I gots a good frog. Not sure what the total is ,will check later. This is our classic southeast windflow pattern with a real sea breeze that used to be our normal pattern in the 50's thru the 70's. This is the only pattern that i get a chance to get rain compared to the reverse west windflow he have 85% of the summer.

It would stop raining. It was the same when i lived in Danashores as it would always miss us. Plus i could not even give my house away.

Gotta love this southerly moisture influence enhanced by the east side flow from the low in the gulf......according to the local, educated and highly experienced professional meteorologists on the local news stations. Getting a lot more rain right now and even more on the way. Love it today. GREAT to be outside today and then the rain and lots of it late. PERFECT!

Them so called experienced bla bla weather experts are a total joke. That so called low in the gulf way to our west is nothing more than a axis of lower pressure and has no effect on the rain we are getting now. Don't know where you dream this stuff up at. I will go to bed LOL over this.

Tropical Moisture Soaking Gulf Coast, Southeast - weather.com Tropical System Vanishes

Over the past few days we tracked a disorganized area of low pressure from the western Caribbean to the Gulf of Mexico. Thunderstorms were not able to congeal and concentrate in any one area sufficiently to strengthen a surface low, i.e. to form a tropical depression, and the National Hurricane Center stopped tracking this disturbance Sunday morning.

A sharpening southward dip in the jet stream is invading the northern Gulf of Mexico, providing increasing wind shear and tearing out pieces of moisture toward the Southeast U.S. This has prevented thunderstorms from becoming organized near the center of the old disturbance.

That said, even without the threat of a named storm, the setup described above is still streaming plenty of moisture northeastward, bringing a heavy rain threat to the Gulf Coast and Southeast.

Great post Mike illustrating what I was referring to. Your link is from TWC, but local channel 8 and 13 both referred to the same effect. It basically opens up the gulf moisture and throws it up our way and particularly up towards the panhandle, but plenty our way. I honestly don't understand how some people can totally disregard what so many (basically all) professional meteorologists say, when there is so much proof available that the professionals are correct. Thanks for posting such an excellent article. You are always there to set the record straight. I will see if I can rep you again.

Not sure how you figure I am clueless for posting what weather.com has on their site about our local weather. It is pretty clear that they are saying the low pressure system in the gulf is what brought the latest round of rain to the gulf coast.
I'll certainly believe the experts on the subject over your posts.
