I am hearing reports of 4+ inches in Fremont. Don't know if those are exaggerated or not, but there was a lot of rain and street flooding here.

At 5 AM, when I left Gretna, visibility was not good for the first half of my drive.

Friends in the Oakand NE area who I know have reported accurate amounts of 2 to 2 1/2 inches in different locations.
For the record  NEBUGEATER does not equal BUGEATER    !!!!!!!

Spot checking some weather stations in Fremont, I'm seeing a few around 3.5". Same with Blair.

My house got just under 2".

i don't think i'd be surprised if they did, to be honest with you. I had to pull over on I-80, it was blowing me around and the rain was coming down in sheets. I even took a video, it looked like a hurricane, seriously

They keep saying more storms tonight, but the latest HRRR takes them north of Omaha.

i don't think we got a lot of rain, but this morning i ran into a literal wall of water at 84th. I could see it when i was approaching but it looked like dense fog in the dark. Then by the time i hit the gretna walmart exit, it was done

I got a little under a tenth from the first round, but more than a quarter inch from the lunchtime downpour.
