Is the rain finally gone?

Storms hit once again overnight and early this morning. Even this afternoon, we're still seeing a few showers, but by late this afternoon, we should start to see some sunshine!  Expect sunny skies Thursday and Friday with highs in the low 90s...but with all the rain we've seen lately, it's going to feel pretty humid.

How are we doing on rainfall this year?  We've seen 13.54 inches of rain since Jan 1.  "Normal" by this time is 11.30" , so we're officially 2.24 inches above normal.  That only tells part of the story, though.  Since March 1, 12.00 inches of rain fell...that's most of the rain for the year, and 4.97 inches more than average.

May is typically the wettest month of the year, with an average of 5.15 inches...and yeah, there are a few showers back in the forecast for the weekend.
