From Storm Team 5 Meteorologist Tom Mahoney:

Clouds came in on Friday and it almost looks like a "not-so-good" weekend weatherwise.  However, Sunday should be outstanding.  Saturday afternoon should be okay. So overall the weekend will be all right.  If I were a teacher giving it a grade I would say B-.  (A for Sunday and C for Saturday.)  

We received information from the National Weather Service about record rainfall in Appleton.  It was a wet one.

...RECORD BREAKING RAINFALL IN APPLETON FOR JULY...

JULY 2010 WILL GO DOWN IN THE RECORD BOOKS AS THE WETTEST JULY ON RECORD
AND THE WETTEST MONTH OF ALL TIME. THROUGH THE 30TH OF JULY...13.13

MONTH OF JULY WAS 8.21 INCHES SET IN 1994.

THE 13.13 INCHES OF RAINFALL FOR JULY ALSO BROKE THE WETTEST MONTH OF
ALL TIME. THE PREVIOUS RECORD WAS 10.30 INCHES SET BACK IN AUGUST OF
1995. RECORDS AT APPLETON DATE BACK TO 1901.

Sunday will be the day to get outdoors.  The weather will be dry but warm.  I wish I could say there was going to be a longer break between storms.  Unfortunately, the next round of storms should roll in late on Monday.  Temperatures will stay warm with very little change from day to day.  Highs will be in the 80s & lows in the 60s.
