Afternoon Showers And Thunderstorms For The Next Week (Or So)

5/17/23 Wednesday 7:30 am

There will be a chance of showers and thunderstorms every afternoon for the foreseeable future. This afternoon will be similar to the last couple of afternoons. Showers will pop up, especially over the higher terrain and mid-elevation areas. Tomorrow and Friday coverage will pick up, by Friday, and throughout the weekend chances increase for the entire forecast area (including the lower elevation areas). Accumulations will be significantly above normal for May.

Looking back over the years, there does not seem to be any correlation between a wet May and a wet or dry summer in our area.

Here are the precipitation forecasts for the next week. The models are not very consistent.
