Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

The misty morning should give way to a nice day with a high temperature of 81 today, but clouds are supposed to hang around for much of the day and evening hours.

Farmville received 2.2 inches of rain yesterday as a result of rain for much of the afternoon and into the evening hours. After the spotty drizzle goes away this morning, there is a slight chance of showers around 1 p.m. but should just remain cloudy for the most part.

The monthly weather stats for August from Robert Francis at WFLO came in Monday. The area has a rain surplus of 3.14 inches for the year to date after receiving a total of 5.58 inches of rainfall in August. That is wetter than a typical August which averages 4.07 inches of rain.
