Tuesday Evening soaking recap, plus some spectacular photos

COLUMBUS (WCMH) – Round one of rainfall hit Central Ohio Tuesday late afternoon & evening. It was a welcome site for many people as rainfall is very very needed. In Columbus we are more than 3.76″ below normal for the year in the rainfall bucket.

Tuesday provided a nice preview, or sneak peek for what lies ahead for the rest of the week and into the weekend ahead. Our weather pattern over Ohio does not offer any major changes in the next few days, so we will continue to pump copious amounts of moisture into our area, and then just wait for heating to bubble up rain & storms.

Tuesday it provided some folks with great rainfall and some clearly awesome photos as well.

First lets look at the radar estimates for rainfall in our area for the afternoon period until 11pm Tuesday: spectacular

We had a ton of great pictures from the storms & rain tonight, and the bulk of the most scary looking storms came from the south.
