Today will be very warm with highs expected to reach the mid 80s  We had scattered thunderstorms develop across the state late yesterday, and there was a lot of thunder, but not much rain . . . . . at least not here where I am.  There is no more rain in the forecast until late Monday, and it’s just a slight chance.  Tuesday could be a stormy one for us, and we are already being warned.  What’s interesting is that there were 589 lightning strikes on my weather station from yesterday, and all we got was a few sprinkles.
