Chances of Rain throughout the State, but no Drought-Busting Rain in Sight
Tue, 11 Oct 2022 10:40:29 CDT
Looking at the last 7 days we have seen some precipitation across the state, but State Climatologist Gary McManus says we still aren’t seeing any drought-relief. McManus says its more like “Drought delaying” relief at most.
He says.”We need a whole lot more. Even for the last 30 days, that was still just a blip in our secondary rainy season where we should be seeing a statewide average of about 3.5″ or so. And that period is still the second driest in the last 100 years.”
McManus says we will see a few chances of rain throughout the day and tomorrow, then over the weekend, but said not to expect much accumulation, We’ll be dealing with another of those closed low situations (and we all know just how painful that can be) in the Desert Southwest. At least I think it looks like a closed low in the forecast models as it wanders around. Whenever it decides to meander over this way, it might bring some rain to the area later on, but still not sure about that one.”
We also have to be prepared for fire danger, “Now with the dead vegetation hanging around due to the drought and our elongated summer weather, anytime one of these fronts moves into the area the winds will kick up and we’ll see elevated fire danger. Not into the extreme territory just yet, but we’re just getting started.”
If you have been wanting colder air, McManus says that is on the way, “There should be some actual COLD air coming our way next week with a large area of winter plunging into the eastern half of the U.S. bulges its way towards us, even as that upper-low across the Desert SW allows for some rain in our western areas.”
