Two inches of rain is expected in the next 18hrs. Not much by some standards, but a steady long downpour the likes of which has not been seen for several years in an area that has had a total of 2.7" of rain so far in 2007.

It has already built to a moderately heavy level since this morning very light scattered sprinkles and there are forecast thunderstorms levels and activity approaching soon.

The last time I rode my commute in rain was March 22nd. (I've done weekends and errands in rain since then)
