Today seems to be a day coming at us without the possibility of any rain. The rest of the week appears to carry at least a small chance for some rain. Maybe the greatest chance coming about Saturday afternoon/evening. The remnants of Tropical Storm Fred seem to have scattered to the east pretty much skipping sending any of it this far north. Okay by all of us. Pleasant summer weather is more our choice. Seems like we should be getting that for the most part this week.

Today and tomorrow should be quite pleasant. Might have some rain moving in for Wednesday and Thursday. Switching things up is a good thing. Don’t want to be complacent about nice weather, right? Anyway, nothing sounding too harsh coming our way. Disruption to our weather that will be total tag ends of the Tropical Storm Fred swinging past our area by Thursday. The far north shreds of it continue to curl off to the East Coast carried by continuing air currents making that big swing from the south to the east coast, but he’s not much more than a straggling soggy has-been by the time, without much success, any of it tries to include us in it. Still plenty of precipitation and flooding off to the south and off toward that East Coast, but nothing of note for our area.

I know many place around this state had to endure storms, wind, lots of lightening the past few days…but here in my little backyard? Seemed no end to the rumbles of thunder but that was mainly all there was to it. Plenty of sound but very little fury. And I was fine with that. Can do without all the damaging fury that occurred elsewhere.
