If you woke up in the night, you might have heard a weird pattering sound on your windows. Hopefully you weren’t alarmed and realized it was just Wet Stuff from Clouds (that unfamiliar phenomenon also known as “Rain”). Looking at some of the official observations from overnight, we did get the shorter end of the stick again (just west of us they recorded between 1-2 inches, while we averaged ¼ to ½ inch) but at least that stick was wet! And the Wet Stuff (which started falling again while we were drafting this) may continue to fall throughout the day today, possibly accumulating another ½ inch… or even more? We also have to thank Mother Nature for providing just rain, and not throwing in all those other unnecessary bonuses.
Speaking of Mother Nature’s unwelcome bonuses, the severe weather threat map has been rather tame around here for the last several days… which, of course, means it’s time for that to change. Chances for showers and thunderstorms will continue all the way through the weekend, and some of them may get a little rambunctious. So far, Saturday is the only day that we’re actually in a severe target… and that one only has a “Marginal” (1/5) rating so far (strong-to-severe storms may develop during the late afternoon/evening). We are also keeping an eye on Friday, though, since there is a target to our south that keeps trying to creep closer – the NWS thinks that the ingredients for strong-to-severe storms could come together here by evening again. Sunday is still a little far out, so the SPC hasn’t made any target sketches yet, but the local NWS thinks a few scattered storms could pop up somewhere in their coverage area later in the day. Deploy the umbrellas!
