It was a storm we’ll tell our grandkids about one day. With a gust of wind we plummeted into a nasty season of spending 88 hours below freezing, some of those below zero, with punishing wind chills. Rolling blackouts, broken pipes and hazardous travel were part of the narrative for many of us this Christmas. But, better days are here.

Drought Improvement With More Rain On the Way
Wet Pattern On the Way, Maybe Some Decent Rain Totals
Rain This Evening/Tonight; Storms Tuesday Night
Rain Saturday Night; Storm System Next Week
Rain amounts in last night’s sprinkler barely registered. The big winner was five hundredths of an inch in southern Davidson Co. Most much less than that. That was to be expected.
Our next rainer will bring more rainfall Saturday night. Sometime around or after dark, rain will move in from the SW. Could even get a few lightning strikes out of the heavier rain cells. HRRR illustrates what the radar could look like. Loop Saturday 3:00 pm – Sunday 6:00 am (when rain should be moving out).
Two Rounds of Rain, Tonight and Saturday Night
Loved seeing your pics of yesterday’s sun dog. It was one of the more brilliant ones we’ve seen around here.

Rain: Round One
I think we’ll get through most, if not all, of the daylight hours today rain-free. The incoming blob of rain will be light and moving from west to east on your radar display of choice. HRRR illustrates (1:00 pm today to 10:00 am Friday):
On/Off Rain Thursday Night Through Saturday Night
I woke up this morning to the [wonderful] smell of our turkey brine simmering on the stove. Bird’s now soaking in that goodness in the fridge. Tomorrow’s the day.
Tomorrow’s also the day when our next system brings us some very beneficial rainfall. But, can the rain hold off until you wrap up your backyard football game? Maybe.
Thanksgiving Day Forecast; Rainy Weekend
If you feel like your hands, lips and sinuses are dry, it’s because the air is at a nearly record low moisture level, per NWS. Some things you can do to help are breathing steam, use a humidifier at night, lotion and drink plenty of water. While high water intake is typically a summer thing, it’s also important this time of year for both you and your animals when the air gets super dry. Drink plenty of water!
Rain Still Anticipated Thanksgiving Night Through Friday
