An area of low pressure is expected to develop just offshore this weekend along a front. Just small changes, though, with the track of that low pressure system will mean changes with how much rain parts of our area see. Let's look at what possible paths we could see and what that means for us.

While we have been talking about the ongoing drought quite a bit recently, our rainfall deficit is something we have been monitoring since the end of summer last year. Let's look at the numbers for a handful of cities across the state and break down the pattern that caused this.

We finally have a good stretch of rainy days in the forecast! While the rain won't break our drought, it will certainly be beneficial. Let's look back at the last time we had this many rainy days in a row, and we'll look at how much rain we could see.

We have seen heat advisories and multiple days over 100° recently. This has been one of the hottest starts to summer on record. Let's look at just how hot it has been, and we'll see if this trend will continue long term.

Friday has finally brought some much-needed, steady rain to the region! Let's look at what systems are bringing this rain, where some of the highest rain totals have been over the past couple of days, and where we could see some of the most rain Friday through next week.

Highs will already be hotter this weekend, but this is just a taste of some the heat we'll experience over the next week. The heat risk could become extreme ahead of the 4th of July. Let's break down the pattern that will bring the heat and our forecast heat risk into next week.

With multiple flood alerts issued throughout the day Thursday, it's important that we use plenty of caution on the roads. Here are some things to remember before you drive!

Any time we get some beneficial rain, it is good to embrace the win but also put the rain into perspective. We still need a lot of rain to pull us out of the drought. Let's break down how much rain we have seen so far this month and how much we need to break the drought in a one month period.
