In the weather business the spring season is comprised of March, April and May. As we all know it has been a dry year so far...especially this spring with the driest March on record and the driest March and April on record. May has provided some rain but not much. The driest spring (March-May) on record is the spring of 1992 when a paltry 4.81" of rain fell. So far this spring we are at 5.25"of rain. So, while not the driest spring on record it is the second driest so far. The spring of 1985 brought 7.30" of rain. So no doubt about it this spring, like 1992 is a rare weather event....DRY. Long range predictions continue to favor very dry conditions across the region. Look for drought conditions to worsen. **(Keep in mind all weather records are for Jackson, MS)
