Ohh Nooo!...Mr. Bill

Not too many times do we see a tropical system or the remnants of one come to town. But when we do, it can be interesting. The most famous tropical system that came through here, in my opinion, was Ike. Not much rain, but a combination of its remnants and other atmospheric voodoo created a sustained wind event that reached hurricane strength at times. I still recall seeing huge limbs just fall out of trees while the sun was shining brightly. Very strange indeed.

Bill's remnants look to be a traditional soaker for us. While NWS offices may be calling for averages of 1-3", look for higher amounts in those bands that just seem to keep coming. You'll know the expression "when it rains, it pours", because these systems can put down an inch in 15-20 minutes easily.

Be safe out there. Turn around and don't drown.
