In historical records, when a La Nina occurs, rainfall in Illinois is above normal in March and April, then the bottom falls out in May, June, July and August. We're expecting less-than-normal rainfall for each of those months. That's our best guess for a long-range forecast. |
Just to prevent additional moisture deficit, we need 4 inches a month. We're not even close to getting that. |
We are not aware of any indicators that point to any increased probability of wet conditions. |
