Rain.

I hadn't thought about it until today, but we haven't seen much rain in November. Many parts of Missouri haven't received anything truly measurable. Has Missouri ever gone an entire month without rain? History says...almost.

It appears that parts of Missouri that are desperately in need of moisture will get rain later this week. The only question is how much and will it help the state's dire drought conditions. It looks like there's at least some hope of helpful rain coming.

Missouri has needed rain for much of 2023 as much of the state has experienced extreme drought conditions. The good news is that it's rained in Missouri over the past week with some areas seeing up to 10 inches in just a 7 day period.

Many of us have talked about how we need rain in Missouri and Illinois. Perhaps in the future we should be careful what we wish for as 3 different areas were hammered with more than 6 inches of moisture which caused lots of flooding.

Almost all of Missouri has been suffering under a terrible drought this year. If a new forecast is accurate, the state could be receiving a ton of badly needed rain in August.

I am normally a fan of sunshine. But, even I would prefer that Missouri would see a lot more moisture and that's exactly what Farmer's Almanac is predicting for July. Let's hope they're correct.

Parts of Missouri especially in the central parts of the state were already suffering from extreme drought conditions, but now that's expanded to the northeast officially according to meteorologists at the National Weather Service in St. Louis.

I've heard it said that the rich only get richer. If that principle applies to moisture, the wettest county in Missouri just keeps getting wetter seeing an average of more than 50 inches of rain every single year.

If you don't have an umbrella handy, might want to get one. The weather nerds are saying there's a real good chance it will rain hard on parts of Missouri and Illinois beginning Thursday night.

It should be noted that this is not a life-threatening flash flood otherwise I would not be as nearly impressed as I am. It's a Missouri truck driver who was driving through water that had suddenly covered a roadway in Joplin and blasted it like a boss and unintentionally created a mini-tsunami.
