We Need The Rain!

For the year 2009 we are running behind in precipitation... we need rain folks! Typically Monsoon Season gives us a good bunch of our needed rain... sometimes well over half of our yearly total. Through today, Thursday August 13th, we've got a deficit of .87" inches in our yearly total. Not hard to overcome and we may be able to do it over the next few weeks. A large mid/upper level storm will provide for great rain chances through Friday. We'll take a "break" from the monsoon this weekend and early next week before another "brust" of rainy weather returns to our region. Cross your fingers! Those lawns are really turning brown.
