It continues to look dry

The Hydrometeorological Prediction Center's 5-day rainfall projection map shows something that shouldn't really surprise us too much: A hole in heavier rainfall totals right over southern Virginia. There doesn't look to be much in the way of storm systems that can really get a strong flow of Gulf moisture into our region the next several days. Some parts of the Ohio Valley may get some heavy rain with a system the next couple of days, but the bulk of that energy will pass well north of us. It looks likely that overall dry conditions will continue in our area for some time to come, with no clear pattern of increased rainfall on the horizon.

That is certainly not welcome news as I attempt to grow a yard this year. I'm hopeful for some rainfall, but I also saw the Farmer's Almanac calling for hot and dry this summer too, so I may have to deal with a quarter acre dust bowl for the summer.
