FORECAST UPDATE

A dense fog advisory continues through the morning hours. Link to advisories.

Well, it has been quite the week of rain. We have had daily chances. Quite unusual. It has been a while since we had this many days with rain in the forecast.

Drought continues to be an issue over a large area of the United States. We need this rain.

This is the latest drought monitor.

No complaints. Imagine had this been a series of ice and snow events! We would be digging out for weeks!

Here is a graphic that shows the radar indicated rainfall totals from the past week. The rain has been spread out over several days. That has kept flooding issues at a minimum.

We do have more rain in the forecast. Perhaps even a rumble of thunder.

Let’s look at the Hrrr model. This is the future-cast radar. What radar might look like today and tonight.

The time is in Zulu. 12z=6 AM. 18z=12 PM. 00z=6 PM. 06z=12 AM.

Another wave of precipitation arrives today and this evening. Ending tonight. That rain will help mix out the fog this afternoon. More fog is possible tonight. Use care if you drive into dense fog.

Friday will be dry. More rain arrives late Friday night into Saturday. Woosh! Rain rain rain.

The GFS model shows another rain event Sunday night and Monday, but for now I have left that portion of the forecast dry.

Here is the latest rainfall outlook. Today through Saturday evening.
