After weeks of virtually no rain (about 1.5 inches in August total), Tropical Storm Lee has sent enough rain to whet just about any thirst along with temperatures down some 30 degrees from Saturday to Monday.

The National Weather Service's Nashville office shows rainfall for Williamson County from Sept. 3-6 at 4.07 to 5.3 inches.

Public health officials said the sample did not affect the water supply but said further testing was being done as a precaution.

"The drinking water supply in Massachusetts is unaffected by this short-term, slight elevation in radiation," Public Health Commissioner John Auerbach said on Sunday, according to the Boston Herald. "However, we will carefully monitor the drinking water as we exercise an abundance of caution."
