Heavy Rains for Some

As Kira mentioned, heavy rain has already been occurring today especially in Salisbury and it's helping out the drought conditions. Moderate Drought conditions still extend from Southern Talbot and Caroline and Sussex County, DE and all points South on Delmarva. A moderate drought is the first drought level out of 4. Any rain will please the farmers for sure.

Not everywhere saw heavy rains today though. The Axis of heavy rain extended from Dorchester, Wicomico, and Worcester counties, South through Northern Accomack County, VA where rainfall ranged form .5-1.75". Other areas saw as little as a few hundredths of an inch. Farms across the upper MD shore and Delaware could have used some more rain from today. Here are some official rainfall totals as of 9PM:
Dover .01"
Georgetown .06"
Salisbury 1.74"
Ocean City .40"
Wallops Island .52"
Melfa .18"
