Just like March, April is setting up to be a warmer-than-normal month with frequent slogs of showery weather.
We are calling for 4 to 5 inches of rain in April, which significantly exceeds the normal 3.55 inches. We may pick up half of that in the month’s first week.

The 4.89 inches of rain was 1.39 inches wetter than normal and the wettest since 1998.
