Always figured April was the most beautiful month of the year, so the WeatherBlog will be off the air for a week while I re-acquaint myself with the planet in springtime, and with my favorite teacher. Against my better instincts, I will likely be back on the job by April 13.
In the meantime, you may talk amongst yourselves.

On an unrelated note, was it some inside joke on the Weather page recently... The chance of rain was given in increments of single percentage points (rather than, say, a 60 percent chance, it was a 14 percent chance, or a 91 percent chance.)
I figure you are either using some new forecasting model that gives percentages more exactly, or someone was just having fun and waiting to see if anyone noticed. Any idea which??
FR: First I've heard of it. I've forwarded your question to Bernadette Woods, at WJZ, which produces that box on the print weather page.

It looks like youre vacation put a dent in our drought. Where do we stand now?
FR: April has been pretty wet so far, but we are still behind the average pace for the year. I will post a drought update shortly.
