We Need Some Rain

The Thursday afternoon video is on the server:

We need rain, but it sure looks dry here for the next two weeks.

Tomorrow the heat begins to back off a bit, with highs in the mid 80s, as the upper ridge begins to flatten a bit and the heights are a little lower.

Over the weekend the long awaited cold front will pass through sometime early Sunday morning, and we will have a band of showers with the front Saturday night. With each model run, the amount of rain expected here looks smaller and smaller. We are down to about a quarter of an inch from about 7:00 p.m. Saturday through 6:00 a.m. Sunday. I am not even sure there will be much thunder and lightning.

We will get a break from the heat and humidity Sunday and Monday; we are forecasting low 50s early Monday, and some spots might reach the upper 40s. We won't have many more of those mornings until fall.

THE LONG RANGE: I still don't see any real evidence of any big rain event here for the next 15 days or so. There are signs that temperatures might be below normal for the last two weeks of May, but unfortunately I just don't see any big rain event at this time. Hopefully this will change.

Going into the summer with hardly any soil moisture could mean some very hot weather by the time we get to July and August... I will write more about this on a post late tonight.

Thanks to the 3rd graders at Cherokee Bend Elementary today... another great audience!
