You misunderstand, you mentioned that it could go dry for a time and I mentioned that models show nothing after today until around the 11th and given how far out that is it's fantasy range. Budding niña autumn plus a monster high pressure ridge means very little in the way of rain. Given our luck these past few years these ridges are self sustaining and can park themselves over us for weeks. Like October into November of last year, there was zero rain accumulation for exactly 5 weeks.
