Relief from dry conditions is coming

A cold front from the Dakotas will lower temperatures slightly and bring much-needed rain for Thursday. Our best chance right now will be Thursday into Thursday night, and Friday night into Saturday. Forecast models are showing a decent amount of rainfall after these systems have pushed through.
