A NICE WEEKEND SEEMS LIKELY FOR HAMPTON ROADS… THE TROPICS ARE QUIET FOR NOW
Well, I’m back after a trip to NJ and the first thing that I always do when I get home is to check my rain gauge. It appears that little, if any, rain fell in my backyard since I left on Saturday, August 2nd. Although some areas may still be running a deficit, my neighborhood received 11.80 inches of rain during the month of July! June was a very dry month, though. Many areas of the Southeast are still in a drought so we really are not out of the woods just yet. Our rain chances don’t appear to be very high over the next several days. A slightly cooler and drier air mass will be moving into the region on Friday and over the weekend which should make for a really nice weekend for Hampton Roads. As it looks now, the next chance of any rain doesn’t come until Wednesday. The tropics are quiet for now, but we are entering the period when things usually pick up. I’ll have an update this weekend.
