INCHING UP...

Temperatures will be inching up this week and so will the chance for rain. Last week temperatures stayed near and below normal in the region:

Now the temperatures are going to be running slightly above normal as we head into the new week. We'll have the 70s on the board on Monday:

Monday night into Tuesday there's a chance for some scattered showers and storms:

Temperatures will hang in the upper 70s to low 80s Tuesday afternoon:

It gets even warmer on Wednesday:

Temperatures remain in the 80s Thursday afternoon and then rain chances will be on the increase Friday into the weekend:

Hopefully we'll inch up in our rainfall totals to help with the dry and drought situation. It's not going to solve all of our problems but any bit of rain before the winter takes over will help!
