Copious amounts of rain across the Mid South

[weathernms]

The Mid South has been stuck in a rainy pattern through the first 11 days of May, thus far.

Many areas from extreme Southeast Oklahoma and Northeast Texas into southern Arkansas, North Mississippi, North Alabama, South and Central Tennessee, and eastern Kentucky, have received widespread amounts of 6-10 plus inches of rain.

Houston feels your pain!!! April 28th was like your early May. I got 9" at my house and some areas got more. Overall for April, iirc, I had 15" of rain which is more than we had gotten in the whole time since Hurricane Ike rlled through our area. I hope your areas have started to dry out some. We actually could use a few showers now since we have had only a few spit and miss showers in most areas of Metro Houston since then, notable exceptions being the Northern counties of the CWA.

We actually saw sunshine today - but more rain is predicted for the next five days....but, it doesn't
look to be the flooding rains we've seen in the past few weeks, thank goodness! I hope the sun
manages to peep out, here and there.

I am glad to see, rain finally making into parts of Florida,

It has certainly been quite dry across state, pretty much the only state in the Southeast, that has seen very little.

It may be wet there over the next 6-10 days, according to the Climate Prediction Center.
