The risk is still to the upside depending on further increases in energy prices and the success of the long rains.

Chris Mwebesa

The rain probably dampened the spirits of those that decided not to come. But the people who were here didn't know it was raining because they were having so much fun.

Chris Messina

There was hardly any rain in November, but Mother Nature likes to have things in balance, so she's making up for lost time.

Steve Anderson

It is very possible that most of the rain could be north of Galveston Island, like in Houston and northward.

Josh Lichter

Even when no rain is falling, you can continue to get rises among small streams and creeks.

Kevin Durfee

Nick had a tough first inning on the mound, but after that he settled down and did a great job today. It's tough to win a game because of the rain but we'll take it.

Mark Riggin

It was wet; it was really wet. The rain wouldn't have been so bad, but it was a cold rain, so it was a little chilly. But it was fun. This is one of my favorite races even though I didn't run as fast as I wanted to.

Susie Bush

My family's OK. We got a lot of rain but fortunately we didn't get the worst of [the storm].

Russ Springer

Going into today I didn't know what to expect. With the rain, we had no games or practice. We made the routine plays and got a couple of clutch hits.

Dave Holt

It would likely mean substantially more rain (than two inches) if that happens.

Harry Woodworth

Haze doesn't just block the solar radiation. It is also infamous for acid rain and respiratory diseases.

Yun Qian

Criticism, like rain, should be gentle enough to nourish a man's growth without destroying his roots.

Frank A. Clark

I would have preferred the ground to be riding very fast, but I don't think it will be too much of an inconvenience if there is any more rain. I go there hopeful he can get into the places.

John Egan

Rain will hurt everyone equally. All the scores will go up.

Mark Ott

June and July we were looking at terrible crops, and then I think we benefited from hurricane rains and had a better crop than we thought, which dropped the prices.

Joe Alexander

It was pouring rain, like a monsoon. It was six inches of water, but I just hit it out.

Lindsey Haines

We had an all-day event planned and I'm sure that it will end up being an all-day event. It's just a matter of when the rain's gonna let us do it.

Michele Pearson

As long as there's no rain or snow Friday, Saturday or Sunday, we're fine.

Lori Worley

On the 18th (hole)...after the rain, the rough was a bit heavy and I hit it short by 10 feet and missed my par.

Mardan Mamat

It's a nice crop of apples out there. The apples are a little smaller because of the lack of rain, but maybe a little sweeter because of the warm dry weather.

Isaac Horst

It will probably be closed a minimum of two weeks. It appears a mine shaft is coming in on it and the rain coming this weekend won't help. We decided to post it for safety.

Greg Moody

The girls were trying to cross the bridge in heavy rain, but they lost their balance when the water hit them.

Inspector Prudence Mvelase

We're going to keep the drier weather for another couple of days. It won't be until Monday when the rain chances go up.

Tony Mainolfi

An athlete should push past all the elements in front of him/her. It's just another hurdle you have to jump over, it's just another obstacle you have to get past. Rain should not be a factor in any track meet.

Joshua Villoria

The conditions are perfect. The temperature in the air and ground is good for working. It's a real good situation. We like it dry until we get our planting done, and then it can rain.

John Mchugh

[Outside in the rain, paying punters appeared evenly divided between those there to see the bands and those who had simply come to say goodbye. Others were wary of making a distinction.] You can't separate Peel from the music, they are one and the same thing, ... The music was all that he was about. It was in his DNA.

David Burroughs

You get rain here, it washes out.

Derrick Williams

We've ordered small portable pumps to put out there temporarily to move the standing water to No Name Lake. We've been pumping since early June and our lakes are fine. We have capacity to handle a couple inches of rain.

City Manager Maryann Courson

I believe in running through the rain and crashing into the person you love and having your lips bleed on each other.

Billy Bob Thornton

After drying out for a day we headed back out to the rain and played. The rain was much heavier and colder on this night but we responded with a great effort. Due to our loss of key players, everyone responded with that much more effort to play well.

Greg Wall

This will be the most significant rain that Canterbury has seen in months and it is likely to bring very poor driving conditions and cause problems.

