We enjoyed sunny skies Saturday but temperatures warmed up to the mid 90s. Sunday rain chances will be about 40% as a front nears the state. Monday and Tuesday that front will stall just to our north and will act as a forcing mechanism for air to rise and form storms. I’m going with a 70% chance of rain Monday and a good chance Tuesday. After that we should return to the norm with a few scattered showers with daytime heating.
As I learned this week reporting on the sugurcane crop, the rain has really helped. It’s growing very well with the wet weather but it’s about time for the rice crop to be harvested. Rice farmers don’t need the fields to be wet because their machines can put ruts in the soil and damage it for future planting. From what I’ve heard it’s been a pretty good season for all. We just have to keep the hurricanes away and so far, so good.
Enjoy your weekend!
