I Think It's Going to Rain Today

Actually, it has already dropped slightly over 1 inch, and it looks likely to continue through most of the day, as wanna be Tropical Storm Irma makes it's passage along the East Coast:

Potential Tropical Cyclone 10 may slowly evolve into Tropical Storm Irma near the southern Atlantic coast while surf, drenching showers and gusty coastal winds increase through midweek.

The main impacts will be locally dangerous surf and rain that slows travel for a while or ruins a day at the beach.

A period of rain is forecast from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, to Wilmington, North Carolina; Norfolk, Virginia; Ocean City, Maryland; Philadelphia; Atlantic City, New Jersey; New York City and Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts.

Small craft operators should exercise caution outside of protective intercoastal waterways as the potential tropical cyclone kicks up winds and waves.

It's windy, blowing 18-22 kts, but nothing serious, yet. But it does inject a little local color into the problems Texas and Louisiana are experiencing.
