Once again, we face a day of storms coming out of the northwest.  Radar is showing a long line heading our way.  We certainly don’t need anymore rain in spite of those who claim that they haven’t gotten much lately.  I’m hearing that some areas are still considered to be drought stricken, but I really find it hard to believe.  Our morning is very breezy but temperatures are mild.  There is a light layer of clouds and filtered sun at this time.  We should start seeing more seasonable temperatures over the weekend.  Unfortunately, it is expected to be very wet and I saw one forecast saying that we could get near 3 inches of rainfall.  Hopefully, it will all happen now and be nice for the holiday.

Our 9:45 AM temperature is 69°F (21°C), the humidity is 61%, and winds are from the south at 4-9 mph, gusting to 21 mph.  The dew point is 60°F (16°C) and skies are mostly cloudy.  The pressure is 30.04 in (1017.3 mb) and falling.  Visibility is 10 miles.  Yesterday’s high was 72°F (22°C) and the overnight low was 59°F (15°C).  Averages for this date are 78°F / 57°F.  Sunrise was at 5:58 AM and sunset will be at 9:19 PM.
