We’ll slowly cut into that rain deficit again today … hopefully. But it’d take about 2 weeks worth of rain like we got on Monday to get back to normal this summer.
The good news is the heat is holding off for a few more days but it does look like a return to very summer-like conditions is in store for the end of this week and this weekend.
