A dry trend that keeps getting drier

Seven-Day Forecast
Daily Forecast Summary/Discussion
Today’s showers will be light and few and far between, as it looks right now. Still, many of us will see some of those drops fall from the sky at some point today. It’s not a washout, by any means.
Then, our next better chance of showers comes Tuesday, but that is not looking impressive at all. By week’s end, temps will be heating up and we’ll be getting even drier.
The second half of May looks to end on a dry note. Let’s just hope it doesn’t get too dry. Springtime is a bad time to get dry. With vegetation needed water, things can dry out really fast!

NASA Nerdology
In May 2014, NASA announced that the Veggie Plant Growth System was activated on the International Space Station. This allowed astronauts to explore how plants grow in space & added fresh food to their diet. When I visited the NASA Veggie Lab a couple of years ago, I was in absolute awe! It was one of the coolest facilities I have ever seen at NASA. Cheers to successful space agriculture!
