The grocery stores are going to be crazy this week, between holiday shopping and potentially snow storm shopping.

Very little rain in the last several days here 7 miles west of De Soto. Drove through torrential rain and wind with the warned storm around 1pm on Hwy V heading out of De Soto. Had nothing back at the house at 5pm. We sure could use a decent shower/thundershower. I can hear the thunder from Southern Jeffco. Yep haven’t gotta much of anything here

Had a pretty wicked storm hit around midnight…… at least 40 mph winds ….. several branches down her at the lake Looking back at radar that had to be the lightning I was seeing when it was just south of me. It was really lighting up the grass around the place here. Getting old does have it's perks.....if I didn't have to go to the bathroom, I never would have seen the lightning. On the other hand not remembering which time I got up and seen the lightning cancels out the previous perk. Had lightning off and on for a good portion of the night. Never got a drop though.

Very nice steady rain here in Fletcher. Vegetation is loving it. About .75 so far.

After looking at the radar I said to myself "that cell is pretty close." Just heard thunder 7 miles west of De Soto. Thundering here also. No rain yet

Raining good here now too. It pays to be wrong occassionally. Looks like it’s blowing up over you.

I thought I kept hearing big trucks 'thunderin' by on the highway...a quick check of radar shows otherwise. Building storms just to my west. Fingers crossed 7 miles west of De Soto. Edit: Rats, after 30-40 drops of rain the storm was more to my south than my west. Maybe next one. Just had a pretty good downpour here.

I woke up to dry concrete on the driveway. Radar does not look promising with the next wave. Looks just north. Yep nothing here either.

Unfortunately, a lot of this won't do much for the drought. It'll help, but 10" in a few hours doesn't exactly soak in. Don't even... It definitely penetrated a bit…. It at least moistened it on the surface. ;-)

Constant storm after storm development to my south and moving away. Sad to watch and hear the thunder. Not a drop here.

I am sitting at 106* on my remote unit 7 miles west of De Soto. It is usually 2* too warm. Any verifications from around this area? 102-103 here in Fletcher

Unless even more develops to the west and actually holds together and moves over my house I have received less than .125". That really sucks. Was so hoping for a pond filling, grass/garden soaking event. Well that’s disappointing to hear. Was hoping to get a soaker at my house while we were away.

Woke up to see a flood warning for SPI...all is right with the world, lol Did get a quick downpour early in the morning and a little soaker a couple hours ago but it didn't amount to much. Plenty of clearing across MO ahead of the cold front...would think there will be development later today with a severe threat. Great call again Brtn. I thought I was going to get split by the two East-West lines one going north and one going south. But we did end up getting a pretty good shower at most a quarter inch but it was definitely well received. I was hoping the Western cells on radar would end up going over me but it looks like they dried up. You got lucky. Mostly all split around me.

Cashed in on the rain here. Had to be about 2 inches. Poured for a solid 30 mins. It was windy but no damage.

Anybody going to see the 3rd Jurassic World movie? My kids are so excited as am I. Reviews are horrible for it. But, honestly didn't expect them to be positive. I've enjoyed every one. Plan on seeing it at the drive in this weekend at some point.

Do you have any issues with seeds in the clipping sprouting in the garden? We also have very rocky clay soil and I use mulch but it’s getting expensive. I just don’t want to have to do more weeding with the clippings.

After watching the radar of this system coming in toward me for an hour I can't believe how little rain we got. Is there a different mode that the National Weather Service uses on their radar? It sure looked like we were going to get a lot more rain than we did. But I am not kidding I am dumbfounded by how little rain we got while watching the radar on the National Weather Service site. I guess I got to quit griping if I'm not going to pay for anything I got no reason to gripe. Got some sprinkles here lol.

On a side note the road crews have been working on Hwy H adding to the shoulders getting ready to repave it in front of my house today. I'm sure the people that drive it that we were stuck in the traffic already know that. They pretty much had it picked up by 4:00 or just a little bit after. They were loading the last of the Bobcats onto the trailers in front of the house. Looks great.... now after they repave it instead of the big trucks doing 60mph in a 50mph they'll be doing 65 and 70 in a 50.🤔🤔 I know they're making it a little wider. I'm thinking they're going to realign the road on some of the curves to kind of straighten them out a little bit. Just a guess on that part. I know I can't wait for them to cut the culvert pipe that they installed under the road last year and left it so long that I can't get buy it with my mower. I can barely get by it on my four-wheeler. I can’t wait for them to finish. The potholes have been horrible on this side of H.
