Looking for Rain

A few sprinkles of rain fell across our area Sunday afternoon and again very early Monday morning, but the rain did not add up to much --

• Henderson-Oxford: 0.09"
• Chapel Hill: 0.05"
• Louisburg: 0.04"
• Raleigh-Durham: 0.04"
• Wilson: Trace

Our next chance for rain coming up Tuesday does look to bring us a little more rain. We should see between 0.25" and 0.5" across our area as a cold front crosses the state. The best chance for rain will come during the afternoon hours when a few thunderstorms will be possible. Locations south and east of Raleigh will stand a little better chance of hearing the thunder, and that's the area that may see slightly more rain.

The rain should taper off late Tuesday afternoon and evening. Then we look for a big cool down behind the front. Lows will drop into the low to mid 20s on Thursday morning, which should be the coldest of the week. We may even have some upper teens that morning!
