As expected after our recent rains, the new drought monitor has lowered the severity of drought over us. We went from extreme (level 3) to severe (level 2), which means in the short term (5-7 days) we don't need more rain, but over the longer term (2-3 weeks) we could still use more soakers. We begin with last week's drought monitor on top.
Areas to our east still need a lot more rain over the next few weeks, but locally we're in much better shape. Today we're in a dry northerly flow, but that will change beginning tomorrow.
The main frontal boundary has pushed south of Florida, while a weak surface front is stalled near us.
You can see the warming (90s) back to our west along with the higher dew points (50s & 60s). You'll start to feel more summer-like as the humidity rises, especially by Saturday & Sunday. As we approach 90, along with the increase in humidity, I call it "almost hot".

Our next rain chance comes Sunday afternoon with some spotty daytime heating showers. In case you missed it, we released the latest podcast yesterday.
It focused on the upcoming hurricane season. Go to bobbreck.com to sign up. Stay tuned!
