Storm No. 2 Coming In

Light rain fell in the area for part of the day. This was the weaker of the two storms forecast for this week. The second one is hitting tonight.

There's a Winter Weather Advisory (What?! It's autumn!) in effect for tonight and much of tomorrow for our area.

The National Weather Service posted this on their "front page":

Remnant moisture from what was once Tropical Storm Raymond will continue to produce heavy rainfall and the threat for flash flooding over the Desert Southwest into Thursday. Heavy snow will also be possible over parts of the Rockies, and will likely cause hazardous travel. Meanwhile, critical fire weather conditions continue across northern California into Thursday morning.

Maybe I'll wake up to a snowy yard tomorrow morning.

According to the National Weather Service for Jamestown:
