It’s a waterlogged night following a wet & gloomy #Monday. However, this 🌧️ is much needed, and it will continue steadily into tomorrow with a front sagging into the area and shortwaves traveling along it to enhance 🌧️.

Rain chances will return on Tuesday night and for the rest of the week, which will bring highs down slightly into the low 90s and upper 80s, but with the high humidity, head indices will be soaring.

Back home, you don’t need me to tell you it’s been hot and humid. Today continues a stretch of days through Tuesday with highs expected in the mid to upper 90s, and there’s little relief in sight, as well.

I’ve been quiet on here, lately, as I’ve been working on getting my residence prepared for much needed rennovations. Add to that the air conditioner has gone out, and arranging repairs has been…interesting.
