A rainy day...

Featured Replies

Looks like we have an all day rain event today.  Mostly light rain but with a moderate shower lasting a few minutes and some dry spots when the rain stops for a while.  Reminds me of San Francisco.  And for my part of the country it's a real blessing.  It will spend the day soaking our lawns.

In WindyT I can zoom in to the neighborhood level and see which part of town is getting the most rain.

I've been monitoring the rain on weather radar on WindyT.  I like WindyT because it gives you everything from wind data to weather radar that includes lightning strikes to hurricane and typhoon tracking.  It can give you the predicted rainfall amounts for the next 12 hours, 24 hours, 3 days, and 5 days.  And for you guys in Europe it's global.  I think it's the best computer weather program you can get.

The tires are worn.  The shocks are shot.  The steering is wobbly.  But the engine still runs fine.

The weather report this morning (Saturday) calls for rain for the next eight days. We've had several severe downpours lasting on average 4 continuous hours.

Where are you getting your weather reports from Fr. Bill?

On WindyT radar I see a small cell between Hot Springs and Lake Ouachita.  The satellite shows broken clouds in the Hot Springs area.

Weather Underground only shows thunderstorms for you tomorrow.

Here's your 10 day forecast from Weather Underground:

KARK the Little Rock ABC affiliate station, augmented by me sitting on the front porch and using my two eyes of course.

We had some light rain overnight, and another hours worth of moderate rain this morning around 8am CST.

Weather underground says you're going to get about an inch of rain tomorrow and scattered thunderstorms on Tuesday.
