Looks like PJ and the South Rim got bypassed by this one. Maybe that little storm cloud will move a bit and spread some of that rain around.

And... it's only 65F in the basin.  Sure would like to trade those temps with 95F we have right now!

I bet all the flora and fauna are sighing with relief.

More than 1" in PJ and on the Rim....about 1/2" in the Basin......so far. Looks like a good chance of more tomorrow.

Maybe too much of a good thing.  I think this is coming from a tropical depression that popped up in the Pacific a couple of days ago.  Don't need a repeat of last fall...

Looks like about an inch fell in the basin yesterday around 4PM. There goes the web cam for a while.
