Okay- lemmie get this forcast straight. On the main page for this Zip- they are reporting "Possible hurricane" Cool.

During the day: a 40% chance of 6 hours worth of thunderstorms that will drop only 1.2 inches of rainfall.

Durnign the night: a 29% chance of thunderstorms, but no predicted rain, and it's relaly not worth puttign up how long these non existant storms coudl last.

Talk about your CMA BS....
