Houston Floods...Mobile Drought
* One of my professors at Mississippi State always likes to say that it's either feast or famine when it comes to weather (and rain in particular) in the South. That professor is Dr. Charles Wax, and he also serves as State Climatologist. Dr. Wax is a great guy and a great professor, and his words are better than mine....Feast or famine.Those words were the first thing that came to my mind after seeing the images of flooding from Houston yesterday. A day's drive west of there, and people are begging for some rain. Typical weather in the Southeast, that's for sure.
* So what about rain chances here? Unfortunately, they sure look slim. A weak upper trough is forecast to slide north of here around the end of the week, and this will bring a few scattered showers and storms...We'll keep our fingers crossed.
* Speaking of the feast or famine perspective, you could apply that to east Mississippi yesterday as well. Heavy rain and thunderstorms affected a large part of our area, but many neighborhoods stayed bone dry. That's just the nature of those summertime storms.
