Virga

* Our radar's bark is definitely worse than its' bite today. We are seeing a large swath of returns, but most of it is virga. Virga is rain or snow that falls, but evaporates before reaching the ground. That is what we are seeing out there today.

* A few clouds hang around early tomorrow before clearing out. Still cool for tomorrow and Friday.

* Warmup begins this weekend, as a ridge of high pressure builds in. This will warm us into the upper 60's and lower 70's. Our next chance of rain comes early next week...

hi Josh this is Scott thats neat how it rains some times and you can not even tell i know why because the air is to dry i think i has someting to do with dew points have to be in the 50s or 60s to moisen up the air before you can see rain fall
