The Rain <br />gauge showed 2.4" when they left the site in the early afternoon as conditions were too <br />wet to continue working. Additional showers appeared to be eminent as they were <br />leaving. The rain gauge showed 3.1" on Monday morning. Interviews with Primero <br />residents indicated that additional showers had occurred on Saturday afternoon-evening. <br />However, Sunday showers had avoided the Primero area, passing further to the North.
