Spotty... At Best!

Hope you had a great holiday weekend! While most of us stayed dry, there were certainly some heavier rains around the area.

From 6:30pm-7:00pm Saturday evening, our NEWS7 WeatherBug rain gauge measured 1.08" of rain here at WDBJ. Over an inch of rain in 30 minutes! Meanwhile, just a couple miles away, our WeatherBug site at the Science Museum on Campbell Avenue only measured 0.06". Location, location location!

While Saturday evening's rain meant we didn't have to water the Weather Garden (by the way; it's looking - and tasting - great!), other folks in nearby neighborhoods got little to nothing. The same forecast should play out today on Memorial Day. With any luck rain won't alter your plans, but we sure need the moisture.

Have a great and safe Memorial Day! --Jay
