That means, once again, our region will have hit and miss storms... we're a lucky select few could get pounced on with a hefty storm while the rest of us remain relatively dry.
Behind this system, we'll take a break from the humidity Friday and Saturday with highs in the 80s and lows in the 50s with clearing skies this weekend. But as we go into next week, the moisture will return and we'll be back to as humid as ever... not that this is all bad news. For there to be any hope to get out of the drought, one must be optimistic as we actually have the moisture in place. We're just missing the trigger to extract that moisture into the form of beneficial rainfall.
I can say, however, that we're much better off than areas up north who are STILL facing cold weather. I spoke with a friend who just got back from a trip to Boston and they complained about the cold.
