Drought dentin’ rains fall on parts of Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas during the past 7 days!

This just in:

Check the starting conditions on the US Drought Monitor Map below for July 22nd.  Then look at the next map showing the 7-day radar-derived rain totals (from WSI Intellicast), ending at 5 AM AST today that hit those red and brown areas of Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas.

What a great 7 days it has been, even if us here in Catalinaland haven’t been as fortunate.

The End.
