As you can see it is a bit overcast. An extremely light slight drizzle dripped on me while I did my hill hiking today.
And now, coming up on 3 in the afternoon, the first big drops of rain I've seen this month are falling. Currently not in copious amounts. I don't know if this rain is hitting the official measuring station at D/FW Airport. Or if it will add up to enough to bring the total above the current record low for North Texas, set back in March of 1926.
I just heard a big BOOM of thunder. That's the first thunder boom I've heard in a long time.
It is now raining hard enough that it will quickly accumulate more than .1 of an inch, and then go on to break the .2 record low.
It has not gotten above 50 today. Right now it is colder than when I went swimming this morning. At that point in time the water was warmer than the air.
I don't see myself swimming tomorrow morning. And if this rain keeps up there will be no hill hiking tomorrow either.
Which means by about 2 in the afternoon I will be being cranky from extreme endorphin withdrawal.
Okay, we are now in downpour mode. But there have been no more thunder booms.
Have I ever mentioned I really like a good storm?
It has now let up. That was a rainstorm of very short duration. And the only thunderstorm I remember that had only one boom.
In "beautiful downtown Fort Worth" we got a bit of hail with the rain. But like your thunderstorm, it was of very short duration.
ReplyDeleteHail must be attracted to the stunning skyline of downtown Fort Worth. Maybe those towering skyscrapers knock the ice out of the clouds. I saw no hail in my location.
ReplyDeleteIt got up to 53 here in Seattle today. Some rain and some sun.
