Here's how the GRAF sees out rainfall over the next three days. Scattered about tomorrow, with widespread heavy rain expected Friday. Sadly Saturday looks pretty chilly & showery as well, but we do need the rain! Drier and nice by the time Sunday rolls around. https://t.co/HoYhfJarrB

Rainfall in the Thursday through Saturday time period will not be "drought busting" but could certainly help alleviate it IF we get the forecast 1-2" of rain. Wettest day looks like Friday. 🌧️ https://t.co/Y7bMBVBM3n
