[Cooperman]

Nothing in Baxter the last couple days. I’ve got new grass this year, so I need the rain.

[glenn57]

Dead calm in Marcell area. Skeeter are fierce!
I heard between 2 and 2.5 inches around home.

[roony]

We are on Smith Lake right across 38 from North Star. So far its been bass, smallies, and bluegill. Haven't got serious yet, having a few and playing cribbage. Between one thing and another we haven't been up this way for 7 years. With my three sons and their families.

Great area, have a buddy on Northstar.  Lots of grouse excursions over the years that away.

heard that lake is a tough cookie to fish.....good sized fish if you can find them.

[roony]

Been hearing the grouse. There is Smith, west Smith, little Smith, and east Smith. I don't know who this Smith was.

flash flood watch for a whole bunch of the state...  3 to 7 inches maybe the next 48 hours...   yikes!! 

[Gunner55]

  S'posed to start here ~ 10 tonight & go all day tomorrow. Locally 3+" possible.

[Dotch]

Only lite sprinkles presently, with the likelihood that rain decreases for the rest of the day so that's a plus. .68" at the ranch and .83" in Bugtussle the past 24 hrs. Still rain every day in the forecast yet altho the Sunday forecast when we're planning on going to the BTT50's car show looks promising. Mostly sunny with a 20% chance of rain & a high in the upper 70's. We shall see...

[LPS]

Must be a swamp by you now Dotch.  It is sunny here and only 67 yet.  The rains have just barely been hitting us lately.

[Dotch]

Ya there's lotsa standing water around. Guys are getting frustrated. Been numerous therapy sessions today. Should've been a shrink. 

[tangle tooth]

      As of 11:00, 1.25" of rain. Still raining.

[glenn57]

rained this morning for a bit...checked when i got home nmd had a 1/2 inch. lotz of thunder and lightning in the wee hours!!!!

[LPS]

Raining so hard with lots of thunder here.  Letting up a little now but the dogs still won't go out.  Can't help but think of TT when this weather hits. 

[Gunner55]

Rain started here just after 6 & it looks like some nasty stuff comin our way by ~ 7:30.

[Jerkbiat]

The ditches are full up here and the fields are lakes this morning. Crazy.

[KEN W]

WOW.....2 1/2 inches overnight. To Much and looks like more on the way. 

[Gunner55]

  Could get a mid-morning break but more on its way early this afternoon.

[Dotch]

Another .50" at the ranch & .40" in Bugtussle. Not that we get insanely large amounts, it just rains so frequently. We're talking 10 out of 18 days with measurable precip thus far in June with 7.34" tallied for the month at the ranch & 7.8" in Bugtussle. We're also looking at good chances of rain in the forecast daily thru Saturday. Last year in June we were begging for rain. Was watering the garden & pots like crazy. This year, not so much. 

[roony]

I prefer last year.

[glenn57]

yea i'd rather be inbetween!!! thinking this amount of moisture is definitely hampering garden plant growth???

[Dotch]

I prefer last year.

I liked two years ago even better. Every time I even thought about watering, we got an inch or two of rain. Corn crop was unreal. So was lawn mowing...

[mike89]

well at 630 this morning there was about 1.25 inches of rain in the gauge...   at 6pm it was up to 2.5...  water every where... 

[glenn57]

just started pouring here!!!!!!!

[roony]

Lots of rain up here by Marcel!

[glenn57]

and just like that its done..........for now...........

[mike89]

still lite rain here

[Dotch]

Sitting on the patio watching the SW sky. Can hear some thunder but on the futurecast radar looks like it'll get here a little after 9 if it hangs together. Be unusual if it didn't this year thus far. And yes dammit, I'm having a G&T. You gotta problem with that?
