Even when we didn't have NW flow it was dry as a mofo and basically at 90 degrees... We need a stall front to just sit across the area and produce rainfall. 

The fronts are moving through without stalling because of the strong NW and W flow

At least some of yall won! We all need it, so that’s a win in itself. I’d just settle at this point for consistent weekly thunderstorms as we warm up. As much as we loathe it, we need to get some soupy air to tap into. I can’t recall the dp being this consistently low. It feels nice, but it’s not conducive to active weather and afternoon lift. I’ve normally already put two treatments of disease X on the yard - no need so far.

Yes, the low humidity has been fantastic for the lawn. No brown patch or fungus issues with temps and humidity like this.

There's brown grass here but it's due to drought and people mowing too often

This is such a hilarious point-and-click forecast:

A 70% chance of rain!
Between 2-3 PM.
Less than a tenth of an inch.
