And the rain came down … best I can determine, from a total of very little to about a quarter of an inch, to over an inch, maybe more based on location … All welcomed … A beautiful sight … Hopefully more over the coming hours…
Probably too late for some crops … but welcomed … and, no doubt, no rain in some areas…
Yesterday’s high temp at the local weather station, a hot 96 degrees … in the early p.m. time frame…
Overnight, temps in the mid to upper 70s…
Wednesday’s forecast … A chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 10 a.m. Partly sunny with a high near 96. Heat index values as high as 106 and a 60% chance of precipitation…
Tonight … A chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 4 a.m. Partly cloudy, with a low around 76. Chance of rain is 30% … Thursday … showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 10 a.m. … High near 80 … Chance of precipitation is 60% … Thursday night and Friday … good chance of precipitation … in the 80% range…
The rain came, hopefully more … and the sooner the better … It was a beautiful sight…
Thankful for every drop…
Now, back to a normal day … Vacationers at the local lakes and in the downtown Elizabethtown area … mostly in restaurants, in and out of local retail outlets … All are welcomed.
I guess we forget how hot it gets in July and August … in the area…
Political activity at the national level … wide open … less so at the state and local level … Elections still several weeks away…
Locally, many businesses have staffing issues.
I travel by some of the fishing holes known to draw sportsmen over the years … few if any visitors … Maybe I am judging based on long, long ago…
