Last Day of Spring?

Without any showers around today, we rose back into the 90s (94).  Astronomically, Thursday is the last full day of Spring as the Summer Solstice occurs at 10:54 AM on Friday.  Now all of us living in the Deep South know that is really meaningless since once we get to late May, it feels like summer.  However, in talking with my sister in NW Indiana, they're cloudy, cold & rainy with temps in the 50s!  She's complaining of not having any summer-like temps yet.  It has been an unusually cool & wet Spring for many from the Plains into the Great Lake states.   And that is unlikely to change for the next 7-10 days.

Locally, we're in a hot and mostly dry pattern with the storm track keeping storms across Texas & Oklahoma steering them into Arkansas,  Northern Mississippi & north Louisiana.  If the longer range models (10-14 days) are correct, we'll revert back into a wetter pattern by the end of June.  Until then, get use to the Summer (Officially) heat. Nothing is happening in the Tropics.  Amen! Stay tuned!
