Well. it's time to throw out the micro-detailed analyses and board your arks. You DID make your arks didn't you?

Yesterday we got 3.0" / 76mm by bedtime.
Since then we got 4.0" / 102mm until 7:30 am today.
Storm total 7.0" / 178mm (and counting.)

I already had to put out a deeper rain gauge / bucket!

This would be pretty heavy weather even in the rainy season. For March, it's CRAZY.

I hope everyone is staying safe.

The W.U. forecast for today shows 3", but we ALREADY got more than that!

I think we have a good chance of hitting my "worst-case" number of 10" for the total storm accumulation.

Here's a good story about our "March firehose" storm from Accuweather: http://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/mexico-flooding-weekend-mudsli/43721977

I don't have any rain reports from other nearby stations. Melaque/Barra not yet, Manzanillo airport has no functional rain gauge, The only Personal Weather Station remaining in Manzanillo also has no rain gauge, and of course there is no weather radar in this part of Mexico.

Later...
