5:15AM: 53F, light rain.

The rain gods heard my pleas and it was good.

I woke to rain and looks like the rain gods have overruled the NWS this weekend. The front moved in quicker than predicted (IMO) to the central panhandle. Today was meant to be partly cloudy/sunny w/ a chance of showers.

It's now changed to steady-ish rain all weekend.

I realize my power is great. I only use it when I am desperate.
