8/31/2016 6:55 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Mostly clear skies, calm winds. There is a large thunderhead to the east. Yesterday I had a very quick smattering of rain around 3:00 pm but I did not check the gauge at the time. Either there wasn't enough precipitation to register or it had evaporated out of the gauge by this morning as there was not even a trace registered when I read it. It has been very humid the past few days.

6/26/2016 7/10/2016 6:35 AM 15 1.97 M M I was on vacation out of state for 2 weeks. From 6/26 through 7/2 there was no precipitation identified by my wife who was home during that period. on 7/2 she left to join me so all of the precipitation noted fell between 7/3 and 7/10. I suspect most of the accumulation was from a heavy storm on 7/9 in the afternoon/evening that hit the area before I returned home late at night on 7/9.
