As has been the pattern for the recent years, a wet spring has been followed by a dry mid to late summer. For some parts of the state, it has been 40 some days since the last calendar day with over a half inch of rainfall as shown by the featured map. For these areas, the last major rainfall was on 30 June. Chances for rain are in the forecast, so hopefully the rain falls on the areas that need it the most.
