With the rain chance quickly fading as this evening wears on, we'll be wrapping up the month of August - and climatological summer - on a dry note. Let's take a look back at the months of the summer, because the first two contrasted strongly with the last one.
A trace or more of rainfall (the green squares) fell on all but six days in the month of June at RFD. In total, we picked up 6.27" of rain. July was a real soaker with well over seven inches of rain on the month. The good thing is that we had more dry days... however, that also means that when it did rain, it usually came down at a pretty good clip. And then we hit August. Talk about dry! We're going to end up with about an inch and a half less in the rain bucket than what we should have. RFD even had a stretch of seven days without so much as a drop of rain.
Today's rain helped, but I'm sure quite a few people were hoping for some more. Unfortunately, a big ridge of high pressure will be in complete control, bringing us dry and warm weather for the next six days. Our next chance of rain isn't until next Wednesday.
