Me too. 1-3 inches over a week is a nice soaking in the upper soils. It would keep the deeper soils damp to moist.

Man that’s a nice soaking from SA up to the ATX. It looks like the axis for heavier rains has shifted a bit east today.

Unfortunately I'm getting pretty grumpy about the extended forecast. I hope a wetter than average May occures, however once this rain event is over, next week is back to quiet dry weather. The cap continues and as of this afternoon the NWS is lessening the severe threat which isn't a bad thing as long as we get the rain amounts. The issue is that the cap has been very difficult to erode this year which is inhibiting rainfall. Until the cap weakens or becomes non existent, more of the same is likely with extended dry periods with a decent rain event in between.

I think the cooler than average temps this spring have hurt the chances for severe weather along with the frequency of the fronts coming in limiting the amount of moisture and instability for storm systems to work with. Just my two cents.

It looks like there will be too much CAP for any storms tomorrow afternoon and the main threat will be with a nocturnal MCS bringing straight line winds. However, as we all know, convective evolution can be tricky and things could change tomorrow.
