Drought at Extreme Level....Any Relief?

The current drought conditions that we are experiecning is declared as "Extreme" by the US Drought Monitor. A persistant high pressure system at the surface and aloft has kept our pattern consistently dry. The next few days continue to look dry, but a slight pattern change by the weekend could allow for a return of some scattered showers locally. The 6-10 outlook (2nd image) indicates the slightly above noraml rainfall chances by the weekend and early next week. Granted, it is not enough to wipe out the drought conditions, but it could provide our lawns and gardens with a much needed drink of water.