Bob Mcdavitt

The rain stopped right before the event.

Terrie Archer

If it doesn't rain pretty soon — and there's nothing I can see in the long-range forecast that we're going to get a whole lot of rain — then I think a lot of our people are going to be in dire straights.

Sam Knipp

Then we had rain and sleet all day.

Kipp Schreiner

It's a rain-or-shine event. We do have a backup day ? Sunday ? but that would be terribly hard to arrange with the talent and everything else.

Aaron Gibson

Until this rain stops and we get a lot of sun, it's going to take awhile.

Watson Okubo

The main thing is we haven't had any rain for the last week. The humidity has been low, too, so things have really been drying out out there.

Greg Hansen

We've been playing in New Bern for 35 years. It's a nice location, and, in the event of rain, we're still covered. The Farmer's Market has always been a favorite.

David Hicks

Any more rain that falls ... is going to cause some tremendous flooding problems.

Ted Ryan

We haven't had rain for three weeks and everything is dry so they should be very careful.

Bob Farrell

We had a lot of rain and a lot of luck. I am not pointing fingers at Massachusetts but the cards did not fall for them as they fell for us.

Gina Mccarthy

The rain keeps constantly raining,And the sky is cold and gray,And the wind in the trees keeps complainingThat summer has passed away; --.

William Wetmore Story

We've had just about everything -- snow, sleet, freezing rain, even a thunderstorm.

Bob Stalker

I'm just waiting for people to start asking me to make the rain disappear.

David Copperfield

We have two built in days for rain or if something happens. We really don't mind playing in rain, but a tornado might be a little too much.

Jack Hebner

Things have kind of quieted down. But it's going to rain (today), so we'll respond accordingly.

Mike Gotterba

The rain that will fall will be a bit on the light side because it doesn't have subtropical moisture associated with it, but we will see a drop in the snow level.

Stuart Seto

This is amazing. We had a meet at Winter Haven where the skies were black and it never rained, another meet where the rain held up, and now this one. It's a good omen.

Jen Gosline

This has got to be stopped, or what we are going to have very soon is irreversible damage to this wonderful rain forest.

Pablo Cruz

Reydell and Swan Lake look like they haven't fared so well. They haven't gotten any rain down there.

Steve Bays

It looks like rain or snow up in the Sierra through the week.

Don Noxon

It was supposed to rain so hard (Friday), but it got so nice. I was hoping it would rain (Saturday morning), then the sun would come out, and it would be nice.

Jess Yates

The rain made it difficult at times for the golfers. It made it difficult because you couldn't judge how hard to hit your ball.

Charlie Cox

Once we've had a certain amount of rain, as we've had this winter, things are just more prone to slide.

Gary Griggs

Our snow melting all at once, combined with rain, combined with moist conditions last fall, has caused the rivers to come up quickly.

Dave Kellenbenz

In the year of 1657 I discovered very small living creatures in rain water.

Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek

Every time it rains hard between December and March in Vineyard Valley there is anxiety.

Pat Dell

We need a good soaking rain for a couple of days to bring moisture to normal levels.

Monte Mitchell

There aren't going to be major storms, but we should get light rain from Sunday night through Wednesday.

Steve Anderson

We've had a lot of rain up at our place, so it's great to see some sunshine. Coming down here is like a vacation and playing baseball. It's two things that we love.

Jared Thompson

You always have something to eat in there. Plus, you need stuff like Advil, snacks, sunscreen, Band-Aids and rain gear.

John Finn

We were as prepared as we could be for the rainfall with the road barricades, having them ready. There's nothing we can do to hold the rain back, we just deal with it when it gets here.

Patrick Peterson

We were concerned about Venezuela, ... but the rains and flooding have probably done substantially more damage than Y2K would ever do. Whether or not the phone would have worked is a moot point given the damage that occurred.

Jim Duggan

One way to find your place is likethe rain, a million requestsfor lodging, one that wins, findsyour cheek: you find your home.

William Stafford

Snow, sleet, hail, ice, rain, floods. Did I say ice?

James Ellis

We are sucking out all the debris so in the next rain they can drain.

