No bueno for spring
VIRGINIA: DROUGHT WILL WORSEN
Hi everyone! I hope you're enjoying a beautiful weekend. I'm sitting at the house working on a future news story about the drought/summer outlook, and here's an item about it:
• This is a computer map, and it's not good news for Virginians/farmers. The map shows a computer forecast for rain totals for the next 10 days.
• Brighter colors= more rain. No color/white= dry.
• No large Lows/storm systems/batches of rain/ are in the forecast with our current weather pattern for the ABC 13 area.
• While a few/stray rain chances will be possible, mainly near mountains, I don’t see a large soaking of rain during the next 10 days.
• All locations in the ABC13 area are drier than normal for 2026, and dating back to late last summer.
• Meanwhile, many days of severe weather will occur in TX, OK/Central Plains.
