Dry Stretch of Weather:
Over the past few weeks, an excessive drought has developed over the a majority of the East Coast, and weather records indicate the last time measurable precipitation fell over the region was about 20 days ago on March 2nd (which registered only .03 inches of liquid at National).

The Climate Prediction Center's "Drought Monitor" is registering abnormally dry conditions over much of coastal New England and the Mid Atlantic, which severe drought is expanding to the southwest. (That would probably explain why my backyard is dominated by a malignant brown grass.)

While sporadic chances of rain and snow are in the forecast over the next two or three days, coverage should be minimal, and precip totals would likely amount to less than a tenth of an inch.

That said, expect a 30ish percent chance of a sprinkle or two tomorrow, with a little better chance of precip on Saturday, especially east of the I-95 corridor.

And while it may seem like our mini-drought is bad enough here, the drought taking place out in Oklahoma is much worse. The entire state has been declared a Natural Disaster Area by the US Department of Agriculture due to the extreme drought taking place in the Central Midwest.
