. Most of the lightning was 5mi+ away but we did have a couple that were less than a mile.

Well, "Walda" turned out to be a "fizzle" as far as weather watching is concerned. The total rainfall was taken over 3 separate storms in a 14 hr. period. While we did have some dazzling light shows, they were far enough away we hardly noticed the thunder. We've had "pop-up" thunderstorms in the summer with more significant weather. As a "citizen", it was nice to see the severe storms break up as they got close to us.

We finally did get a good amount rain yesterday, but it was not the severe weather we were expecting. No lightning or thunder, no severe winds, just a typical spring rain. Ground at obs. time is dry except on paved streets where we have standing puddles. The most significant weather was the dramatic temp. drops, from 77° to 67° in less than 15 min and again from 67° to 50° in about 15 min.

Watched a lot of rain clouds move through the area on radar yesterday and deftly side-step us or just dissipate completely.
