Yesterday day we were in the apopcoplype, apocolips danger zone for weather, rarely will we be in the yellow much less orange shaded areas of risk, but we were yesterday, all day they warned about supercells forming, grapefruit size hail, tornadoes, flash flooding in flood prone areas etc., we got a sprinkle from a couple passing storms and some wind. Not that I'm complaining, it just felt wrong yesterday, lot of damp energy in the air which tends not to work out well. Animals and people were being idiots all day.

Today. not forecasted at all, its raining, a slow set in rain, they are saying (for what that's worth) supposed to continue until afternoon, with a high of 66 and rain totals near an inch. Yesterday the forecast said near 80 and more severe storm chance.  I'll take the latter though, an inch of rain right now may not save us all, will certainly stretch pasture and ease the feed crunch.

Turned out they were right, more or less, we got 6/10 by 1 PM when it quit, but had a pretty big area of thunderstorms build up and rain just before dark and picked up another 3/10 or a little more, close enough to an inch for me, and no hail. Going to make a big difference on grass at least, and weeds of course.  Kind of sucks for all the guys who had hay down, and the places that flooded and hail that smashed windows and and roofs the other day, but right here is a godsend.
