From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ...
Our weather woes this week will be lack of rain, daily wind, and persistent high wildfire danger. In contrast, the Dakota's are facing another blizzard today on top of the cold and flooding.
The low pressure area causing the blizzard will send a dry cold front our way one tonight and another one Wednesday night. Each time, not enough moisture will be present to cause any rain.
Thursday a fast moving low from the northwest drops over us and may bring enough moisture to give at least the northern counties a little slight chance for a shower, that's about it.
Mainly windy and dry for our area this week with temperature flucuations. I'm getting plenty of questions about when the next rain is going to be. It isn't looking good.
In putting together a weather program for a presentation tonight to the Master Naturalist program in Taylor County, I went to the Climate Prediction Center specialists for their latest update. Their assessment is for above normal temperatures and below normal precipitation for the rest of the spring and summer in our area. NOT good news. That isn't to say we won't get a periodical storm system to make it rain, but it is saying the natural TREND is to return to the same pattern we've been in.
Shown above is the assessment for the next 10 days - severe drought continues in our area.
Wished I had better news.
