Cool nights and mild days will continue. No rain for the foreseeable future. Drought conditions are going to worsen. DRY HIGH PRESSURE HOLDING STRONG! TEN TWENTY-FOUR P.M. CENTRAL DAYLIGHT TIME! RELATIVE HUMIDITY SLIDING DOWN EVERY AFTERNOON! LIGHT WINDS FANNING THE RISK OF FIRE! PARCHED GROUND UNDER AN EMPTY SKY! NO TROFF TO SAVE US FROM THIS STAGNANT AIR! THE PATTERN LOCKED IN PLACE! DROUGHT CONDITIONS WORSEN AGAIN! The nights fall cool into the forties The sky stays clear and endless blue The earth is cracking underneath our feet Baking in the seventies! GRADUAL WARMING THROUGH THE WEEKEND! EXTENDED DRYNESS WILL NOT BREAK! NO MOISTURE TO BE FOUND ALOFT! THE SUN REFUSES TO RELENT! WE ARE DUST AND DESPERATION! FORESEEABLE FUTURE IS BONE DRY! NO RAIN! NO RAIN! IT ONLY WORSENS FROM HERE! NO ESCAPE FROM THE HIGH PRESSURE! The nights fall cool into the forties The sky stays clear and endless blue The earth is cracking underneath our feet Baking in the seventies! IT WORSENS! NO RAIN IN SIGHT! BAKING IN THE SEVENTIES!
