When it rains, it pours. I know it poured at my home in Salmon Creek. Reports from .20 of an inch to more than .50 of an inch were common. I’m sure some locations in the foothills received more than an inch of rain.
The thunderstorms rolled in on schedule Sunday evening and overnight but most of the activity remained over the foothills and in areas of east county.
The rainfall was welcome. Even though some streets were flooded curb to curb, it did little to nothing to help our drought conditions. We were just lucky there were no wildfires as the result of hundreds and hundreds of lightning strikes. At least it wasn’t a full-blown dry lightning storm.
We see a chance of more showers today and lots of cloudiness, with highs still hovering below normal for this time of the year. On Wednesday, we will still have leftover marine air to deal with but more sun breaks.
