Rain, Rain, What a Pain...

Well, it does not look like we are going to get much of a break from our recent pattern of wet weather. Already the HPC has been putting out 5-day totals exceeding 4" in our area (Louisville).

This Friday, Earth day, will be more like Water day, as our part of the earth will be covered by water. In case you're wondering, the record rainfall total for April 22 is 3.08" in Louisville. I really think we have a shot at breaking that 124-year old record if we get 'training' storms along the warm front.

This will only aggravate the regional flooding issues along the Ohio river and other smaller tributaries in southern Indiana.

In addition, chances for severe weather will be going up again. I'll be looking at that in another post. For now, expect the heavy rains not only for Friday, but well into next week, as some locations will be posting near record rainfall amounts for the month of April.

More later...
