I believe the official National Weather Service prediction was that we had a 20% chance of rain today. When I left work today, shortly before 5 PM, the air was oppressively hot. There were storm clouds in the area.
I could see the virga. And the brown dust clouds mixed in with the grey clouds of potential storms. There were raindrops, but no real rainstorms. We had some lightning and thunder. But no real storms.
Looking at the local radar, there are potential storms in the area. I suspect that the moisture gets sucked out of the storm by the heat and dryness of the ground below. I am not sure that is scientific. But I believe it can happen.
