With more than 3" of rainfall recorded thus far in August, we're quickly making up ground lost to the drought over much of the area.
We usually don't celebrate a rain-filled weekend but with the lack of rain over the area, I don't think there were too many people complaining.
The rainfall amounts recorded over the last several days are as follows:
Friday: .80"
Saturday: 1.16"
Sunday: .82"
Monday (thus far): .41"
This gives us 3.19" for August. Typically, August averages just 3.83" for the entire month.
MONDAY FORECAST:
Expect a good chance for rain today with most coming in the morning. Thunderstorms may possibly develop later this afternoon. Chance of thunderstorms is 60% with an afternoon high of 85°. Temperatures will warm up for the rest of the week with highs topping 90° Tuesday-Thursday and a rain chance each day.
