I’m definitely looking forward to tomorrow for the possibly of precipitation in our area. Even with the slight precipitation we got on the first day of Spring, we still are below the average for this time of year. This is according to the National Weather Service in Mount Holly, NJ. The average for this time of the year is 3.9 inches and in viewing data recorded from over a span of the last 30 days ( February 22, 2009 to March 23, 2009) we have only received 0.08 inches of rain in Union, NJ. We need those spring showers!
Currently a low developing in the south will be moving in to our area tomorrow possibly bringing new precipitation amounts between a tenth to a quarter of inch. Our next chance for precipitation won’t be until the weekend when another low, this time from over the great lakes, moves into our region possible bringing new rainfall amounts. I’ll keep you updated on the current conditions with the precipitation situation. We are currently not in a drought but with prolonged periods without rain we may be headed that way.
