Yesterday was pretty nerve-racking as storm alert after storm alert came through on my phone.  It began as a severe thunderstorm watch, to a warning, then tornado warnings.  This went on for about 4 hours in the l […]

We had light to moderate to heavy rain all day Friday with very few breaks.  Today hasn’t been quite as bad so far, but more heavy rain is predicted for later today.  There was 1.77″ of rain in my gauge this m […]

While so many here in the state are saying how happy they are for the rain, I feel like we’re about to float away.  My weather station is now showing that we’ve received almost 4 inches of rain since June 1.  I r […]

Thursday was another pleasantly cooler than normal day with highs in the upper mid 70s reached in the later mid-afternoon period. Partly sunny skies predominated all day, mostly puffy, fair-weather cumulus at […]

Today is much like yesterday, cloudy, cool with scattered rain showers.  Our extended forecast is calling for rain almost every day over the next week.  We are supposed to be in a drought but you could fool m […]
