Very good chances at decent rain this weekend. We could use it and the temperatures are supposed to go down to more normal highs for this time of year.
Would love to get a few thunderstorms today and watch the show.

I'll get more than you guys today and tomorrow. It'll probably break up a bunch before it gets down to you. Supposed to start somewhere around 11.

You can have it. 3rd wettest April on record, May will end up there also. And next week is all rain. Really tired of it.

Worst drought since 2001 here and way behind in rain, we'll take it.

I thought you guys got rain like every afternoon there?

In the summer, yes. The west gulf wind meets the east wind and all hell breaks loose. We have thunder storms that a visitor would think is a hurricane. Been a extremely dry winter and spring this year. You guys get weather like that over there?

Only in the rainy season which starts around June and goes till October but usually by now we have had decent rain and thunderstorms pretty regularly.
Like Brad said it’s been very dry since the winter. It’s not unusual to have dry conditions outside the rainy season but not like this.

Hang in there. Five years ago the climate-check-cashers were telling us to brace for a prolonged super drought. This week marks the 3rd year in a row that our second largest reservoir, Lake Oroville has reached capacity.

From a few years ago we seen some rotation after multiple small tornadoes landing west of town.

This below was rolling into my hometown on Thursday when I was on the phone with my dad and I could hear their sirens go off. I was providing my brothers and parents info from live news as they were seeking shelter. They said it was a dust tornado. Think a tornado is a tornado.

Idiots thought maybe 2", got just shy of 1/2". Flipping people have no clue.

We got rain for maybe 10 minutes but it was still the most we’ve had in a few weeks. Almost a half inch also. Now it’s very humid.

Another crazy awesome smoke sunrise.

We're getting a lovely steady soaking rain, just what we need.

 

[03cobra#694]

Yeah, that went through here this morning. Got almost 1.5”, more today than yesterday that was supposed to be the big rain day. It cooled my pool down to 83*.

 

[BrunotheBoxer]

Yes we also got our most significant rain storm in months today. Had a couple of close lightning strikes less than a mile a way. Just a small preview of what’s to come. I’d say we got over an inch of rain so far.

Hello summer

 

[Fat Boss]

It's 85 during the afternoon and 50 overnight. It's pretty ideal if you ask me.
