It’s a glorious day. Tomorrow should be a dandy, too, for the most part. Maybe Monday’s rain will move in sometime during the afternoon, but let’s hope it holds off until very late. As of now, it looks as if the rain for Tuesday will be gone. Monday should be our rainy day. We can live with that. The rest of the week looks wonderful. And again, as of now, we could be looking at another great weekend next time around. Something to look forward to with eagerness. We’ve had too many rainy Sunday weekends to last us for a while.

A rather drab morning but it should brighten up later today. The possibility is there. The coming rain for Monday that up until today was held more or less in place has decided to branch out and encompass Sunday night and Tuesday morning.  At least, as of now, the daylight weekend hours are promising to be rain free and pleasant. We have to settle for what we get from Mother Nature. Seems like she’s going to grace us with an entire good weekend. Sounds okay to me.

Looking at rain tomorrow and next Monday. One of the sites I’ve checked is trying hard to sneak in some rain for Sunday but let’s hope that one is an anomaly.  Let’s think positive and imagine a completely dry weekend for a change. We can face rain on Monday, just would rather not look at Sunday rain. At any rate, today is a fabulous day with plenty of sunshine and warmth. Loving that.

Today and tomorrow should be bright and sunny. Perhaps some rain but definitely some clouds on Thursday then no other mention of rain until about next Monday. As it stands right now, we should have a rainless weekend. Wouldn’t that be nice? We shall see but as of today it’s looking good.

A terrific day of weather for us today. Tomorrow looks promising too. The entire week, actually. There is a hint that perhaps a bit of rain could move through on Thursday, but if so, right now it looks to be very light if it does. Had some terrible flooding in the west. Looking at some very heavy rain moving through Texas and Louisiana today. Likely some flooding. That area is more or less used to heavy rainfalls being so close to the coast and the weather systems that travel through their area but coping with it has to present more troubles and woes than we’re ever subjected to. Like I keep saying, for the most part, we are so fortunate with our weather. We may not like some of it, but not much of it causes us major problems. Not looking for any weather problems this week, major or minor.  Mostly sunshine and comfortable temperatures.
