Only one Washout

Rain is in the forecast for the first three days in May, but only one day out of the Thursday through Saturday timeframe will be a washout. The showers on Thursday look to be isolated in nature meaning that not everyone will pick up on the wet weather. Rainfall totals look fairly light on Thursday to boot. Widespread thunderstorms should get going at some point on Friday with some locations receiving as much as an inch of liquid. The image to the left is of a strong line of storms firing up Friday afternoon. This rainmaker has shown signs of slowing down a bit so I would put the period of heaviest rain to fall sometime Friday afternoon or Friday evening. We stand at a slight risk for severe weather at this point, and this will be something we continue to monitor as this storm system evolves. The rain on Saturday should be pretty light in nature with the showers being scattered across the Stateline. -ADAM
