Pretty straightforward to see what is going on around the area as far as precipitation. Rain, and lots of it! A couple of thunderstorms are buried within the mass of rain as well, here's the latest image from Tru-Track Doppler Radar:
I expect this rain to continue largely unabated at least until about 3 PM. We'll get a break between about then, with more rain and thunderstorms working back in after 6 PM. All in all, a pretty wet look for today and at least early tomorrow. Let's also look at the expected rains for the next five days.
QUIET AFTER THE RAINS: Be patient - things quiet down after we get through tomorrow's rain. I expect it to be gone by early afternoon at the latest. Some clearing skies and mild conditions filter in, these remain around for the balance of the week. Forecast computers want to bring in some showers and such Wednesday afternoon and again just after lunch on Thursday, but I'm not entirely sold on that idea. I can buy the isolated pop-up showers or storms that are typical in the warm season, but nothing more widespread than that. I'll keep an eye on it and see if my thinking needs to change, but for now, leave the organized stuff off the table.
SUMMER HEAT DELAYED FOR A BIT: It's clear to me that the 87 I put in the six day planner shouldn't happen, because of all the rain-cooled air as this rain continues to work through the area. I can say that 83 is more realistic, and it will be a steamy 83 with all of the moisture in the air and such. With some clearer conditions later this week and into the weekend, the upper 80's should get here Friday or Saturday.
Here's the forecast:
That's the forecast - we'll look at the extended forecast for you later. Blessings!
