Yesterday brought us no rain, but there were isolated storm cells that formed over parts of the state.  Several severe storm warnings were issued as well as one tornado warning.  None, however, happened in my area.  We are being told to expect much of the same this afternoon.  It was hot and muggy yesterday and it should be a bit cooler today.  Hopefully no severe weather for us but we could sure use the rain.
