Looks like not nearly as much precipitation fell on Thursday as was forecast two days ahead of time. This is not unusal. Precipitation amounts are one of the most difficult parameters to forecast. The computer models that meteorologists rely on to predict weather often overdo rain fall. This is why forecasters are often reluctant to forecast precipitation amounts more than one day ahead of time.
