Default More rain on the way

Just what you wanted to hear, I know... but there's another inch of rain on the way for today (Sunday.)

The warm front mentioned in my above post from a few days ago has stalled out to the south of here, and has been the cause of all this cloudiness we've had the last several days. This warm front is associated with the same low pressure system (storm) that just dumped record snow on the northern plains and tornadoes to the south and east of there. That storm is weakening as it moves into New York state, but we're back in the wintertime pattern which means the storm will spawn its offspring along the mid-Atlantic coast which will then become the dominant one.

This whole process will mean more rain... just like in February when it meant more snow, except its not that cold anymore.

Look for rain throughout Sunday, heaviest in the late morning and early afternoon. Highest rainfall totals will be to the south, less to the north.

A cold front will clear the whole mess out of here on Monday but will also result in below-normal temps for at least the first half of the week. It looks like we may get a few showers late in the week (maybe) and then next weekend is starting to look like "a typical day in Ireland." Yay.
