Rain, Rain, Go Away!


Well, morning brought Fay into the lives of those in Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana with flood warnings still throughout Northern Florida!
I expect we will see a few more days of this rain-producer with rains drenching much of the deep south; Alabama, Mississippi and eastern Louisiana. rain fall amounts may still reach 10 to 15 inches in much of this region.

I expect we could see another stall in Fay's movement on Monday, probably more in mississippi and Eastern Louisiana which could cause some more real flooding issues; I will keep you updated on that over the next 24 hours.

Last night we received uncomfirmed reports of more deaths due to flooding, but no numbers are confirmed yet. I imagine we will do a Fay wrap-up sometime toward the end of the week.

Nebraska had a bit of rain last night although this morning most of the activity seemed to be more along a line from hayes to Wichita.

We will begin compiling some of the facts and stats from Fay as we watch the tropics for more development.

The rain threat is pretty much gone for the rest of the day here at home with expected temps around 75 or so, so grab the family and spend some time together. Watch the side roads and gravel by-ways for a few hours as some of last night's activity made some of these a bit slick as I found out early this morning.
