Did it officially rain in Dallas yesterday?
At around 3 p.m. yesterday, here’s how the radar looked:
I thought, “Thank God. It’s going to rain today. I can stop doing these silly weather updates and move on to something more productive, like calling the Cowboys’ media relations office to inquire about Charlotte Jones’ great blood. I’m a big blood person. I believe in blood.” But I was wrong. Not about Jones’ great blood but about the rain. That line of storms fell apart just as it reached Dallas. Actually it did rain a little bit at my own personal house. And I understand folks in Denton County got some rain. But you know where it didn’t rain? At the official National Weather Service rain gauge at DFW Airport. Once again, no measurable precipitation where it counts. We’re now at day No. 57 and in sole possession of the fifth-longest dry streak in Dallas history.
