Nothing much going on under that at the moment at the surface, at least a little earlier. It is a good looking blob though. Have not seen one like that this year.
I got just over two inches of rain yesterday morning. A big yippee! for me. We don't have much of a drought in comparison to last year here, but it is nice to get something from the sky rather than the sprinkler. (Being right around Tampa Bay, something magically makes me get less rain usually, even the mets here sometimes scratch their head at why.) I'm hoping the blobish thing gives me some more. I'm greedy. |
