We Need Rain

We are behind on rainfall for 2010 by 4.25" so far. That's about 28% less than the average by this time in the year. January was the driest month, with 3.09" of rain in Shreveport. We need 4.60" on a normal January. But, April is on pace to be even drier. So far, we've only gotten 1.04" in Shreveport and we're halfway through the month.

Now, there is some good news. The soils started off the year kind of soggy thanks to the flooding last October and November. And, the second half of the month is looking like it's going to be a lot wetter for us.

Jason, thanks for that report!
