Weekend forecast: More heavy rain appears likely

Jared Smith / August 22, 2025 at 8:46 PM

After record-breaking rainfall on Friday, more heavy rain appears likely for Saturday and to a lesser extent on Sunday as waves of low pressure along a stalled front continue to traverse the area, which has been well-moistened by an influx of tropical air.

First measurable rain since mid-September at the airport today

Our stretch of very dry weather comes to an end.

For the first time since September 14, the airport has recorded measurable rainfall. (Traces of rain were recorded September 15, September 30, October 5, and October 6.) As of this writing, a whole one-hundredth of an inch has been recorded at the airport today. (Hey, it’s something.)
