With less than half an inch in the rain
bucket for much of the month, it was sure nice to see a 'soaker
system' role in from the southwest for the morning of the 25th.
A persistent zonal flow from west to east has made the month both
warm and dry overall. And, while I'm no expert, I think I might see
some evidence of a change towards wetter conditions when viewing the
northern hemispheric jet streams!
January historically sees a little over
three inches of precipitation and with the drought conditions that
have so plagued regions like Texas and Oklahoma, I was wondering if
southwest Missouri was also heading in that direction. The arrival of
this very timely moisture will sure help to alleviate those fears for
the short term.
