Well, as our winter weather exits it is being replaced by springish weather. Wet wet wet.
Widespread rain has already fallen across the region over the past 24 hours. We have several days of rain to go. Between now and Saturday night, a widespread one to two inches of rain will have fallen. Locally two to three inches.
Scattered thunderstorms tomorrow and Thursday will enhance rain totals.
This morning’s radar shows widespread rain in our region. This will exit off to the east northeast over the coming hours.
Look to the southwest. That is the next system. It will spread rain back into the region tonight and tomorrow.
This is what radar looked like at 7 AM.
Rain totals through Saturday night. As you can see, we are forecasting quite a bit of rain. The good news is that it won’t be snow or ice. Temperatures will remain above average into Saturday.
Some ponding of water is likely over the coming days.
The ground is frozen. Low-land flooding will be a concern. Some streams may rise to baneful. There is a low-level risk of flash flooding. Especially where thunderstorms occur.
No snow or ice in the forecast.
