The rocky weather appears to be taking a break with no thunderstorms predicted for late July through overnight July 24-25.

The drier weather may give the area’s rivers and smaller tributaries a chance to recede and the soil conditions to dry out a little.

Residents are still advised to stay away from waterways that are running very high and very fast and pose a serious danger.
