The Weather Service is promising us some rain today.  We could also see some heavy, if not severe, thunderstorms.  These are already occurring up north but we’ve yet to see any rain here.  In addition to that, many areas are under a heat advisory.  The radar is very active right now, showing the formation of many storm cells, with most still staying well to our north.  I haven’t watered any of my garden the past few days, so I’m banking on these storms not missing us like they do so often.

Our 1 PM temperature is 84°F, the humidity is 68%, and winds are from the SSW at 4-11 mph.  The dew point is 72°F and the pressure is 29.86 in and falling.  Visibility is 11 miles.  Sunrise was at 6:29 AM and sunset will be at 8:55 PM.  Yesterday’s high was 80°F, and the overnight low was 65°F.  Average temps for this date are 83°F / 59°F.
