Yes, despite all of the rain we had in April, we are presently undergoing a shortage of water. Not quite a drought, but some of us are in an 'abnormally dry' condition at present.
However, indicators are showing up that several episodes of downpours are on the table over the next week.
We start with today. Dewpoint reading at my house as of 2pm was 70 degrees. That's uncomfortable. However, am seeing a lot more clouds. Lots of cumulus clouds are popping up on visible satellite images during the heat of the day. And these are yielding small showers across Kentucky with lightning down around Campbellsville.
More concentrated storms are located across southern Indiana in the vicinity of a front.
With decent instability and lack of capping that we've seen for the past couple of days, some us will get some needed relief albeit temporarily, but the lawn will thank you. And my garden will like it too.
I still have a whole lot of rain stored up though. The garden is looking good right now despite the heat.
