Good Morning! Hot & dry again today, but we are about to see a radical change in our weather pattern. Tropical downpours are on the menu before this week is over, and over the weekend. We desperately need the rain, and the rainfall amounts could be significant over a multi day period. On this video, I’ll update the timeline, and we’ll look at potential rainfall amounts. Be prepared to have a Plan B for your weekend plans.
Hot and Dry one more day, today. Upper 90’s.
