Meh, it's getting slightly better. It's still cloudy, but it's not raining for once and it's not freezing cold, just chilly. But it's disgustingly muggy, despite the relatively temperatures. Really, not a nice day.
The last two days were very cool. Yesterday, when I went outside at 7PM to smoke my stogie, it was COLD. About 66 and it dropped to 62 by 9PM when I was done. However, today was very warm and humid. About 88 with high humidity. It's going to get hotter and more humid over the next few days. It sucks, but at least I had two full days of cool summer weather.
We FINALLY have some rain. Been in a really really bad drought pretty much since last year. Very low on precipitation through the winter, spring, and summer. Well today its finally raining and raining a lot.
Morning hours (thunder woke me at around 8 in the morning) we had strong rain and thunder. By 10 in the morning it was winding down, just been cloudy since.
The rain helped the other day but we are still in a massive nationwide drought. Price of everything is going up with no relief in sight.
A double-barreled dose of bad news came out Thursday: Not only did the drought worsen over the last week, but it's likely to widen and intensify through the end of October, according to the seasonal outlook prepared by government forecasters.
Nearly 81 percent of the contiguous U.S. was "abnormally dry" or in drought.
Forecasters have called the drought the most widespread since 1956, though 1988 was worse in terms of crop losses due to an extremely dry year for the Midwest.
Large parts of the USA still in the 100's, and I'm complaining that 93 F is too hot - our record high today (and new for the day). I'm comfortable this week, mid to high 70's cloudy mornings, sunny afternoons

Our storm seems to have come in a little late. No rain last night like predicted, but it's raining hardcore this morning. Lots of flooding, as you can see by the large yellow/red area right over town with the flash flood warning box around it...
