WE NEED RAIN!
It’s no secret we desperately need rain. Even with some in the forecast this weekend and next week, it won’t come close to ending the drought.
The graphic below shows how much rain is needed to end the drought over the next three months, and the chances of that actually happening. Bottom line: it’s very unlikely we’ll be out of the drought by the end of July.
The rainfall needed includes our current deficit plus the assumption that we receive near-normal rainfall over the next three months.
Several factors determine the likelihood of ending the drought:
1. Forecast models: How many long-range runs show sustained, above-normal rainfall?
2. Season: Spring favors widespread rain; summer is more scattered, making drought harder to erase.
3. Severity: The deeper the drought, the harder it is to overcome.
4. Deficit: How far behind are we on rainfall?
5. History: In similar setups, how often has drought actually improved?
It takes consistent, soaking rain over time, not just a few storms, to end a drought.
