We've had close to 2" of rain since rain began falling a day ago. Many locations in southern Middle Tennessee have had more than 3". This round of rain should clear the Cookeville area this morning by 9 o'clock. The next round begins Friday with an elevated chance of SEVERE WEATHER. Rain stays with us through most of the weekend. I will keep you all informed as we get closer to the severe weather threat. Our friends to our south in Alabama and Mississippi are already dealing with some strong weather today. More info available at ALABAMA WX.
RAIN TOTALS THIS YEAR
So far, for March, I've recorded 5.45" of rain. Average for March is: 5.63"..we surely exceed that number in the next day or two. Total for 2009 is: 14.2" while the average through 3 months is: 15.46"...the great news is over the last three years, we've averaged just 12.18"...so, 2009 is off to an excellent start. Let's hope it stays that way.
