Where to begin... The light rain started here around 7pm Sunday night, with mostly light showers and drizzle. By 9-10pm, it really wound up. The main shield of precip finally centered right over our area and we got trained by heavy downpours and thunderstorms. I saw 2 thunderstorms last night. The lightning was fairly intense, about 1 strike every 3 minutes. At about 10:30-11pm we had a downpour that registered a rainfall rate of 6.73" per hour! That heavy rain continued through to dawn, then mostly showers with some heavier stuff. This was a massive system, stretching from the Florida Keys to the tip of Maine!
The numbers:
Total for storm: 1.94"
Highest rainfall rate: 6.73"/hr
Lowest pressure: 1004.2mb
Pressure drop: 1029mb Sunday am to 1008mb by midnight
Highest wind gust: 14mph
Rain total for March: 5.04"
Yearly total liquid precip: 10.41"
Well, get ready for a big warmup with temps in the 80's this week!
