Mirage?

Sacramento hit a record-high temperature for the date on April 18th (91 F), and yet the weather models have been teasing rain in a little more than a week, for at least the last week. It's like Lucy with the football. People in other places don't worry about stuff like this. No one in the UK posts excitedly about the mirage of some rain in a little more than a week. 

And yet, the mirage is there....  It does look like it will rain on Sunday....
