Discussing rainfall over the past several days, the first graphic is total rainfall that fell from 7 am Sunday through 7 am Monday.  Many locations received a good soaking with 0.75 – 2 inches, with some areas over 2 inches.  The exception was east of I-65 and south of I-85 where 0.5 inch or less was reported.

Rain moved into the western sections last evening and will continue across much of the state today, with most of the precipitation ending by late tonight.   Total amounts will generally be 0.5-1.5 inches near and north of I-20 with 0.5 inch or less south of I-20. No additional rainfall is forecast from Thursday afternoon through at least next Tuesday

Widespread wind gusts from 15-25 mph will occur today through Thursday evening.  A few wind gusts through 10 pm today could reach 30 mph at times.  This could down tree branches and weaken trees.

Except near the coast, widespread frost will occur both Friday and Saturday mornings with low temperatures in the middle to upper 30s each morning.  Those with frost sensitive plants should bring them inside.
