A round of severe storms is likely later today.  Radar now is showing small cells developing in various parts of the state.  We just had a quick shower and I’m sure there’s a lot more coming.  It is significantly cooler today, and that makes me very happy since our AC went out yesterday.  The repair man can’t come until this afternoon.  So it won’t be too bad.
