After a wet July, where we ran a precipitation surplus of +1.51", our August is the polar opposite!
So far in the month, we've received a measly 0.01" of rain! Our only day with measurable precipitation occurred on August 1st! Since then our water woes have worsened!
Today (August 12th) marks day number 11 without a drop of rain!
The average rain for this time of the month is 1.52", which puts us in quite the deficit!
The million-dollar question is, will this continue? The answer - NO! Look at the Climate Prediction Center's 6-10 day outlook, which clearly shows our region is expected to be above normal in the rainfall department through the next week or so!
