Closing out the second month of meteorological summer we will enjoy a sunny comfortable day for being outside to enjoy any activities we wish. While I have been catching up on tasks outside since retirement my neighbor has been building a huge barn this summer. He is a private contractor who builds houses, barns and […]
Still a bit humid this morning with some fog around. Temp is currently 66° at 7am. We had .44 of an inch of rain yesterday half of it coming from a pulse storm which popped up. There is a small chance of a shower or storm today mainly west of 131, however the air will […]
Working outside the past couple days have been miserable at best. I have been repairing a shed on my property replacing old wood which has involved use of a crow bar and other hand tools with a lot of grunting and unacceptable language. Since my retirement I have been catching up on a lot of […]
This is the time of year when some weather forecasters pull out their hair trying to predict rain chances especially when pulse storms cells are in the picture. (This is probably why I am bald.) In a previous post I described a pulse storm as a single cell thunderstorm which can form then empty itself […]
While we have had a very warm July it has been nothing compared to what has been going on in Europe this month Europe is now baking under its second heat wave this month, but this latest is one for the record books. On Thursday, Paris set its all-time temperature high, reaching 108.6 degrees Fahrenheit. […]
In an earlier post I spoke about the possibility of a cool down coming the last week of July into August which is now shown in the latest CPC guesses which will take away the chances of 90° days. Our temps will still be in the 78 to 80° range – normal is around 80° […]
Not much to say today as there isn’t much going on weather wise. July is certainly making up for our cool and rainy June. An area of high pressure is drifting to our south and over Ontario which has effectively blocked formation of any clouds or allowing the humidity to rise to unbearable levels. This […]
Not much to say about the weather today as it will be much the same as yesterday. We will see gradual increase in temps and humidity through the week. Our next chance of rain comes late in the weekend. We have a 43% chance of above normal temps over the next two weeks and equal […]
I am not the worlds greatest speller, especially when I am quickly typing these morning posts – my grammar isn’t the best either – thank God for spell check. Over the past century or so we have slaughtered the English language, you will see this if you have read any of the classics written in […]
We will have a respite from the hot and humid Alabama/Mississippi like weather we had in place last week. Our southern neighbors are used to that and as far as I am concerned they can keep it down there. I have been clearing some of my property of weeds and small trees the past couple […]
