We had several sprinkles and light showers yesterday, but not quite enough to measure in my soup can (<0.05".) SO the total for the last few days is just 0.5" But check out how much more rain fell not far offshore from us. 2" right up to the shore, with spots up to 6-8 inches farther offshore!

TRMM total accumulation for the last 7 days:

Today the "tongue of moisture" is still streaming our way, so I'm keeping a 25% chance for light showers in my forecast for today.
