Narcissus by Pabo76 on Flickr 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.......

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. That won't be the end of the rain either. There is a good chance of showers and thunderstorms Saturday afternoon. Saturday's high may push close to 70. More rain is possible tomorrow night as well as Sunday......
