The front that moved through our area on Thursday and gave us some gorgeous weather gradually made its way back on Friday. It pulled in a lot of moist air, which brought showers and thunderstorms.
The main concern was that we’d be facing multiple rounds of slow-moving storms, which led to significant rainfall over the last few days.
