National Weather Service is watching our region for wildfire concerns
, given the lack of rain, the notable breeziness and the very dry air. This allows any dry wood or grasses on the ground to easily serve as wildfire fuel. Just how dry have we gotten? While there’s no longer-term drought concern to speak of, we do have a notable rainfall deficit. On the map above, areas in the lighter yellow would need at least two inches of rain to catch up with what should have fallen from Jan. 1 to Sunday. Darker yellow shadings could stand to see four to six inches. As the sun gets higher in the springtime sky and able to evaporate more moisture from the soil, we’ll keep an eye on drought concerns. Once growing season officially starts, we’ll also see plants pulling moisture from the topsoil.
