Was that the rainy day we were saving for?

We had 4 inches of rain in the gauge this morning – an accumulation that occurred in about 10 hours or less starting around 4 p.m. yesterday.

And there is more rain in the forecast for this evening and overnight.

Looks like I won’t be mowing the grass for a couple of days, which could be a problem since it’s overdue for harvesting already.

But this is nothing compared with what’s happening in southwest Missouri and parts of Oklahoma and Texas where the frontal boundary and storm systems have been parked for a couple of days now.
