Or anyone who might know the answer to this question because my brain is fried and my google foo has returned too many useless hits

lock it down.

Yeah, but I had just walked away to help Elly with something, so it hadn't had a chance to go to sleep yet. The little pain in the ass is always plotting and he waits for me to walk away to get into stuff.

Barometric pressure would have to go up to end the rain. That's about all I can tell you off the top of my head. :-)

hmm... I think I can work with that. Squeezing it off like a valve...

Barometric pressure and the amount of humidity (which I think is tied to that) -- here in CO, the aridity of our climate often produces rain high up in the atmosphere, but it evaporates before it hits the grounds.

Looking at the maps today, you guys are in a high pressure sort of bubble shape. Your poor little rain drops get pulled apart.

I found a link, now I have to figure out how to write what I'm envisioning...
