Not the best but also not the worst weather this weekend

The weekend isn't a washout, however there will be showers and storms that we will have to plan for.

Anywhere from 1" to as much as 5" of rain fell across the region with yesterday's storms. Beneficial in some regards. The drought concerns are lessening with each storm, but with so much rain all at once the frequency of flood events continues to rise. Small streams and rivers are almost at bank full. Another rain event like yesterday could cause a different kind of flooding for residents along flood prone areas of our inland waterways.

Skies will cloudy over tonight. Temperatures will remain slightly below the seasonable average. All in all a pretty good Friday night. The clouds will continue to thicken and lower and part of the same weather feature from yesterday will drag more showers thru parts of the area tomorrow. Storms won't be as widespread, but should more rain fall on an area that saw considerable rain yesterday, flooding could occur quickly.

The weekend isn't a washout. Sunday is looking a little better than Saturday. If you have to plan for wet weather on Sunday, it will likely occur early in the morning. The weather then slowly improving to sun and clouds for the second half of the day.
