We got some welcome rain over the last 2 days. The following are rainfall totals across mid-state:
Dover = 1.03 inches
Bridgeville = 0.46 inches
Ellendale = 1.72 inches
Georgetown = 0.51 inches
Harrington = 0.08 inches
Kitts Hummock = 0.12 inches
Milford = 0.62 inches
Sandtown = 0.24 inches
Smyrna = 1.94 inches
Townsend = 0.07 inches (they did get 1.0 inches on 7/16)
Viola = 0.02 inches
As you can see, rainfall has been quite variable. Some areas are still dry, others have adequate moisture from rain. It is interesting to note that areas so close can recieve such different rainfall totals. Compare the Dover and Kitts Hummock locations within just a few miles of each other.
