Rain, Rain, Go Away

Because you have overstayed your welcome.

And, for the most part, the rain has left us high and dry. Well, not really, we are still low and wet.

At 9:30 this morning the only rain still in Alabama was a few showers right along the Georgia border. The heaviest rain was down over the north part of the Florida Peninsula. We may even see the sun showing its face at times later today!

This is great news because it will give flooded streams time to drain down somewhat.

The rain is not gone for very long. A few showers may redevelop this afternoon and this evening, then a general increase in showers and thunderstorms again tomorrow. Too bad.

While I am on the subject, here is a partial list of rain amounts in the last 24 hours–not a storm total. You can see from this list, that there will not be any blowing dust or dust storms around Alabama today.

4.34 Logan Martin Dam
