Bone Dry Air Mass

Mild, sunny days and cool, clear nights will continue for the foreseeable future.
No rain is expected for at least the next seven days, and likely longer.
Drought conditions are going to worsen.

Surface ridge to the north and west
North-northwest flow giving us no rest
Middle Tennessee under a sky of steel
Not a single drop for the earth to feel
Forty-eight hours and the temperature stays
Locked inside these endless sunny days

Relative humidity is bottoming out
Thirty to forty percent in a relentless drought
Friday comes along and it drops down lower
The sky is a furnace and the clock moves slower

High pressure taking hold, watch the river pass
National Blend of Models says the clouds won't last
Every single forecast run pushes back the class
We are trapped inside a bone dry air mass

Blowing through the trees with a dry crisp heat
Dust on the highway and cracks in the street
High pressure dominant, sitting like a stone
Leaving every acre dried up to the bone
End of next week? Maybe just a lie
Look at the horizon, not a cloud in the sky

High pressure taking hold, watch the river pass
National Blend of Models says the clouds won't last
Every single forecast run pushes back the class
We are trapped inside a bone dry air mass

Bone dry
Bone dry
National Blend of Models pushes rain away
Worsening drought conditions every single day
