So, I see Scott Martin’s midday post crowing about not having to water his garden today and I am envious. We squeezed out a meager 0.17 inches at my house in southern Jefferson County after things looked promising for awhile.

Here is how my conversation went with meteorologist Sheldon Kusselson this morning:

Sheldon: You have your best shot at the most widespread rain in Alabama coming today…then each day gets less through Thursday. With a slight increase over the weekend. So, to help any parched areas, today is the day.

Me: Wishing the boundary would drop a little south and put some rain on my lawn.

Sheldon: Can you maybe move your property a little north?

Me: (sigh)
