Wet Stretch of Weather to Start the Week
UNDATED -- A prolonged rainfall event will begin Monday night and last into Wednesday afternoon.
The storm bringing us this rainfall will also send temperatures back closer to normal mid-week.
So far for the month of March, we've had 1.27 inches of precipitation, which is a little above normal.
Drought Monitor
However, the Drought Monitor has the entire state either at abnormally dry or in a moderate drought, so widespread rain would actually be a good thing.
