Up to 57mm for the day.

Rainfall rate has tapered off from where it was earlier... around 5mm per hour now.

Appears some heavy stuff is en route though.

I'm hoping Abby Sr. posts his total from his new locale at the top of the hill in Mission. :thumbup: Donut holed in Abbs at the moment at my work down near Sumas can't even get a decent A.R. in Abbs. :wtf: :lol:

It's called clown range for a reason.

Does anyone think we could crack 100mm in places?

Up to 62mm for the day. HRRR shows heavier rain is coming for the next few hours and then things look to taper off around 3-4am.

Yes, and Catnip Hill is one of them.

Models have shown amounts of 100+ mm storm total in and closer to the mountains.

Don't need that total for the central valley indeed perhaps half that total for out here is doable. IMO

37.8 mm so far here. Based on radar and models, this AR is not over yet but so far it's been nothing like the November 14th, 2021 event. But nobody expected it would be given the strength and trajectory. Still, I had some extremely heavy rain earlier today. I'll update my storm total at midnight. :thumbup:

Credit to Tyler Hamilton, grabbed this off his Twitter. Wanted to post the whole image for easy viewing, instead of just a link to the tweet. She's a beaut.

I was around 30 mm at 6 pm. No idea what I'm at now, but 40+ mm I would guess.
