Brutal heat wave

Hasn't rained for a few weeks now.  Additionally, temps have risen to late-July norms.  Highs in the mid-90s this week.

Flora are already starting to wilt, and grass is already turning brown.

The last major drought around here was in 1998-2000.  The 21st century has delivered rainier-than-expected summers.  Until now.

Chance of rain Wednesday, but that forecast is still several days away, so it's basically meaningless as far as accuracy goes.

I just hope we get at least one good drenching shower before July 4th, otherwise there's going to be an outbreak of fires when some fireworks inevitably land on dead grass.
