Radar estimated precipitation from the NSSL MRMS shows the entire Wasatch Front got some precipitation over the past 72 hours. Hooray!

It looks like pretty much everywhere from Utah County north and eastern Tooele County East got at least 0.15" and most areas got at least 0.50". Heaviest amounts were to the north along the UT-ID border. Last night, not only was it cooler and moister, but it smelled wonderful. A much needed cleaning.
The airport got 0.10" on August 26 and 0.64 inches on August 27. We'll use the former as one bookend and May 18th when the airport got 0.73" as the other. Between those two days, the airport received only 0.35" of precipitation, the lowest on record between those dates.

No doubt it was an exceptionally dry 3+ month run. In fact, there are only 12 years out of the 152 year record with < 1.00" of rain during that period.
Thanks goodness that streak is over, although the drought persists.
