More rain

Here are some of the rainfall totals since midnight: Searcy-.96in. ...Newport-1.04in.
These storms that are occurring night after night are keeping us on track for the wettest May on record. Flood warnings remain in effect for White County for moderate flooding at Augusta and minor flooding at Georgetown. More rain is in the forecast until Sunday. After this we will have several days of drier weather to give the ground a chance to dry up abit.

Twittering on severe weather

I have set up a Twitter site, espicially for severe weather. When warnings go out or crazy weather is happening here in W.C. it will show up on Twitter. If you choose to follow it is: 16SVWX. It is up just in time for severe weather moving out of Oklahoma. I'll be Twittering until it's through here!

Wet May with more on the way!

It certainly has been a wet May. In just the first 13 days we've had well over 10 inches of rain. For the month the normal is 5.33in. and the record is just under 16 inches. if the rains keep coming we on pace to have the wettest May on record. Rain continues in the forecast for tonight. This rain will be falling onto already saturated ground, making flash flooding a concern. White County is already under flood warnings for the White River at Georgetown and Augusta. As always, I'll continue to keep my eye on the situation!

A gorgeous weekend ahead

This weekend look for mostly sunny skies with clouds at times. Southerly flow will increase moisture and temperatures in the 80's will cause instability. This may trigger a few pop-up showers, but nothing wide spread. Our next chance for wide spread showers and thunderstorms will be Monday night.

Weekend soaker

A massive, slow-moving low pressure system is located over the southern plains this afternoon. As it moves east our rain chances will be increasing. This system will be a rain maker with no severe weather expected. Here in White County we could easily see about 2 inches of rain. Skies will be clearing late Sunday night. Much warmer temperatures are in store for next week!

Weekend rain

A beautiful, spring week will end with rain. There are rain chances in the forecast Friday night through Monday. It doesn't look like there will be any severe weather with this system.
