An unquenchable thirst for knowledge about the weather, an observer of world-wide weather events, and an addicted fan of the Weather Channel on TV. Some occurrences from our not too distant past have left me horrified to this day- such as the possibly avoidable tragedy of the damage and death trailing behind Katrina, where human error combined with Mother Nature for sheer terror, the unspeakable destructive Tsunamis in Japan and Thailand, scenes and sounds of which I can hardly bear to see or hear. But I do see and hear it all because I am enthralled, fascinated, by weather driven happenings every bit as much as I am captivated by the clouds in our ever-changing sky. No impressive credentials, no list of meaningful letters trailing after my name, this is merely me, just another weather junky having my say about it all.

Dry today but look for the possibility of some rain over the next two or three days. Sunday is looking dry. Right now next week is looking to be in the 80 degree range but with a small chance for some rain most days. That’s a ways down the road in the weather world, so who knows what will occur by then.

Starting out to be a pleasant morning but there is a chance of some rain moving in later today into this evening. Sounds like sunshine for the next couple of days then perhaps rain Thursday through Saturday. So far, Sunday is looking fine and dandy. Not a bad week coming up – maybe a bi more precipitation than we would like but you never know. Might not turn out that wet. We’ll find out.

A good chance for some rain overnight and a possibility of some early tomorrow. That’s going to be followed by a couple of nice sunny days. A fair trade off. Maybe some 80 degree days coming this week, too. Nothing drastic, just summery.  In fact, lucky nothing severe or drastic is in our picture at least through the coming week. Can’t ask for more than that.

So far it’s looking like a possibility. Could see some 80 degree days over the next couple of weeks. Nothing drastic, just nicely summer.

Nice and comfortable stretch of weather for us. No rain in the forecast until late Sunday, Sunday night. Then it’s right back to dry weather. Sounding pretty good. Nothing drastic in our temperature due either. Maybe up to 80 a few days sometime next week. A fairly decent weekend coming up with a good chance for some outdoor plans. Summery weather is ours at last.

With a cloudless sky, we should be looking at bright blue overhead. Unfortunately, the smoke drifting down from Canada is fouling up our air and hazing up our sky. Our temperatures are set to stay comfortable with no rain showing up until likely late Sunday. Perhaps a bit on Monday. Other than that, should be nice and summery. Too bad we can’t be outside breathing deep appreciative breathes. Thanks, Canada.
