Dry summer in store?
Posted: 05 Jun 2012 05:48 AM
Our recent stretch of weather has been on the dry side for most in the
state. The month of May and spring season was below average as well
for most. Is a dry summer season in store for us this year? The
featured chart compares the spring season and May total precipitation
against the resulting summer season precipitation. Any year above the
blue line would have been above average for the combined period. The
red line shows this year's total for comparison with other years. The
good news is that our odds do not appear to be too small to get a wet
summer season by these two metrics. The bad news is that the near term
forecast is not that encouraging for heavy rainfall events.
