A quick morning update.

Rain is moving across the region.  It is moving in from the south southwest.  It will take a few hours to reach our northern and northeastern counties.

Sunday’s Rain Update.

Let’s look at future-cast radar for today into tomorrow.

You can see how the rain spreads east-northeast, but it weakens over time.  There is quite a bit of dry air to the north, and that eats into the system.

Let’s look at rainfall totals for the upcoming week.

The first two graphics show you the potential rainfall totals from 7 AM today to 7 AM Monday.

Additional showers are likely later this week (mainly on Tuesday/Wednesday).  Moderate rain is expected with that event.  Gusty winds, as well.

The general theme continues. More rain south-southwest. Less north-northeast.

These next two graphics show you the weekly rainfall totals.  From today through Thursday.

As mentioned, there will be another chance of rain on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Let’s look at some future-cast radars for that event.  This system winds up nicely across our region.  Deepening with time.  If this were winter, then this would be a significant winter storm!

Most of the rain from that system will arrive on Tuesday afternoon and night.  It will continue to spin across our region into Wednesday night.  Perhaps a few showers early on Thursday.
