Rain, Rain and More Rain!

River and flash flooding are the latest weather-related problems
across the state.  Heavy rains fell on saturated soils Tuesday night
and Wednesday morning, which brought rising waters to many areas
that function best without water.

Here's a map of selected rainfall totals since this wet weekend began:


The greatest totals are located on an east-west axis north of I-40,
where several lines of convection have developed, redeveloped and
traveled in succession during the past few days.
