So, it looks like there are some weather concerns for the Midwest Rally this year. I’ve done some armchair meteorology, concerning July in the Midwest, and there’s good news.
The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is predicting that precipitation will be “average†for the months of June-July. Now, what that means is this: since we’ve had an unprecedented amount of rain in June (Approximately 125-300% more than usual from Maine into Arkansas) we should begin to dry out, rather quickly. The temperatures are predicted to be slightly below average, west of Illinois, so I’d expect to see a higher likelihood of unstable weather, but a decrease in the total precipitation for the region. Most of these problems are due to a lingering LaNina event in the Pacific and should allow for a pretty average summer next year.
I hope the weather stays clear for you guys, just keep your fingers crossed.
