Snow and Rain Showers

Yes, that blue area I circled in pink is snow... keep in mind, this is our "Future Radar" but as temperatures drop as the sun has set, we'll see this start to happen in far western South Dakota and into North Dakota. Yesterday there were winter storm watches in effect, now there are only winter weather advisories just to the west of our viewing area. So now less snow is expected in the Dakotas as the threat for snow is now more off towards the Rocky Mountains.

So therefore our focus shifts more towards the rainfall we're expecting. We don't exactly need the rain, most areas are supposed to receive around 2 inches of rain for the entire month of October... many places have exceeded that, reached that point or are very close 2 inches of rain. JUST IN THE FIRST 3 DAYS OF OCTOBER! This is a look at how much rain folks in the southeast have seen:And now we're going to get even more... here's how much more rain we can expect to continue our wet start to the month:

Keep that umbrella handy!
