7/16 - 6:40pm - It's Dry... It's Hot!

This is not a good cycle we're in right now. We've seen just peanuts for rain over the past few days and we're starting to get into an heating trend. The less rain we have, the drier the ground. The drier the ground we get, the hotter it gets. The NAM shows scattered T-storms over the next four days. This means that some will get left out on needed precipitation unfortunately.

But don't feel left out if you don't get any rain this week, we'll all be back to square one next week with a renewed thrust of hot air. I think we could shoot into the mid 90's and even possible touch 100 with this. The GFS really pushes some isobars to the north on this pattern, which isn't good for our purposes.

Quick Tropics Update....

I just peeked at the Hurricane Center's discussions and there seems to be activity in the Carribean Sea and Atlantic. Even though there are no depressions or tropical storms, there are pockets of rotation and convection down there with some moderate thunderstorms. The elements are all there for a storm, so now we just sit and wait.
