another dry month wrapping up

 Here's the Wx Underground forecast for the rest of September.

So our driest and first 0.00" month (August) could be followed by our 2nd-driest! We are at 0.01" as of now, and showers keep disappearing from our forecast about five days out. Our 2nd driest is currently 0.03" so it could be close.

We're now at day 78 since the last true rain - the day with 0.01 was the first day above a trace since July 6th. A half-dozen trace days also occurred. 

Our Jul-Sep amount is 13% of normal - a very dry summer. Last year those three months were 132% of normal. As the three driest months it's less surprising to vary wildly from a small average than for other three-month periods.. but that's quite a swing.

Update - forecast is (for once) getting wetter - we'll see about that!
