Mostly cloudy with showers and thunderstorms likely throughout much of the day.

Sound familiar?

Once again, local residents experienced more rain Monday, adding to the April record of 11.32 inches set over the weekend, according to the National Weather Service.

The previous April record of 9.77 inches was set in 1998, and there are still five days remaining this month.

So far, this month has been the fifth-wettest in history and the area could break the all-time record of 13.86 set in January 1937, according to meteorologist Julie Reed.

Totals could approach 14 inches, Reed said, as heavy rains Tuesday night into Wednesday move in.

"It could be pretty volatile throughout the area into Wednesday evening," Reed said.

The region has been stuck along a warm, frontal boundary, dumping rain and causing rivers, creeks and streams to break their banks, Reed said.

"People need to be weary that soils are very saturated," Reed said. "It won't take much rain for flooding."

Gail Lierer, president of the Butler County Farm Bureau, is well aware of the waterlogged ground.

"The ground is very saturated and even the cattle are affected by it," Lierer said. "They can't graze like they should and they're sinking in the mud."

With each passing day, local farmers cannot plant their crops and are subsequently are losing money.

Even fields with sophisticated drainage systems cannot handle the amount of water, Lierer said.

"Every day we're out of the field, it's taking our production down," Lierer said. "If it would stop raining today, it would probably a good two weeks before we can get out there (and start planting)," Lierer said.

Showers and thunderstorms roll into the area today after 2 p.m. and will hang around throughout the day. Rainfall totals by tonight could reach up to an inch, according to the NWS.

It'll be a muggy 75 degrees for a high temperature.

The rainy weather pattern will likely continue through Wednesday night.

The heaviest rain and greatest possibility for severe weather will be on Wednesday, with wind gusts approaching 30 to 35 mph, according to Reed.

The only problem area over the weekend for Hamilton city crews was along Zimmerman Avenue, where high water signs were put out to caution motorists, said Craig Koger, acting superintendent for streets and sewers.
