April showers, people, April showers. Today's weather situation is pretty much a replay of last Friday. A low pressure system is moving up the Ohio Valley, spreading its moisture shield over much of the northeast.

Because of the old "April showers bring May flowers" line, April has a reputation for being a rainy month. That may be true where that rhyme originated, but April is only the fifth rainiest month in New York. This April has seen less than half its normal rainfall and no precipitation in the last two weeks. That dry spell is about to end, possibly as soon as late tonight. Before then, this afternoon should remain mostly sunny with a high within a couple degrees of 70.

Today's weather word is rain. The chance of rain will start increasing in the mid-afternoon. The city should see a steady rain beginning this evening and lasting until tomorrow morning. Up to an inch of rain is possible.
