Greetings and welcome!
We had a small but intense area of rain move through last night. By the time that I woke up the very tail edge of it was exiting the neighborhood. I wasn’t awake for it but people said that it rained pretty good.
It didn’t much show up on radar, but it drizzled and misted later in the morning and early afternoon as well. It wasn’t big drops, but it was enough to keep the wipers running.
It looks like that will be it for the rain, and tomorrow is expected to be a nice but breezy 70 degree day. Saturday they up the temp to 71 and cut back on the wind.
The faster timing of the systems cleared the way for Friday to be nice, but Sunday’s late day rain now looks like a Saturday night to Monday affair. For most of Sunday the rain chances appear to be pretty minimal according to the QPF, but that goes up later in the day. Up until the noon to 3pm frame, the GFS has us in the 0.01-0.1″ per three hour frame. That isn’t much. After noon they are showing us in the 0.25-0.5″ per three hours area.
The big news today is that I am seeing more fawns. I saw one here in the driveway last weekend. It was so young that it could barely walk.
There was one fawn on the way home from work today that very tiny and really awkward. It was almost a little comical as it tried to scurry after Mom on legs that could barely support it. It was just burning me that I didn’t have a camera ready.
The whitewater rivers have settled down after the big week of rain, but they are still well above normal and at very fun levels for whitewater rafting. Get it while you can.
I am a little short on time so that is it from here for tonight. Have a good weekend and thank you for visiting!
