Driest May ever probable in south Louisiana...

We've only received a trace of rain for the month in Lafayette. What looked like it could be a decent rain event earlier this week is turning out to be a 30% chance of rain sunday night as the front passes through. Just about the same scenario as the last frontal passage and we ended up with a few drops! After that we have a dry forecast until at least next weekend so it looks like we have a good chance of having the driest May on record. Welcome to the drought of 2003 for the northwestern gulf coast.
