Weather It Is (Rain on the Way)

Good Afternoon:

It looks like our drought will bend a bit (rather than break) at the end of the week, as cold air moves in from the west.  This is not a heavy, heavy rain, but it also a rain that should cover most of the country.

Until this storm arrives, temperatures will rise by several more degrees.  After the storm departs, temperatures will return to mild winter levels for a few days.  Beyond mid next week, we'll have to wait and see if temperatures move upwards towards an early spring or downwards for a late winter rain (with a small chance of wet snow).  

Winter may never have begun, but it may just be ending -- drought and all.  As they say, we're not in Kansas anymore (or better yet, New York where another coastal snow storm is expected Wednesday night and Thursday).
