The Great Atlanta Downpour of... Nevermind, It Wasn't That Great
Ah, Atlanta weather. You never know quite what you're going to get. One minute you're basking in sunshine, the next you're dodging rogue umbrellas blown inside-out by a rogue gust of wind.

Well, buckle up, weather warriors, because we're about to embark on a thrilling investigative journey (or you could, you know, just scroll down to the answer).
How Much Rain In Atlanta Yesterday |
Did it Rain Cats and Dogs?
Maybe not literally, but some folks on Twitter swear they saw a poodle surfing down Peachtree Street. In all seriousness, while there might have been some dramatic cloud formations and the occasional sprinkle, it seems Atlanta dodged a major rain bullet yesterday.
We're talking about a sprinkle or two, folks. Not enough to fill your kiddie pool, not enough to wash your car (though, hey, free carwash, right?), not even enough to dampen your enthusiasm for that outdoor barbecue (although maybe bring an umbrella just in case – this is Atlanta, after all).
QuickTip: Take a pause every few paragraphs.
So, How Much Rain Did We Actually Get?
According to my highly reliable weather sources (read: not that creepy guy down the street who talks to the clouds), Atlanta saw a whopping... drumroll please... trace amounts of rain yesterday. Yes, you read that right. A trace. As in, barely even a measurable amount.
Basically, if you blinked, you might have missed it.
But hey, at least the humidity stayed nice and low, right?
Tip: The details are worth a second look.
