I’m told that last night was pretty noisy.  Thunderstorms moved in around 3 AM, and continued until around 6:30 AM.  I woke at around 6 AM and heard the thunder, but missed the rest of it.  My husband and son both remarked at how loud the thunder was.  I must have been in REM sleep.  Anyway, there was 0.69″ in my gauge, so the newly planted fields got a good soaking.  We could see a few more storms today, and with this heat, I’m sure it’s a good possibility.

Our 1:15 PM temperature is 88°F (31°C), the humidity is 64%, and winds are from the SW at 4-10 mph.  The pressure is 29.92 in (1013.2 mb) and steady, and the dew point is 71°F (22°C).  Visibility is 11 miles.  Yesterday’s high was 87°F (31°C) and the overnight low was 66°F (19°C).  Average temps for this date are 79°F/57°F.  The record high for June 16 is 95°F (35°C) set in 1994, and the record low is 44°F (7°C) set in 1972.  Sunrise was at 5:58 AM, and sunset will be at 9:19 PM.
