While 2009 has been rather dry thus far (click here for the latest drought monitor), two wet weather systems appear to be in our future for Good Friday and again early next week. 

While most severe weather will stay to our south Friday, rainfall of in excess of one inch is expected.  Another wet system will approach early next week.  Easter weekend, on the other hand, looks beautiful, if a bit cool.  Enjoy nature’s Easter flower display!
