6/26 - 10:30pm - .15" Today!

After a long and nasty stretch of dry weather, our rain totals in the last couple of days have been great. Sure, just over a tenth of an inch may not sound like much. But we can take what we can get.

For those who live east of I-65, today was a good rain day. A small cell popped up just south of Jefferson County and tracked just northeast while putting down a good tenth of an inch. Other cells in this vicinity dropped a good quarter of an inch in Shelby County, but of course we aren't that lucky.

Switching gears to forecasting, we have a decent shot at some APPRECIABLE rain on Thursday (night-ish). The HPC has put out this great looking graphic, showing what we'll end up with by Friday.


For this month, we are 1.82" below normal for rain. For this year, we are a whopping 5.11" behind. While I don't think the Thursday system will wipe out our yearly deficit, I think our monthly one will at least take a good hit. Some locations have seen rain amounts of over 2 inches the last few days, mainly near the Evansville area. So maybe its finally our turn to cap our drought situation...
