Lets get a check of our weather. We got something in the forecast the next couple of days, and we did not see much of it in february. Rain. Widespread rain, and today is the day youre really going to notice it. If youve got plans to be on the road at all, in fact its already started raining now. Its really through the heart of today, where were going to see some of the best rain that come through in a widespread way. Weve got afternoon shower that will stay with us on sunday. Both days this week and we will have to factor in the rain. Lets start off with a look at where it is raining now. That is a pretty goodlooking, well organized bands of green set up across the screen.
