It has been wet

Posted: 29 Jun 2015 05:40 AM

The seemingly constant stream of daily scattered showers and thunderstorms has made for a very wet June after perhaps the wettest month on record for the US in May. The featured map looks at the longest period since 1 May that the location went without receiving at least 0.05 inches of rain over a given hour. The chart nicely shows the areas that have had difficulty with spring field work as these long stretches are necessary to make fields passable by heavy equipment. The forecast for this week continues the recent pattern of daily chances of rain.
