You haven't been around long enough. I always cheer for large rainfall totals. If its going to be rainy then lets run up the totals and make a difference!
Regarding the bolded, the blocking HP's in the Spring time that deliver easterly Flow off the cold lakes....oh ya, I definitely remember how that can be dreadful. Meantime, enjoy the warm weekend and I'm pretty certain you'll do good...or...will @OttumwaSnomow steal your storms??? My gut says your both going to end up doing well.
