After five straight days of clouds and rain Summer seems to be establishing itself now.
Two day rain totals are very impressive with some towns exceeding 2 inches of rain and while the heavy rain has tapered off there are more showers expected through the next two days.
One day in and Summer has taken a mini vacation. Today, the rain came in early and was steady all afternoon and soaking this evening. Many towns have picked up close to 1" already and this is only round one of several over the next few days.
