October 13, 2010: RAIN!

October 13, 2010:

Well, it finally rained!  Rain was more widespread than expected.  Not everyone received rainfall.  But - a number of us did.  I measured 0.55" here at the Weather Observatory.  The first rainfall of the month.  It is a start!

More showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop today.  Locally heavy rain and lightning for those who find themselves under a cell.  No significant severe weather is anticipated.  A few isolated cells may once again produce hail.

There will be a little better chance for severe weather today over portions of Indiana and further east in Kentucky - although a risk has not been outlined by the Storm Prediction Center.  The main threat would be hail and gusty winds.

We should have a nice weekend ahead of us.

A more active storm track is expected to develop after the 18th of the month - looks like we might even have to push that off a bit longer - will watch the trends.  We will have to wait and see if there will be any severe weather risks.
