Rita A Welcome Visitor Here.

For some reason Blogger wouldn't accept images this morning, which is disappointing. (I think you're really going to like this picture. Hopefully tomorrow.)
But for us Rita's remnants have not been a disappointment. Here at Channel 3 we have picked up nearly one inch of rain since midnight. So this for the most part has been a gentle, soaking rain for the Tennessee Valley. And we really needed it. But how lucky we are once again. We ended up with a nice rain, no severe weather or flooding, and it all waited until the many weekend events were over. Quite a deal.
Another front promises some scattered showers and storms on Thursday. Until then we dry out from this afternoon through Wednesday.
This front will pack some cool air for us. Nothing drastic, but cool enough to let you know it's Fall and quite a switch from the hot dry weather of last week.
If we haven't turned the corner to truly Autumn-like conditions, at least the blinker is on.
