A cooler forecast.

We have some chilly mornings on tap the rest of this week with lows dipping into the 40s, but what we are still not seeing in the forecast is any sort of appreciable rain.  We have not had measurable rain in Salem since May 10th!!  That is quite the streak for what is typically a showery time of the year.  Yes, maybe a sprinkle or two Thursday, and may be a few sprinkles Monday; otherwise it looks like our long dry stretch is going to continue.

End of May

May 24th update

Still looking about the same as yesterday’s forecast with only some minor changes.  Basically a small chance for some drizzle Saturday and a small chance for a sprinkle next Wednesday.  No actual rain or soaking showers, and no hot days anytime soon either.  It looks like we are temporarily done with highs in the 80s for at least the next 7 or 8 days.

5.24 Forecast

In other news the Han Solo Star Wars movie comes out tonight.  Hoping it’s a good one 😉

Memorial Day Forecast

May 23.18

Don’t be scared by the raindrops Saturday.  They will be nothing more than a light drizzle and only for part of the day.  A small chance for a quick rain shower later today & tonight (Wednesday), but that won’t be very much either. 

Bottom line here is:  no widespread rain or good soaking in sight which means our drier, sunnier, & warmer than normal May will continue. 

More nice weather

It’s mid May already and the nice weather is going to continue for at least the next several days.

Mid May

No rain in sight. 

Friday & Saturday:  Still looking pretty mild.

Sunday & Monday:  Lots of clouds around and it’s looking like it should stay dry.

Tuesday:  We warm right back up.

Before & After

It’s been a long time and I’m so so sorry about the lack of updates.  The thunder and lightning this past Sunday was pretty exciting (at least for me) and I hope you all were able to enjoy it as well.  I’ve been busy with school, subbing in schools, family events, and recently my transformation of a section of yard into what will hopefully be an amazing garden, but more on that later 😉   Back to weather, the forecast for the Salem area looks like this:

May showers

 

Basically a few days of showers then very sunny and warm again. 

 

Now back to my gardening story 🙂   Here’s the before pic:
