Rain should continue to drizzle in Hamilton County today, then couple with colder temperatures.

With rain starting Monday, 1.57 inches had fallen in the area by about 5 p.m. Tuesday, according to Doug Schneider, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Morristown, Tenn.

About an inch of rain is expected to fall between Tuesday and today, according to Derek Eisentrout, another meteorologist with the National Weather Service.

So far this year, Chattanooga has received 58.49 inches of rainfall, or 10.02 inches above normal, Eisentrout said.

WRCB-TV Channel 3 meteorologist Paul Barys said that once the current rain stops it’ll be Tuesday before any precipitation is in the forecast.
