Welcome Rain

Normally it's rain rain go away, but not this time. We really needed a nice soaking rain and thanks to a low pressure system sitting to our south, that's exactly what we're getting. While yesterday's weather was more severe with strong thunderstorms, a few reported tornadoes, and the water spout, today's is not as severe. However, there were a few thunderstorms that pushed through Salisbury early this morning that produced some vivid lightning and heavy rain. Speaking of heavy rain, Salisbury has picked up 1.19" of rain since early this morning! Great news, especially for our farmers, since our drought was alm0st 5.5".

The low will slowly drift further to the southeast tonight and tomorrow, slowly brining an end to the rain. Tomorrow will be the transition day, with rain showers ending but an onshore flow continuing to keep clouds across the region. Finally on Wednesday, high pressure will resume control and bring a return to sunny and warmer weather!
