It’s been a while since we’ve seen much meaningful moisture across the state. According to State Climatologist Gary McManus, we just haven’t had many showers lately. “The dryness we saw over the summer has accelerated during September to go along with plenty of heat. You look over that last 30 days, which stretches into the second half of August, and you see lots of forlorn rain totals.”
McManus said these numbers will keep going up by the day, but rainfall could be a possibility, “Relief is on the way!” I keep telling you that, but the rainfall keeps getting pushed to the latter parts of the 7-day forecast, which makes it darned near the fantasy-cast territory. Now we’re looking at a dimmed rainfall forecast through the weekend, with our hopes switching to just after that period.”
