So that means all the extra watering you have been doing to keep your lawn nice and green will soon be replaced with watering from Mother Nature. The rain will first begin this weekend and then it looks like more rain will be in the forecast later this month.
The majority of the rain looks to be in September. It looks like after the first week of school, chances are you will have to make sure your kids have umbrellas when at the bus stop as the rain looks like it will be around for weeks 2 through 4 in September.
