The last thing our region needs is more rain. What I found amazing is we had a stretch of 9 days or so of no measurable rain. Then we receive an additional 1.5″ of rain and the ground is flooded just as much as it was 9 days prior. I think part of the problem is the ground was frozen so the moisture had no place to go.

Unfortunately we are going to have another windy rainy storm later Thursday into Friday. I expect this storm to be another over-producer. Right now the models are forecasting 1.5 – 2″ of new rain. I would prepare for at least 2″ of new rain if not more. And it could turn windy as well. There could be some flooding of streams and rivers. 

This is the last thing we need just before the holidays. I’ll provide more updates as they become available.
