Spokane is about to set a new rainfall record and light rain was still falling late this afternoon.

A total of 0.95 inches of rain was recorded at Spokane International Airport through 4 p.m. today, just shy of the record of .84 inches set in 1898.

The soaking rain is coming from a reinvigorated storm system that developed over the Inland Northwest today, spreading ample moisture throughout the region. Mike Prager, SR. Read more.

I like the rain! I've been out in it all day and I'm drenched. All I need is a fireplace and I'd be steaming.
How about you? Like the rain or loathe it?
