Computer models have been at odds for our rain chances Friday. As of the 6:00pm newscast we are still going with a 40% chance. Hopefully the later model runs will be better tonight…update at 10:00pm. If we do see storms, we are hatched in for a slight severe weather threat, but it looks like the worst of the weather will stay well to our north. Stay up-to-date with us for the latest, or you can check out the latest severe weather situation at the Storm Prediction Center.

We desperately need the rain as our drought status has worsened from a “severe†to an “extreme†drought. Hopefully we’ll have better opportunities for rain chances in the future. After tomorrow, we should have a shot at some rain by mid-next week. Unfortunately, anything we see tomorrow should be in the ¼†range or less…enough to settle the dust, but remember we are roughly 2-3 feet behind in our rains going back to last spring.

The outlooks for the rest of the spring look discouraging per the Climate Prediction Center, but the latter part of the summer looks a little better…more on that in a future posting.
