Rainstorm wimps out

Wednesday rainfall as of 6 PM fell far short of expectations, about 0.20 inch, after a warm and dry November.  November rainfall was only 0.95 inch, or about 25% of normal.  It appears that the trajectory of the Wednesday system formed an Appalachian rain shadow to the north and northwest of the mountains in a straight south to north flow.  Heavy rains fell south of the mountains.  It is probably still a good idea to water evergreens one last time going into winter  unless of course the back side of the current weather system overachieves.

Wet Fridays, nice weekends

After comments last week by Ron Wilson and Brian Thomas about wet Fridays this month, I went back and looked and found the following rain totals for October at the 7 AM CoCoRaHS observation at my Cheviot 0.9 SSE location:

 

Sunday: T

Monday:  0

Tuesday:  0

Wednesday:  0.82

Thursday:  0.25

Friday:  2.98

Saturday:  0.83

 

They were right!  Please note that the rain totals ended at 7 AM, so we have actually had mostly beautiful weather for the weekends.  Have a nice one!

If you are anywhere near Faith Fellowship Church at 6734 Bridgetown Road on Saturday, don’t forget the Fall Family Festival from 10 AM to 2 PM.
