A Hot, Dry Summer?

We had our first rain today in 2 weeks. Amounts were .05" to .25", not much. Wednesday will be hot with highs in the 90s. Is this a trend for the summer? A little bit of rain & a lot of heat? We do not think so. First, a decent cold front will come through Wednesday night, putting an end to the high heat. This front may also bring T-Storms. Also, we are seeing indications that a wetter pattern could be setting up for early July. It could be as wet as early June, we will just have to see how it sets up. Rainy periods DO NOT occur in hot, dry summers. See the total rainfall predicted for July 2-6 by our long range model the GFS. There are some 7" to 9" amounts not that far away!