Doug Jones

The sad part about it is, they haven't fixed it right yet. It's still rough. And if it rains again, it's going to happen again.

Gary Hamilton

The rain changed many things. We decided to spread the play out wide but the rain hampered our intentions.

Dimitri Yachvili

It's still going to be hot, with scattered thunderstorms that won't produce much rain.

Dave Hennen

The worst thing is we end up cleaning it up and it rains the next day. We're getting good at that.

Clint Wheeler

Deere Run is a good golf course, but it seems like we've never been out of our rain gear when we're up there. It's always been cold and windy and rainy.

Grier Jones

Mandatory is in the back of our mind, we don't want to do it but we'll do everything we can to save our system. We'll have to make a decision whether we want green grass or water in our homes if we don't get some rain soon, I'm afraid that's what it boils down to.

Thomas Hudson

There is concern that there could be more lightning with the storms as they progress over the next couple of days. But hopefully we will have enough rain to bring some relief and some extinguishment to some of these major fires.

Graham Fountain

The rain forest has Sting. Now Siberia has Jack Dee. Someone had to draw the short straw. In this case it was the rain forest.

Jack Dee

Tomorrow we'll get bombed by some pretty good [rain and snow] showers.

Dave Salesky

We're sitting on top of what very well could be an economic disaster. A lot of praying for a good soaking rain is all that can be done.

Gene Hall

We are going to see an increase in our fire activity as we continue to see very little rain. Our drought index continues to increase and with low relative humidity and the daily shifting of winds any fire that does start will be a problem.

Chuck Johnston

Tomorrow, hopefully there's a lot of sun like today, and if that's the case we may be able to pull signs off Thursday or Friday, assuming we don't have any more rains.

Watson Okubo

Not only are we going to see a lot of rain, but some flooding is a possibility across Central Florida and there is a high-surf advisory across Florida.

Jerry Steffen

We are trying to get people to think it's not just the rain forest and endangered species. It is not just the physical environment.

Margaret Thomas

You will just see people in rain coats with umbrellas just having a good time.

Karen Spencer

The drop of rain maketh a hole in the stone, not by violence, but by oft falling.

Hugh Latimer

It brought rain. I thought it was never going to land.

George Perry

There's obviously going to be more rain in the bucket. But they're not going to be as formidable as the front that moved in today. Cumulatively, the next several days may get as much, but not in that short period of time.

Bob Benjamin

The parade is going to have to deal with rain and wind.

Rich Thompson

Energy costs for production and irrigation have increased immensely, ... And if we could get some rain this fall, it would really reduce irrigation costs.

Jose Pena

Every time it rains we get a real mess. It's very disheartening.

Fred Hill

When it didn't rain much, the track looked good, we went.

Doug O'neill

I guess it didn't rain hard enough soon enough.

Josh Rabe

I still have the car, and it only has 25,000 miles on it, ... I didn't drive it all the time, and I never took it out in the rain. I always had two cars.

Linda Lewis

You can't beat it. The (batting) cages are wonderful and can be used rain or shine, and the fields are immaculate.

Mario Garza

We are insisting and we will continue to insist that this faith of the church must continue to be upheld come rain, come fire. That is our position.

Peter Akinola

You can put on your rain gear, but you are still going to get wet. The sooner you get it done, the sooner you get to go home.

Lee Gardner

When we had all of that rain and everybody was all preoccupied with the Seahawks, those dynamics put a momentary constriction on the pipeline (for available homes).

Sam Pace

There was extreme wind, rain, loss of power, and then a couple of days later everything was normal. That's hurricane.

Jim Donovan

Fire conditions are getting worse every day that we have don't rain.

Ben Wolcott

It should come in after the crest in the southern areas, which is good news. If we get significant rain into the northern part of the basin, it could affect crest values.

Greg Gust

We played good defense today on a slow field. Surprisingly, the field was in good shape after the rain.

Jim Titus

There was great pride all year in how the kids played and behaved on and off the field, ... We will have playoffs this week and we are going to use Sunday as a rain date.

Billy Farrell

I've kicked hundreds of balls in the rain before, there's no excuse for it.

