Woke to thunder and the sound of pounding rain. And it went on for a good long time. I think our dry spell has been corrected for the time being. Could get more rain today and tonight, which wouldn’t be a bad idea. Get it all at once. Get it over and next week should be pleasant. Mid 70s for temperature, comfortable. Maybe some rain later on in the week, but the temperatures seem to be holding in the 70s.

Currently 80 with an average wind from the W of 6 mph. Feels like 83 degrees. Dew Point 70, Barometer 29.84, Humidity 70%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:01 am, Sunset 8:24 pm.

60% chance of showers and thunderstorms tonight. Low in the mid 60s. W winds 10 mph becoming light.

Lots of clouds starting to blot out the sun already so fingers are crossed that we do, indeed, get some rain later today and overnight. Even with that little rain the got the other night, we’re quite dry with sad, lifeless leaves dropping all over driveways. Sounds like Louisiana is getting pounded by Hurricane Laura. Hope everyone stays as safe as possible.

Currently 71 with an average wind from the SE of 5 mph. Feels like 71 degrees. Dew Point 64, Barometer 30.02, Humidity 80%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:00 am, Sunset 8:26 pm

Mostly clear overnight. Low in the mid 70s. SW winds 10 -15 mph.

We did get a bit of rain with a little thunder during the night. Sounded – and smelled – wonderful. Haven’t woke to the smell of rain in a long time. We needed the moisture. We could use more but that’s iffy – as it always is whether it’s in the forecast or not. Sounds like they’re going to get plenty of it down by the gulf area with Laura taking aim at the shore very soon. Hope they all stay safe.

Temperature 74 with an average wind from the SW of 3 mph. Feels like 74 degrees. Dew Point 65, Barometer 30.04, Humidity 75%, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 6:59 am, Sunset 8;27 pm.

Partly cloudy with a 50% chance of overnight showers and thunderstorms. Low in the lower 60s. Light winds.

Now there is a chance for some rain. We should cross our fingers and hope it arrives. We can sure use it. Nicely cloudy so far this morning, looking a bit like it could possibly rain. It’s strange starting to think of Fall already and wonder what the weather will be for that season. Seems – even though Summer has been a proper one – hot and Summery – we are nearing the end of August already. How can that be possible? The Old Farmer’s Almanac does seem to hold out promise for our next couple of seasons. Perhaps not so cold as they could be, maybe not so much snow? Nothing carved in stone, of course, for a promise held out is better than nothing.  I can work with that.

Currently 82 with an average wind from the SW of 4 mph. Feels like 86 degrees. Dew Point 69, Barometer 29.99, Humidity 65%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:58 am, Sunset 8:29 pm.

70% chance of overnight showers and a chance of a thunderstorm. Low in the upper 60s. W winds 5- 10 mph becoming NW.

Rather amusing how quickly the forecast changes. Day to day. Just yesterday we were looking at a hot, dry week. Now it seems we’re facing a hot week with chances of rain popping up here and there. Crazy. The heat certainly hasn’t left the picture but nowhere is there any certainty about rain – or no rain. Just a wait and see week. I like surprises.

Currently 80 with an average wind from the WNW of 7 mph. Feels like 82 degrees. Dew Point 62, Barometer 30., Humidity 53%, Visibility 10 mi, Sunrise 6:57 am, Sunset 8:31 pm.

Mostly sunny with a high in the upper 80s. SW winds 5 -10 mph.

Partly cloudy. low in the mid 60s. Light winds.

Just a few days ago, no 90 degree days in sight. Not so now. Going to be a steamy week ahead. As for rain, they have moved in a 50/50 chance on Friday. We’ll see how that goes.

In the meantime, 2 hurricanes are fixing to hit in about the New Orleans area- at virtually the same time.  Marco was taking aim at that area from the get-go however, Laura was supposed to head for Florida. Somehow that got screwed up and it veered off to the west. So not fair.  Not looking good for the folks in the Gulf area. One at a time hurricanes are hell to deal with but two? Shouldn’t be happening. Hoping for the best for those living in the area.

Currently 77 with an average wind from the W of 4 mph. Feels like 77 degrees. Dew Point 63, Humidity 63%, Barometer 29.97, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:56 am, Sunset 8:32 pm.

Sunny with a high in the upper 80s. W winds around 10 mph.

Mostly clear with a low in the mid 60s. Light winds.

A hot four or five days ahead – and still no rain in sight. Well, clear into the week, next Friday seems to show a tiny chance for some precipitation, but it’s a slim chance and after another week of everything drying out, even if a small amount of it shows up, it might not be enough to help. We could really use a nice day long rain. Seeing nothing even remotely like that in our future.

Currently 78 with an average wind from the WNW of 3 mph. Feels like 78 degrees. Dew Point 60, Humidity 54%, Barometer 29.96 & falling, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:55 am, Sunset 8:34 pm.

Sunny with a high in the mid 80s. W winds around 10 mph.

Clear with a low in the lower 60s. Light winds.

Sounds like some upper 80s taking aim at us for the next four or five days. Might even see another 90 in there. None of that is bad, but the part that is – no rain in sight. Already the driveway is getting littered with dead leaves that  have given their lives due to excess heat and dryness. Our area is in definite need of rain.

Currently 71 with an average wind from the W of 3 mph. Feels like 71 degrees. Dew Point 58, Humidity 64%, Barometer 30.05, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:54 am, Sunset 8:36 pm.

Sunny. High in the lower 80s. SW winds 5 – 10 mph with gusts to around 20.

Clear. Low in the lower 60s. Light winds.

In spite of what the forecast says, the sky overhead refuses to cooperate. Plenty of clouds hanging around. Perhaps it will clear up later on. Strange though…where did those clouds come from. Was supposed to be clear last night and sunny today but somehow, from somewhere, these fairly hefty clouds are blocking out the sun.

Currently 69 with an average wind from the ESE of 2 mph. Feels like 69 degrees. Dew Point 52, Humidity 55%, Barometer 30.11, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:53 am, Sunset 8:37 pm.

Sunny today with a high in the upper 70s. Light winds.

Clear tonight, low in the mid 50s. Light winds.

Wow! Another day designed by a Summer expert. Not much can be done to improve on this one. They forecast has changed a bit – surprise!- but the weekend. Saturday sounds like a really hot one with a chance of rain on moving in for Sunday. Not putting too much stock in this as things seem to shuffle around and chance of a daily basis. Who knows what will actually transpire by the time the weekend rolls around. In the meantime, fabulous Summer days to be enjoyed.
