The front that pressed through the area the other day is now lifting back to the north. And later today and will shift back to the south again. As it places ‘ring-around-the-rosey’ with the region, it will push rain here and there along with it.
Showers and storms this morning are still, mainly, off to the west. That will change as we move through the morning and into the afternoon. For the most part today, though, it looks like most of the rain (but not all of the rain) will be west of I-59. Overnight tonight it will start to really spread east, and then we are all going to be ‘singing in the rain’ tomorrow.
That will last through most of Saturday before we dry things out for Easter Sunday. Rainfall totals now look to be between about 1″ to 3″ of additional rainfall. I will note, though, that while there won’t be water falling from the sky, there will still be plenty on the ground on Sunday. So any outdoor Easter Egg hunts may need to be moved inside
Then we should stay dry for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.
