Well, as you can see in the close up radar image above the WLFI viewing area counties did in fact see some light rainfall across the area. It took longer then expected to get here but at least we seen something! As you can tell all the heavier rainfall stayed to our east however rain is rain and we're lucky to have got as much as we did.This system will push off to our north north east and should be out of the area this morning. 
Lot's of spin with this strong low pressure system. You can tell by this radar image above. Taken at 6:56pm EST last night.

Today we will look for mostly cloudy skies to start the day however I do see some breaks in the clouds as we be come partly cloudy by closer to this afternoon. Clouds will move back in come this evening / tonight. Along with a slight chance for a few more light scattered rain or mixed precipitation between tonight and Thursday possible. Highs today will be in the upper 40s to low 50s around 52* degrees. Lows tonight in the middle 30s around 35* degrees. winds rather calm between 10 and 15 mph.

Today is also "Day Three" of winter weather preparedness week and this time we're talking about "Outdoor Safety During Winter". Lets get started!!
I LOVE that picture lol. He's cute, prepared, and ready to go! ;)
THE BEST
WAY TO STAY SAFE AND WARM OUTDOORS IS TO BE PREPARED.
MONITOR WEATHER FORECASTS. THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ISSUES
OUTLOOKS ON STORM POTENTIAL DAYS BEFORE IT ARRIVES. NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WINTER WEATHER WATCHES GIVE UP TO TWO DAYS NOTICE OF IMPENDING STORMS. NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WINTER WEATHER WARNINGS OR ADVISORIES GIVE UP TO 24 HOURS NOTICE OF SIGNIFICANT WEATHER SOON TO IMPACT YOUR AREA.
DRESS WARMLY...WEARING SEVERAL LAYERS OF CLOTHES WHICH IS WARMER THAN A SINGLE THICK LAYER. WEAR GLOVES...A HAT AND SCARF OR TURTLENECK TO MINIMIZE EXPOSED SKIN.
TRY AND STAY DRY. FOOTWEAR AND CLOTHING THAT CAN KEEP YOU DRY CAN
PREVENT HYPOTHERMIA. CLOTHING THAT INSULATES WELL OR REMOVES BODY PERSPIRATION ALSO REDUCES YOUR CHANCE OF DEVELOPING FROSTBITE OR HYPOTHERMIA.
IF YOU ARE CAUGHT OUTSIDE AWAY FROM SHELTER...YOUR MAIN CONCERNS ARE TO STAY WARM AND DRY. PREPARE A LEAN-TO OR SNOW CAVE TO HELP PROTECT YOU FROM PRECIPITATION AND WIND. BUILD A FIRE FOR HEAT AND TO ATTRACT ATTENTION.
FOR YOUR VEHICLE...HAVE IT WINTERIZED...INCLUDING A CHECK OF THE
ANTI-FREEZE...WIPER BLADES AND TIRE TREAD AND PRESSURE. GOOD TIRES
IMPROVE STEERING ABILITY AND SHORTEN BRAKING DISTANCE ON SLIPPERY
ROADS. IF YOUR VEHICLE HAS ANTI-LOCK BRAKES...TEST THEM SO YOU KNOW
HOW THEY WORK IN EMERGENCY STOPS. FREQUENTLY CHECK WINDOW WASHER FLUID LEVELS THROUGHOUT THE WINTER SO YOU DON/T RUN OUT WHEN YOU NEED IT MOST.
THE BEST WAY TO STAY SAFE IS TO HAVE A PLAN...TO KNOW YOUR LIMITS AND TO USE COMMON SENSE. ON THURSDAY WE WILL DISCUSS MORE PREPAREDNESS TIPS AND CREATING EMERGENCY KITS.
