Rain made a visit

When stepping outside Sunday morning there was no doubt the temperature was at its lowest of the season, even though winter has yet to arrive. Our unofficial -6 degrees in Newport didn’t quite match the unofficial -8 that Channel 9 had listed for Newport.

With rain showing up on Monday and Tuesday, the temperatures also shot up into the high 40s and low 50s before a cold snap is expected to return.

Snow on the ground and rooftops took a hit Monday with .88 inches of rain falling. Lawns started to resurface in some areas.

By Wednesday morning the temperature had cooled down a bit, dropping to 26.
