To say it’s been dry is an understatement and it hasn’t been good for gardens, lawns or local farmers.

“The average should be at least 3.75 inches,” McCoy stated.

The current forecast calls for a 50 percent chance of showers Saturday night and a 60 percent chance showers and thunderstorms on Sunday.
