First rain in 2 weeks with more on the way this weekend

 

Finally! We saw rain in southeast Wisconsin Thursday night into Friday morning for the first time in two weeks and our biggest rain in three weeks! A few northwest counties saw the rain as early as 11 PM Thursday night but Milwaukee didn't get any rainfall until after midnight making Thursday our 14th dry day in a row! That is the longest dry streak of the year and the longest since a 17 day stretch from the end of May into the beginning of June last year. 

The rainfall Thursday night wasn't big but at least we got something with 0.10-0.30" of rain falling across most of southeast Wisconsin.

Most of us would a little more rain and we will get it as we head into the weekend. Autumn begins on Sunday with the fall equinox happening at 7:43 AM on September 22nd. 

The start to fall will be a little wet with scattered showers and some downpours expected from the morning through the afternoon. The exact timing of the rain is a bit in question but expect at least something throughout the day and maybe even as early as Saturday evening.

The rainfall Sunday with some lingering into Monday will be a bit more of a soaker as most of southeast Wisconsin will see around a half inch with some isolated communities getting as much as an inch or more.
