That rain will pretty much be ongoing for all of the day on Thursday and may be moderate to heavy at times. For this reason, the Mets home opener has been postponed to Friday.

Unlike the last rainstorm, flooding is not a major concern this time. Forecasted rain totals are between 1-2 inches, with the highest amounts likely to fall south and east of the city where the sandy soil drains much more efficiently.

These rainfall amounts may push us into the fourth spot for wettest March ever. We are currently in sixth place.

Once the rain clears out late on Thursday night, sunshine will return for the daylight hours of Friday, making for a bright, albeit windy day.
