Tonight – Thunderstorms? – High 79

Tonight – Light Rain Breaking Up – High 84

Dew points are still relatively low, but as rain approaches from the west, it will bring with it higher dew points and higher humidity.

Very light rain may arrive (if it holds together) just in time for the commute home tonight.  The rain should be gone before midnight. Some fog could develop late tonight after the rain. read more

Tonight – Clear – High 85

The cold front came through this morning, bringing cooler, less humid weather by August standards. It’s hard to believe it’s August 4, and we’ve still yet to see the dog days of summer. read more

This is my first soda in several months, and I’m drinking it fully realizing it’s the diet version of 19.25 teaspoons of sugar: read more

Tonight – Showers Possible – High 81

Yup! The humidity is back… A few more very isolated showers will be moving in this afternoon. May make for a wet commute home.