Nate Kaeding

With only being on the practice field twice due to the rain, today was an experience for us. The girls did fairly well. I'm happy with the way they played.

Vern Wilder

Down Came the Rain: My Journey Through Postpartum Depression.

Brooke Shields

There is no other place to put that storm water. And in absence of another place to put it, you're looking at road way and residential flooding during a rain event.

Craig Quintana

Never run in the rain with you're socks on.

Green Day

The water would rise in the road and along the ditch out front, not in our yards. And now we get flooding with as little as an inch of rain.

Fred Ball

It's frustrating to us because we have to see him like this. He's just stagnant now. It's like a bucket of water sitting there after the rain.

Kellie Boyd

It's gonna rain tomorrow, and the lawn care people are going to put fertilizer down next week.

Dale Johnson

Usually, it's not on a nice weather day in the middle of the day that the power goes out. It happens in the middle of the night in the snow or the rain, and we have to send a crew out to run the length of the line to find the problem.

Todd Burns

The lack of rain is definitely a factor. The lake is filling slowly.

Wendy Dennis

We wish the weather had cooperated a little. But, considering the rain, it went better than we thought it would.

Candace Gibson

That vapor is very hot and expands outward from the point of impact, cooling and expanding as it goes. As it cools the vapor condenses as little droplets and rains out over the whole Earth.

Lawrence Grossman

A lot of people ask me how much rain fell. Once they know I do it, they ask me because they want to know how much rain fell on their roof last night.

Steve Hoffman

More rain at the end of the week, but nothing on the scale of what we have seen.

John Hammond

It will be a long process, unless we get a storm coming through and some rain wetting down the area.

Chief Kim Forbes

We aren't going to cancel the [physical fitness assessment] just because of a little rain. It has to be inclement weather. We're going to be out there rain or shine, so everybody should be ready.

Juan Gomez

We are not behind, yet. It's not too late. This rain we are getting now should solve most of our problems.

Sandy Stewart

My best finishes this year have been rain delays. I'm just hoping that Mother Nature is a real ornery (woman) tonight.

Rich Beem

As long as the low pressure stays to the west, we'll see some rain in our area.

Tim Brice

It holds 2,000 gallons of water. A 2-inch rain will fill it.

Cliff Moses

After being inside because of all the rain, we are expecting kids to come out in droves for our egg hunt. We had 3,000 kids last year and are counting on more this year. We will hide 10,000 plastic eggs.

Chris Messina

My heart is in a world of water and crystal, My clothes are damp in this time of spring rains.

Du Fu

The weatherman said it would rain. We came prepared. It's fun, baby. This is our spot every year.

Joy King

Many a man curses the rain that falls upon his head, and knows not that it brings abundance to drive away the hunger.

Saint Basil

Thy fate is the common fate of all; Into each life some rain must fall.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

It's designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything is new again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains comes, it stops, and leaves you to face the fall alone.

A. Bartlett Giamatti

It's not a boarding-up kind of event, but stay inside. Don't go out and play tonight. There'll be lots of wind and lots of rain.

Krissy Williams

This year has been different. Much more rain than snow and in March the cold.

Rudy Cruz

It?s just hard to believe that a town of 7,500 can have that many people come through and have that much fun. We?ve had rain a couple of times, but the Biscuit goes on, no matter what.

Brandy Williams

If it rains, it's the place to be because half the fair is in a building, in doors. There are no lines. There's lots of everything for everybody everywhere you turn. There are seven free stages of entertainment.

Peter Cappucilli

We need all the rain we can get. We just don't want the bad weather that comes with it.

Beth Johnson

There is some way to go yet before we are out of the woods. We need more rain.

Alan Seay

Yesterday, we had a great rain storm for about 15 to 30 minutes, which helped matters a lot. However, today the rain is drying up and there is no more expected any time soon.

Alan Harris

The first music I bought when I was nine or 10 was pop music from the '50s and '60s, like The Everly Bros., Elvis, Del Shannon, The Flamingos, The Platters, whatever I could get my hands on. And then some musical things, like Camelot, Singing in the Rain and Hair.

