Tuesday, April 28th, 2009: 8pm


This is not a joke...there is a chance of rain for the next week!

The chance of rain showers will be smallest over the next 36 hours, before a better rain chance comes in for Thursday late afternoon. Friday night looks like it could hold some severe storms, as the SPC has put us in a 30% chance of severe weather. The setup is similar to many that I have seen in the past, and if it plays out, we will see some crazy weather Friday afternoon/night.

In case my south-central Indiana readers haven't picked up on it yet, the labels of the days represent popular Derby Festival events: The Great Steamboat race, the Pegasus Parade, and of course Oaks and Derby. I just know that some people further north of Louisville may not be so familiar with these events.

Anyway, Derby looks dry in the afternoon, but there may be lingering showers in the morning. Right now, I would really have to say that we will not see rain after sunrise on Derby.

There will be a chance of isolated showers on Sunday, before a better chance on Monday. We may finally start to dry out by Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.

As a final point, it should be noted that we COULD see 2-3 inches of rain over the next week...stay tuned...
