What appeared to be a promising rain maker is now lifting NE out of the state (see map) leaving most areas high and dry. A very vigorous and cold upper level low brought some light showers to a few areas ,but not the rainfall amounts that we needed and it's now been 12 days since our last rainfall. Cool temperatures at the surface meant very little lift in the atmosphere even though the mid and upper levels were very favorable for thunderstorms. Abundant cloud cover helped to keep the temperatures well below normal for this time of year.
