We Need Rain And Here It Comes.

The rain is coming back and we could use some! Yes, I have been watching for some rain to return to our forecast for some time now and today could be the day lol. Yesterday we was looking at some possible higher rainfall amounts closer to three quarters of an inch however today is a slightly different story! And this is the reason I never make a final call until the latest models come in.... Because models change all the time! Well, today we are now watching this Low pressure system set up farther south then it was yesterday! This means that it will keep the heaviest of the rain also to our south..... Yes, this low pressure will have a lot of moisture with it as areas from Indianapolis, south could be looking for rainfall anywhere between an Inch to an inch and three quarters possible!! We on the other hand will be looking for rainfall less then this between .25" inches to a possible .30" inches as seen in this map I put together for you all below.You can see we are again expecting to be BELOW average on our high temperatures and even our low temperatures..... Today's high is expected to be around 77* degrees. Our average temperature for this time of year is around 87* degrees!!!! This means we are going to be around a good Ten degrees below average!!!! Even on Thursday we will again be around Seven degrees below average!! The record high set on this very day back in 1983 was of a whopping 105* degrees!!!!! I don't see us getting anywhere near this today!! lol.....

We will see more calm winds between 10 and 15 mph as well as on Thursday between 10 and 15 mph. I will be checking back in today as needed! I see nothing severe AT ALL!!!! Which is always great news. However a small rumble of thunder will never be ruled out! We will be able to relax and enjoy the Summer rain hitting the window!

I'M going to go hang with my family!! I will check back soon....................

I agree Justin, we need rain. Hopefully we don't get the fireworks that could come with it.