Will Oldham

The main concern however is that the ground is pretty much saturated. So any additional rains will be precarious for potential mudslides.

Brooke Bingaman

There are needs right now that are critical when we approach a dry season, as we did this year. It's important that we do not let a little bit of rain distract us.

Lisa Jackson

We've had a lot of rain, but really no adverse winds. It's really winds out of the wrong direction or high winds that give us trouble.

John Duncan

Both storms are going to add up to quite an amount of rainfall, some of the heaviest rains we have seen so far this season.

Rick Canepa

We had a shower on July 4. That one rain made our crop.

Paul Roney

We're an outside event, so we just have to adjust, unless of course safety becomes an issue. We've moved a course or two and some vendors, but we're on rain or shine.

Frank Yohannan

We do not melt in the rain, we do not disappear - we live and die like normal people.

Grace Massah

It's definitely not uncommon to have dry Marches. The air is drier and more stable. The air masses are not conducive to developing clouds and, eventually, rain.

Robert Molleda

There's very, very little chance of rain. All our event models pay very close attention to safety.

Charlie Jones

Tears fall in my heart like the rain on the town.

Paul Verlaine

Lack of rains is the trigger but the underlying causes are complex and include Aids.

Clare Rudebeck

Midweek is always quiet, and in the pouring rain there wasn't too many people out. On any rainy day there's going to be fewer people doing any outdoor activity.

Shannon Mcsweeney

Even if it rains, it's not going to be enough to put any kind of dent in the (rainfall) deficit.

Tony Cristaldi

We are dry in the Plains, but the good thing is that these spring rains can bring up that total pretty rapidly.

Kyle Fredin

This (rain) will not put this fire out. But it is going to help. It is going to help a whole lot.

Fred Turck

Some of these people have been out there for a day or two, standing in the rain, and the weather and stuff.

William Harper

Most of the heavy rain impact has been in the Los Angeles area.

Jim Purpura

The more it rains, the more calls we get.

Andrew Benelli

This is just going to be a different year because of the rain. Now it's going to be a matter of keeping people healthy, having to play so many games each week.

Alane Burke

We still expect to get these storm systems coming through and dumping occasional heavy rains.

Jim Bagnall

The rains don't weaken as fast as the winds do. As far as the rains are concerned, they are going to extend over a large portion of the state.

Robert Molleda

That (the weather) helped everybody. It's so much nicer than freezing and having high winds and rain. It was a perfect day.

Sena Drawer

People are not going out golfing, so they're not paying their green fees, which is where the facility derives its revenue. It's a severe impact every day it rains.

Steve Schroeder

It was a hard day to judge any skill position with the wind and the rain.

Greg Schiano

It was pouring rain, but we still had 11 different scorers. That shows that we're pressing and not getting lazy. The hardest part is keeping them motivated because a lot of times, the girls know going into a game that they should win, 5-0. So we motivate them to not lower their potential. And every game, they come out mentally focused.

Chris Stricker

In the foothills, that's where the heaviest rain will be. Down here in the Valley we're not looking at any significant flooding to threaten homes.

Jim Bagnall

I'm pretty disappointed, along with the rest of the team. We had our chances and we just didn't make the most of them. We just didn't wrestle well today. Sometimes when it rains, it pours, and that's exactly what happened today.

Patrick Timm

We had a little bit of rain to come in. It helped for about two days. And now we're back to the way we were two days...you know, last week we were chasing fires, and all the fires been 100 acres plus. The same thing's happening now. It just takes a little spark, and the fire runs and it's hard to catch it.

James Wade

The rain stopped, rays of sun have begun to warm the country, but the danger continues.

Carlos Lopez

With no rain, it was like playing on concrete. We haven't had any injuries - this was a preventative measure.

John Chandler

It feels like the end of the world, fourth place does not cheer me up at all. I had hoped for calm weather, the rain did not disturb me but it was like a lottery because of the winds. I just didn't get lucky.

Tero Pitkamaki

The scouts just enjoy the outdoors, the weather doesn't matter, the rain doesn't matter, it's just fun for them to be here to enjoy one another's company, to be in a structured environment where they can have fun.

