I've been seeing that most mornings for the last couple of months in a few specific areas--pretty much just on the bare ground areas taht have no grass, and are hardest-packed from the pounding JellyBean (and other dogs previously) give it on their zoomies.

If one of the next storm systems connects to and starts to draw pineapple moisture surrounding the Hawiian Islands we could get some more significant precipitation but currently dominated by high pressure making it less likely.
 
News never says nothing. Equal chances, ha! What I want to know what the low pressure system and heavy rains in Hawaii does for our chances? The big North Pacific high so far is sinking its chances of helping us.
