Once again missed out on much needed rain. I think my little area got a whole 5 drops of it. We are really in need of moisture now and it’s only looking to get worse. At least for the short term. Here comes the heat due to a very strong high pressure ridge that isn’t going to be moving much and a Jet Stream curving way, way up to the north of us, leaving us smack dab tucked in under that ridge. Look for some temperatures nudging 90, definitely 80s, but don’t be looking for much in the way of needed rain around here ’cause it just isn’t in the cards as of right now. I’m loving the warmth, but longing for some rain to mix in there someplace. I think we’re going to appreciate a nice long rain-if and when we get one. Anyone know how to do a really effective rain dance?