Dennis Shaver

We're very, very fortunate we didn't get any rain.

Jim Modig

This is only the second or third time that we've had less than one inch of rain at Lindbergh Field during December, January and February.

Philip Gonsalves

He won't run if there is more rain. There is no point sending him around on a wet track. He's hopeless in the soft.

David Atkins

Most studies on acid rain have looked at the soil from one to 10 years or less, ... where we couldn't reliably quantify the chemical changes in the soil exchange complex.

Daniel Markewitz

What they did in the rain, on a wet track today was phenomenal. I'm really happy with the team and how well we've done at a premier meet.

Bill Chambers

It's not going to be an all-day rain, but there will be a band of rain associated with the front. And then it's going to turn pretty cold.

Scott Kelly

The rain and cooler weather keep bees from working. We will not have a billion-pound crop this year.

Chester Andrew

Anytime you have rain, followed by standing water and movement in rodents you see an increase in leptospirosis — a liver disease often confused with yellow fever.

Leon Russell

This morning's scene is good and fine, Long rain has not harmed the land.

Du Fu

We are going to declare a local emergency. I'm not a forecaster, but they are telling me it is going to produce significant rain.

Ron Baldwin

It's just extremely dry. Unless we get some rain, I'm afraid there's going to be another long fire season here.

Warren Bielenberg

I'm happy to get that first win. It was really neat for the kids to experience that finally, after a rain delay and three days off between the end of spring training, and four or five days since we played a game.

Jack Lind

It's going to around for a good while and that heavy rain is going to really cause suffering.

Jerry Jarrell

If the rains expected in March do not come we could have a serious problem.

Connie Maina

We had good response to rain; that means the soils are saturated and primed.

Ron Abramovich

But tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun.

The Beatles

The South Bay and the Peninsula will be quite saturated with heavy rain.

John Farley

Weather affects everything we do. We have a live radar that monitors everything from rain to lightning.

Donnie Mefford

It's good that it rains. Rain brings life.

Jose Morales

It was the hardest golf course I had ever played, ... I never bent over and fixed a ball mark. There weren't any. It was brutal. Then we got rain and it just destroyed the course... but it made us feel a little bit at ease.

Fred Couples

As soon as we walked on the courts for warm-ups, it started to rain. It was just a very messed up day.

Ketevan Shmakova

It could be the weather or the combination of rain versus sun.

Cynthia Brown

We've had four-and-a-half inches of rain in that area since Sept. 15.

Gary Kemp

She just immediately created her own family in the village where she was. They fell in love with her. When she was struck by the shark and they got her into the canoe, she died very quickly. They carried her through the village in the rain and everyone was chanting.

Kristena Prater

We had very high winds and rain. There was lightning in the area. The ref was thinking about stopping the game. It was really, really hard to do anything. But we ran the ball very effectively.

Don Strock

They work rain or shine. It is just the greatest help to us.

Mary Abbott

No one's more surprised than me. Very surprised. I hadn't trained very hard this winter. It (the course) wasn't too bad. I was glad the wind and the rain held off.

David Chaney

It's been a slow-motion disaster. It's silent and invisible. People don't imagine this. It hasn't captured our imagination, like the rain forest.

Boris Worm

The hardest time this year was when we had all the rain.

Peter Sirois

When the heavy rain comes to Los Angeles, we will watch carefully for widespread urban flooding.

Todd Morris

I wish I could predict the weather, but if we don't get any rain around here, it definitely could be a long fire season.

Bill Mayer

I would not go to the extent of global desertification, because preventing rainfall in a particular region would leave the vapor in the air and that would eventually rain more elsewhere. So it is more likely that the increased pollution will cause more extreme weather, leading to more droughts in some places and more floods in others.

Daniel Rosenfeld

It will be more of a freezing-rain event than snow. We won't get the heavier snow accumulations like we just received.

Jerry Turner

The whole country got at least a bit of rain at some stage.

Chris Noble

I'm fairly confident that sometime during this weekend, we're going to see a little rain. Probably Sunday. I wouldn't count on a whole lot.

Nick Petro
