Tired of the rain? Well, it will be around Friday

Here comes the rain again.

Expect a few inches of rain Friday.

The Mahoning Valley was pelted with as much as 4 inches of rain Wednesday, particularly in the late afternoon and evening, causing flooding and power outages.

Rather than wait until later in the day, the thunderstorms could start as early as daybreak Friday, stop for a while, and return with full force by late afternoon and early evening, said Jim Kosarik, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.

Portions of Boardman, Youngstown, Austintown, Canfield, Poland, Salem and East Palestine were flooded Wednesday.

But only 0.87 of an inch of rain was recorded at the Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport in Vienna.

Many Valley residents spent today trying to clean up after Wednesday’s rain that caused flooding in their houses and on their streets.

They should be ready to do it again Friday.
