Rain chances continue

Posted By · May 6, 2013 at 5:18 pm

7daymay6We’ve had so much rain this spring that our water table has recovered from last year’s drought. Unfortunately the rain had been so consistent that many farmers have not been able to start planting. That will continue this week as we have a daily chance for rain through Saturday. Our greatest risk for strong storms will come as a cold front approaches Friday and Saturday.

This week we will have a daily chance for rain through Saturday. Tuesday will be the driest day so get your lawn mowed!

Forecast improving for Mini Marathon

Posted By · May 3, 2013 at 2:00 pm

miniforecastThe weather looks much better for the Mini. We’ll have clouds and maybe a few sprinkles at the most.

Our computer models are pushing our low pressure area south so the heaviest rain will stay south of us. Right now the weekend looks more dry than wet. We’ll have a few showers but no major thunderstorms or severe weather.

Cool down this weekend

Posted By · May 2, 2013 at 10:31 pm

We’ll have one more day in the mid-70s before a cool down this weekend. We’ll have a daily chance for scattered showers and thunderstorms through Monday. Our current computer models are pushing our low pressure area father south this weekend.

If that track continues, we’ll have mainly dry conditions this weekend with just a few showers. Let’s keep our fingers crossed.
