All my kids were home for the weekend and we made a big fire last night in celebration of our country’s birthday.  Someone on the next road was shooting off a fantastic display of fireworks which lasted for about 2 hours.  I can’t imagine the cost of that, but we certainly enjoyed watching them.  The weather was perfect and hardly any mosquitoes, probably because of the low humidity.  There are thunderstorms in the forecast for later today, and some could be severe.  We sure could use the rain.

Our 3 PM temperature is 88F, the humidity is 40%, and skies are cloudy with filtered sun.  Winds are from the SW at 2-7 mph and the dew point is 56F.  The pressure is 29.91 in and falling, and visibility is 16 miles.  Sunrise was at 6:03 AM and sunset will be at 9:19 PM.  Yesterday’s high was 86F and the overnight low was 62F.  Average temps for this date are 82F / 58F.
