Big Rains

In the last 24 hours, we've measured 2.44" here in Cookeville, TN.

Yesterday afternoon, around 5 pm, we measured .67" during a nice thundershower. It was very nice and quiet during the firework show and then around 2 a.m., the skies opened up once again. This time we received 1.77" in the CoCoRaHS rain gauge. It will narrow our shortfall by quite a bit. Heading into July, we were 85% of normal for the year.
