Fun Poll II - Rain Potential

Although I'm not expecting any severe weather, thunder should accompany some of the heavier bands of rain this weekend across the state. The models are coming into better agreement with a heavy rain event particularly for the central and eastern part of the state.

I noticed on Bailey's weather blog that the Jackson and Charleston NWS offices balked at putting up flood watches for their respective CWA's. They have since upgraded their regions to a flood watch.

I thought it would be fun to see just how much rain these 2 weather offices will receive this weekend.

Therefore, Fun Poll II will ask for your input into how much rain both weather offices combined will receive this weekend ending Sunday night at 11:59:59. Since no measureable precipitation has occurred just yet, we will open the poll immediately. Voting ends by noon on Saturday March 5. The rainfall totals will include anything that falls for the rest of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday ending at midnight.

Again, I will use the 'official' NWS offices for the Jackson and Charleston sites for rainfall totals.

Remember, just have fun. Hopefully, no serious flooding issues will be reported this weekend. But the threat is there. Be careful out there. "Turn around, don't drown."
