Recurring drought conditions have been a problem in the Valley for the past 5 years.
Last year ended 1.89" above normal because of a very wet August and September but this is deceiving because most of the year was very dry with moderate to severe drought conditions.
The last really wet year was 2020.
So far in 2025 the first 75 days finds me .19" below normal.
Regarding rain for most of next week, the GFS/ECM predicts a weekly total of .86" for my location. The normal rainfall is .87".
