Monday night's thunderstorm watch turned into the real deal with a pretty good show of lightning and thunder and even some pounding rain for an hour or so.

The rain will be of relief to gardeners and those who's lawns weren't as green as they could be.

And while it's welcomed by area farmers, it wasn't enough to make any real difference to area crops.

More rain, inlcuding the possibility of thunderstorms are in the forecast for Tuesday, August 1 and overnight into Wednesday, August 2.

But it's back to sunshine and high's into the mid to low 20's for the rest of the week and through the weekend.
