Frequent Rain and Showers Today

November 17th, 2009 at 5:03 am by Pamela Gardner under Weather

The areas that didn’t see rain yesterday, will today. Minor flooding and “ponding” in low-lying areas will be a result of the heavier rain showers mixed into the light rain.

The same area of low pressure inched closer to us overnight and is creating more widespread, steady rain this morning.  Here is what Futurecast is predicting for 8am this morning:

futurecast

Thunder showers, rain, clouds, and chilly. Wind from the east at 15mph gusting up to 25mph with a high of 52. Tonight, scattered showers, cool and breezy. Low of 41 with wind from the southeast at 10mph.

Futurecast has steady rain continuing through 5pm today.

futurecast2

Tomorrow, scattered showers, mostly cloudy, and chilly. High of 50 with wind from the southeast at 10mph.

Thursday the rain will become more widely scattered. We will be dry in time for Friday and through the weekend; highs stay in the 50s.

Wet Weather Begins

There will be a lot of rain moving through to begin this week. Cooler temperatures, showers, and cloudy skies will stay with us thanks to a low pressure system that will move slowly through the Wabash Valley through Thursday.

This morning begins soggy with scattered showers and most of the rain to the north and west of Terre Haute:
