Forecast Discussion:

Looking past the amazing weekend, I'm beginning to become concerned about how much rain we could see at the 2nd half of next week.

GFS: Sixty Hour Precipitation Ending Friday Evening

That's a lot of rain coming in a 3 day period. I think the ground should be able to soak it up with as dry as we're going to be today-Tuesday, but it's something to keep an eye on. Also something tog keep an eye is the possibility of some stronger storms on Wednesday. But don't worry about that now, stop reading and go outside! We'll talk again sporadically the next couple of days as I'm taking a 3-day weekend back home.

Forecast Discussion: Not much to say here besides the fact we'll have one last day of damp weather, and then things are shaping up to be beautiful! A taste of summer is coming for this weekend which will feature temperatures in the mid 80's, and sunny skies. I think that we will not see another chance of showers until the middle of next week, but we'll deal with that in a few days. So just hold on for one more day!




Okay now that obligatory multiple 80's references are out of the way, I'm going to go get ready for the morning show.
