We have been making up for a dry first half of May recently, with rounds of rain coming and going since late last week. While this evening could see a few sprinkles, our next meaningful rain will return Wednesday evening. We are First Warning that outdoor activities may be disrupted by rain after 6 pm Wednesday, and Thursday morning could see be wet. The First Warn will end by 10 am Thursday as drier weather moves back in.
