1. Calm the next few days - rain chances will enter the picture again later this weekend. More on that tomorrow - today I am going to enjoy my birthday!
Have a great Wednesday!

Now is a GREAT time to buy a NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio. Better to have one before storms strike than to be without one during an event. I recommend the Midland Model 300 NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio - that is what I use here at my house!
