Some Rain Today . . . More Possible Later This Week?

The good news is that our rivers have been receding, some still at moderate flood stage - but many are heading back to their homes to assess damage and start cleaning up.  Our rain today was not a welcome sight - we don't need any more.  We've had 8.11" of rain since January and are 3.64" over normal.  We received another .21 inches today, which will slow the recession of the rivers a bit. 
A bigger concern is later this upcoming week.  We will have dry weather until late Wednesday evening and will enjoy a nice warm-up - possibly to the low 60's on Wednesday, before rain moves back into our region with off-and-on showers through early Saturday.  It is difficult to assess how much rain we could receive, but it is looking right now that we could receive in excess of an inch, even with the possibility of a mixture of rain and snow early Saturday morning.  A frontal boundary looks like it might stall over our area starting on Thursday and finally moving out on Saturday.  We will watch this new system very closely - stay tuned to your Stateline for updates.
