In the past 48 hours, Taylor County received around 1.45 ” of Rain that came without much of a punch. A little thunder and brief bouts of heavy Rain Showers. For the month so far, we have received around 4.00 “, and for the year around 44.00 “. Well above normal. I’m hoping this Heat Wave next week doesn’t hang around too long. Not a fan of paying a high cooling bill.
