IMG_2673After large amounts of rain last week resulted in flooding and an eventual disaster proclamation, many are worried about any rain in the forecast.

Fortunately, experts say they don’t expect the storms to repeat themselves.

“We’re not expecting a high end event like we saw last week anytime soon.  The weather pattern is showing signs of changing and is not as conducive to the kind of repeat rainfall that we saw.”

That’s National Weather Service Hydrologist Jeff Zogg who says additionally, this is actually a good time of year for it to rain.

“The good news is we’re moving into the time of year where soil moisture values typically recover pretty rapidly, just with all of the agricultural activities going on.  The agricultural crops, so to speak, typically require a lot of moisture on any given week.  So if there’s a time of year to want to dry out the soil, this is the time of year to do it, moving to July when that soil moisture will be depleted at a rather rapid rate compared to other times of the year.”

There is the chance of rain tonight and into Saturday.
