One Of The Driest Starts To A Year On Record

So far this year (as of March 24) we have seen just 2.13" of rain.  This is now the 10th Driest start to a year on record.

We need 5.40" of rain to get us back to normal with rainfall this year.

 

The last time we had this dry of a start to a year was 1972.

Here are the top 18 driest starts to a year thru March 24.

There are some rain chances on Wednesday, but rainfall totals will be less than 1/2".  A few isolated thunderstorms will be possible on Thursday, but coverage will be very low.
