Running Up the Rain Total

Recapping the meteorological spring (March 1st through May 31st), we have seen above average precipitation totals. In March, we received just the right amount with our rainfall total just a hair above normal. April was a soggy month with almost a 2 inch surplus. Thus far in May we have been drier than normal (not too many folks upset about that) by almost an inch. There are only four days left in the month of May, but a soggy storm system should add quite a bit of liquid to the rain bucket by the end of the work week. Between the thunderstorms starting Thursday night and running periodically through Friday, we could pick up over an inch of rain quickly making up for the monthly deficit. Furthermore, we could see some severe weather during this timeframe too. The highest likelihood would be for us to receive some small hail and gusty winds. Thankfully, the dynamics are not quite there for tornadic activity on Friday. -ADAM
