Not a lot of rain
While we are tracking three decent rain chances in the next 7 days, it’s not packing much of a punch.
- Area-wide, we’re looking to pick up around half an inch. (Isolated spots that see downpours will get more, however).
- It’s OK though, a lot of places have picked up 2-5 inches over the last week.
