5/30 - 8:15pm - Can We Get Some Rain Please?

The answer is...YES!!! After a terrible dry spell over the last couple of weeks, I think the light at the end of the tunnel is coming. This ridge we have over us has been eating storms for breakfast over the last few days. According to the GFS, a trough coming this way has enough power to displace this ridge this weekend.

Sunday and Monday look like our potential days for rain. This recent run of the GFS for Sunday night is a sight for sore eyes:



There is still a chance that this system may not be strong enough to get us rain, but I think it will. The NAM (even though it doesn't go far enough out yet) shows this system approaching on Sunday night. It shows it weakening, but it indicates that there will still be moisture left when it gets close.

So hopefully this trough will have the advertised power to overcome our dry, polluted, and hot ridge we have in place. Until this weekend, expect highs to be just below 90. After this system goes through, we should get some relief temperature wise. At least for a little while...
