The Muscle Shoals Airport, the official weather reporting station for the Shoals Area, reported almost 2 inches of rain from Humberto, bringing our monthly total to over 3.5 inches, which is a bit above normal. We need every inch above normal we can get to help make up for the deficit of rainfall we’ve experienced. Our deficit for the year now stands at 13.35 inches, which is better than it was during the summer. It may be almost impossible to completely make up for the drought this year, but we do seem to have some momentum towards achieving at least part of that goal.

Once the remains of Humberto cleared, a cool front came in, bringing some cooler temperatures. Lows tonight are expected to reach 49 degrees. Looks like fall is here!
