Post Tropical Cindy Brings Even More Rain

Since my last post I have received 1.11"of rain, taking at least my lawn out of the danger territory for drought. But how about we add on to that?

Tropical Storm Cindy made landfall along the Gulf Coast this morning and it's on a track northward that'll actually bring even more rain to us here in Central Ohio.

The NWS has a flood watch out for the entire area, highlighting the threat that the entire area should expect 1-2", but we could see much more in areas where these storms train.

While Cindy is still spinning over East Texas, all of the moisture was on the east side of this storm and is flowing in from the Gulf right toward our area:

Starting sometime this evening we should see just about 24 straight hours of rain and storms. Not only will the threat of drought be completely gone, but I feel pretty strongly that we'll see many area rivers and streams come over their banks.

Let me know what you see in your area and share pictures!
