Well, we hit the 5” mark in Eastham and went a bit over. I just emptied out the gauge so we can measure what is yet to come. #mawx Spotter #21-241 @wx1box.bsky.social @capecodweather.net

A rain-spattered plastic rain gauge on a wooden deck, the base stuck between the deck planks. The gauge’s background is dark blue, the lettering is white. There is lightly over 5” of accumulated rain in the gauge.
