Yesterday was the 70th anniversary of “The Wizard of Oz.”  Special screenings of the movie in high definition were shown and sold out across the country.  How appropriate that we had a rainbow yesterday!  With all the moisture in the atmosphere, showers and some sunshine there was a rainbow.

We could see more rainbows later today.  With all the moisture in place, some sunshine and the risk for showers and thunderstorms, you never know.  Carry your umbrella today in case you get under one of those shower or storms.  Otherwise it will be warm and humid!

If you check out our 7-day forecast, we have a chance for scattered showers and storms in the forecast just about each day.  This is because of a quasi-stationary front that will meander back and forth across the eastern seaboard through the week. 

The front will act as a focal point for scattered showers and thunderstorms.  It will also be on the humid side.  Just because there is a chance for showers and storms in the forecast doesn’t necessarily mean that the rain will fall at your house in particular.  It just means that somewhere in our viewing area there will be showers and thunderstorms.  Let’s hope the rain gets evenly distributed across our region throughout the week so our yards and gardens can all enjoy a bit of rain.
