up in middletown with a tenth of an inch. 0.04 in greenwood lake. pleasant valley, 0.01, mark and jeannine. thank you for that information, guys. not too much rain out there. a picture i want to show you right here, the empire state building lit up in glorious green, all in honor of earth day. got to take care of mama earth. well, the empire state building, doing it's part to remind us all that's exactly what this day is. taking a peek outside right now, we've got light rain. it's close by to the city, not really falling outside right now. 71 degrees. the atmosphere has felt more juiced up than what you've had the last few days. it's been so bone dry out there, all of these fire risks and the brush fire starting up. not today. today things change. high temp of 79 degrees, 15 degrees above the average of what should be your high of 64. saturday is going to improve as you move along. you wake up saturday morning, there could be a little bit of rain still left over.

up as you push through saturday. so i think the afternoon tomorrow is better than the start. sunday looks great from top to bottom. then looks to be sort of an unsettled week next week with a rain chance every other day. kind of a typical spring-like pattern. we need the rain, because look at this. for the month of april so far, we're over 2 inches below where we should be. we've got to get rain around here. we just finished an eight-day stretch without a drop of rain. if we pick up rain through the overnight into the first half of your day tomorrow, you know, some folks pick up nothing. some get a tenth, maybe the biggest number would be around three quarters of an inch, if you get a heavier cell on top of you. right now, this is all very light rain, very spotty out there. some folks get it, some folks don't. wherever you see the bright yellow -- zoom in tight around redding, connecticut, you got a pretty decent, moderate downpour pushing through. another one to the south of ridgefield right now. they are spotty, but we'll keep the spotty shower chance in right through the overnight hours into tomorrow. it's going to take that long
