Joe Bastardi is right again! He said several months ago that this area where the drought has been the hardest would see rain. And now they are getting it.
He also mentioned a few months ago that there would be a bumper crop of corn this year.

It’s hard for me me to think of the high desert on the Mexican border as being in ‘drought’. It’s a dry climate that gets most of its little rain this time of year.
And, yep, it’s likely to be a record corn crop that’s selling below cost of most production. Probably record soybeans too.
Well not to be snarky...but any meteorologist worth his salt can predict that here. It happens every year, called the monsoon. And it’s miserable. We are hoping its wetter than normal of course.
