Monsoonal Air Mass.

The hurricane name Florence is a few hundred miles away but her outer bands are pretty far reaching. It’s been very humid and rainy the last few days as the air changes around the hurricane.

Instagram won’t let me post this photo with the kind of detail shown here.

It’s hard to describe the rain that has come out of the sky except to call it a monsoon like rain. Thick and condensed and straight down without any wind. Then it clears up and the sky looks like the above.

The ground is completely saturated and I’m afraid it’s going to be raining for a while more before all that stops. Hopefully the hurricane stays far away but we are ready in any case.
