With the deep tropical moisture in place, thunderstorms will have ample juice to help put down a lot of rain. This has been covered extensively in recent days. No, it&#8217;s not constant rain and it may not rain every day where you live. But, when storms do go up, they&#8217;re gonna put it down.<\/p>\n<p>Later this weekend into early next week, the pattern is likely to throw a deeper trough into the eastern part of the country.
