Eyewitness Weather Forecast for May 9 — Sun for the weekend, Showers return next week…
HERE IS YOUR EYEWITNESS WEATHER FORECAST FOR FRIDAY, MAY 9 FROM CHIEF METEOROLOGIST JORDAN REED:
A storm system moving up the East Coast is bringing rain to parts of Central New York through tonight and into Saturday morning! Dry weather will slowly push east over the weekend, helping conditions improve across more of the state.
Temperatures will begin to climb a bit each day, feeling more like summer by Monday. The central part of the state remains cloudy and wet into Saturday; the west already has clearer skies and just a few clouds.
Looking ahead to Sunday and Monday, high pressure will keep things dry and start pulling in warmer, slightly more humid air from the south. But the calm weather won't last. By Tuesday, another system moves in with more rain, possibly sticking around through the rest of the week. Wednesday looks to be the rainiest day, and there's a chance of thunderstorms through Friday as a new front arrives. Temperatures will mostly stay in the 70s, but by late next week, parts of central New York could see highs topping 80 degrees.

Thunderstorms bringing rain, hail and winds up to 60 mph may be headed to Boise
Grab your umbrellas, Boise! Weather experts are forecasting wind, rain and hail this week. Les Colin, a Boise-based National Weather Service meteorologist, said there is a 20 to 30% chance of a thunderstorm hitting the Boise area Tuesday evening, with a nearly 60% chance of a larger storm hitting Wednesday. 'It looks like there are going to be thunderstorms that are going to form first in southeast Oregon, and the outflow from those storms could go all the way over to here,' Colin told the Idaho Statesman by phone on Tuesday morning. Colin expects the first storm to hit sometime after 5 p.m. Tuesday evening and last through 11 p.m. The Tuesday storm would most likely be dry, bringing high winds and blowing dust up to 60 mph, but no rain, according to the meteorologist. The National Weather Service predicts the Wednesday storm to be more significant, with rain, gusty winds and hail. Colin predicted that second storm would begin after 2 p.m. and last through sunset. Colin said if the thunderstorm's path moves in such a way as to directly hit Boise, it could bring up to half an inch of rain. However, Colin said a direct hit is unlikely, and Boise is expected to see measurements closer to 0.1 to 0.2 inches of rain. Experts at the National Weather Service are weighing whether to issue a flash flood warning for Wednesday. The biggest areas of concern are places where recent wildfires left a burn scar. National Weather Service meteorologist Spencer Tangen said the burn scars left by the Wapiti Fire near Grandjean and Stanley are of particular concern. He warned people planning to camp or drive near those areas to be aware of the risks from debris flow. Hot wildfires can cause soil to become hydrophobic, meaning the soil can't absorb water anymore, Tangen explained. 'Basically, water just kind of runs off the soil and will wash out a thin layer of dirt that's developed on top of that burned hydrophobic layer,' Tangen said by phone. 'That makes it so that you can get debris flows and flash flooding much easier, because the ground can't absorb the water.' The National Weather Service said a trough — an elongated area of relatively low atmospheric pressure — coming in off the Pacific Ocean is causing this stormy weather to begin forming in Oregon. After Wednesday, it's sunny skies and above-average temperatures ahead for the Treasure Valley. 'The rest of the week, it should be dry and pretty hot, actually,' Colin said. 'It will continue to be about 5 to 10 degrees hotter than normal, which would put it close to 90 degrees for highs, similar to what you would expect in the first week or so of July.'

Warmer and brighter looking day tomorrow
The Latest from Storm Team 5… Clouds have held steady out there this afternoon, but I am expecting some late day rays of sunshine as clouds are starting to depart. For tonight, expect mostly clear skies with temperatures falling into the upper 50s and low 60s. A weak trough passing through Lake Superior might bring a passing shower late in the overnight up north. Great viewing conditions for the Full Strawberry Moon tonight. We will begin Wednesday with sunshine, however clouds roll in from the west during the afternoon. Highs will reach the upper 70s and low 80s. That weak trough may kick some early gusts to 30mph. A batch of wildfire smoke will move in for the afternoon as well. Current forecast calls for us to stay in the moderate category, but the WI DNR is monitoring for a possible upgrade and issuance of an advisory. Scattered showers arrive overnight Wednesday into Thursday along a stationary boundary setting up to our south. The focus of the rain for Thursday will be areas south of Oshkosh, with most staying dry. Highs Thursday will reach the low 70s. This boundary will move north overnight Thursday into Friday. I am expecting Friday to be our best chance to see rain this week, and its looking at being a washout as well. Highs will fall into the mid 60s. Flag Day on Saturday looks cool and dry, with warmer and more seasonal temperatures for Fathers Day. For all your latest updates on the weather, follow Ryan on Facebook, X and Instagram.

How the recent rainfall is impacting crops
WACO, Texas (FOX 44) — While many Central Texans may prefer clear skies and sunshine, the recent stretch of rainfall is being welcomed by farmers across the region. After a prolonged period of heat, steady rain has helped replenish soil moisture and revive pastures that had been without adequate water for months. 'We were so dry June to about the 1st of April this year, where we were really, really behind,' said Shane McLellan, an extension agent for agriculture in McLennan County. 'We were about half of what our normal rainfall is for that same time period, and now we're past that. We're catching up on some missed rain.' According to McLellan, the timing of the recent rainfall has also worked in farmers' favor. 'It's coming at a time of year when it's probably the least destructive—excessive rainfall anyway,' he said. For retired farmer and rancher Michael Moon, monitoring rainfall is still part of his daily routine. Moon uses a digital mapping tool to track precipitation across seven different farms and pastures. 'It gives me up-to-date and real-time information on the amount of rain we're getting at each farm.' Moon said the rain has been mostly beneficial, with only minor concerns about standing water in low-lying areas. 'The only thing that I can see that it might hurt is some low ground that might stand water,' Moon said. 'But for the most part, it's going to be very good.' While this rainfall may cause short-term inconvenience for some, it's proving to be a much-needed resource for farmers hoping to rebound from last year's dry spell and prepare for a stronger growing season.
