The next chance of showers is Thursday. Although it is the home opener for the Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field, we’re not expecting severe weather or anything significant. However, we’ll keep an eye on that rain chance because it’ll be along a reinforcing cold front that will be making its way through the area.
It’s still four days away, and the forecast timing may change a bit, so stay tuned if you are headed to the game or any outdoor events that evening.

You may recall the extreme drought that gripped our region last fall. So far, we only have a few abnormally dry areas as we approach fall. Some steady rain would be helpful to prevent widespread drought conditions from developing. Since June 1, we have only received 8.54 inches of rain, which is 4.04 inches below our average of 12.58.
