Weather
⛈️ Rain is in the forecast today, along with the potential for thunderstorms.
Almanac: Sunrise/Sunset - 6:29/8:39 • Records - 90° (2018), 32° (2016) • YTD Rainfall - 24.1" (Normal - 23.7")
Details: There's an 80% chance of rain and thunderstorms today. Things might be calm at daybreak, but we'll see activity increase through the day. Much like yesterday, it won't rain all the time but there will be a persistent threat of rain throughout the day and into the night. Around a quarter of an inch or so of rain is possible unless we wind up under some heavy thunderstorms. Rain will likely have tapered off by midnight. Tomorrow will be drier, with clouds giving way to sun in the afternoon. But rain will be likely again by Friday and Saturday.
Further Out: We'll continue to be relatively wet for the next couple of weeks, before perhaps starting to dry out a little around the Memorial Day weekend.
