Raining west of Mankato but looks like that system is starting to weaken. Should be some precip here by around 11 but prolly won't amount to much. Some big cracks in the ground out in the fields yesterday already. Only a couple weeks ago we were saying please, make it stop.

It was to hot & humid to even sit under the awning and read today, even with the breeze / wind it was to much.

[LPS]

Absolutely pouring out now.  Gonna look like noone lives here the grass will be so long.  Thunder and lightning now too. Looks like it may last awhile too.

[LPS]

It is so dark here that it is kind of scary.  Unreal.

[glenn57]

Yea the radar looks quite colorful up your way.

Like Gunner said it appears all that activity is sliding north and off to the west. I'm OK with that.

[Dotch]

That was a hit and miss rain last nite. .08" at the ranch & .64" in Bugtussle. Nothing in Waldorf & .3" by Hartland. More in the forecast for Wednesday nite into Thursday.

[roony]

We use a push mower also. And yes it did suck yesterday in this heat.

Watching the forecast rainfall amount dwindle every time I look at it. This after I watered the main garden last nite! Going to stop looking at the forecast. After getting our hopes up a few days ago thinking we'd be getting an inch or so, now we're down to a tenth to a quarter tonite & less than a tenth tomorrow. As shallow as the root systems are on some of these crops & vegetables, an inch of rain would really be a blessing.   

[LPS]

We have some rain headed at us but it is breaking up as it gets closer.  I see another front behind it that may get close to us later this afternoon. Pretty humid out with very little wind.

[mike89]

saying we could get some this evening...
