The last time we had several days of rain was at the beginning of June.

This week, we’re going to have rain on and off throughout the day on Tuesday and Wednesday. On Thursday, we’ll see strong and fast-moving thunderstorms.

It will also be windy Thursday. If you’ve already put up some Halloween or fall decorations, you should make sure to secure them, so they aren’t blown away.

Since we’ll be having several days of rain, KRPC 2′s Meteorologist Caroline Brown also said people should give themselves some extra time to get to work. You don’t want to be in a rush and arrive at an area with high water.

Here is some additional information from the National Weather Service to help you stay safe in case of flooding.

  • Don’t drive around the barriers that are blocking a flooded road.
  • When you see a flooded area, it can be hard to see how deep it is. Always remember -- turn around don’t drown.
