Trees are in petal fall and near shock split with growth two to three weeks ahead of last year, increasing frost sensitivity while drought and dry spells loom without a soaking rain of three to five inches. Forecasters predict a warming trend with below normal rainfall and above normal temperatures, signaling a hot dry summer pattern ahead.
