Yeah, QSL Scott and you know for anybody else out there listening to this net next time this is predominantly a summer phenomenon because in the winter with stratiform rain or Sort of widespread rainfall events obviously this doesn't occur stratiform is non convective rain. So it's Imagine the type of imagine fog that type of a cloud but above the ground. Those are stratus clouds nimbostratus, etc they're heavy clouds, but if you have stratiform rain where the rain is not convective in nature, it tends to be widespread. So in the southern hemisphere or in the tropics or wherever, if it's a relatively calm day and you do get a thunderstorm or a convective rain shower, so puffy cloud forming rain, and you're driving along, look for the edge of the rain. Sometimes it's, you know, you could literally draw a marker on the road to separate the wet pavement from the dry pavement. It can be that sharp. It's an interesting phenomenon. Typically, there isn't a lot of wind, so everything is not well mixed. When you get into severe weather where there's a lot more wind, then rain and stuff can move good distances from the storm. The transition point from dry to wet, or wet to dry, whatever you want to look at it, that tends to smear out more and it's not nearly as defined. You know, one side of town might stay dry and the other side will get wet with a severe weather day, but it's not going to be your neighbor across the road doesn't see rain and you see rain. You're both going to see rain to some degree. So it's when it's a calm, hot day that you'll typically get the real, the highest degrees of separation between dryness and wetness from a very well-defined rain shaft.
