Storms are rolling in

The air is cool, and electric. The thunder is rumbling. My daughter is driving down from Minnesota, so I just texted her about the weather. She left around 7:30 this morning. She will drive carefully. We enjoy having windows open for the breeze. How is the weather for you? Are you getting the rain you need?

Yes, we've gotten some rain on and off over the last two days with more expected over the next two.

INstead of a storm we got a very brief shower then all the bad weather blew on away.

I’m always afraid to try to open my window because I’m not sure I’ll be able to get it completely closed again. Today though isn’t a good day for that anyway with the heat and humidity. By the way Heather, if you’re ever near me again, and I know it isn’t likely you will be, feel free to drop by church some Sunday. We’d love to see you.

It was rumored that we would have rain yesterday, and at one point it looked as if it would start "any minute now" but didn't. In fact, the sun came out about 2pm and was sunny for the rest of the day, but not overly warm. It's 7°C/45°F at 9:34 am and only expected to reach a high of 15°C/59°F. Tomorrow will be warmer, and that warming trend should continue through to Monday with an expected high of 25°/75°. Hope your daughter has a safe drive.

She arrived safely and tired. That is what I expected. We have been in the yard most of today. The storm actually just made a little noise then blew on over.

It seemed only a smattering then the storm blew away. She had good weather all the way down.

No rain forecasted for us. But today it was 82 degrees, and tonight it is supposed to be down in the 40's--a cold wave, the weather guy said. Tomorrow is predicted to be only 72, so won't need air or heat either one--yay!

It's 77F here but I've been hearing thunder since I woke up at 5 pm... I hurried out and mowed the rest of the yard before it rained and I wouldn't be able to mow at all for a few days. We turned the air on when I came in from mowing. We've tried opening the windows but there's no airflow through this house. We really miss the attic fan at the other house. (I'd wear a mask in the house if it meant I didn't need to run the air conditioner.)

Old house, many of my windows will not open, or the cats have torn out the screens. I think an attic fan would be great.

@GardenGerty Old rental house here. Sometime before we rented it, someone broke the kitchen windows out and the replacements didn't fit. I caulked all the way around them and they can't be opened now. (When we moved in, you could hear the wind whistling in around them. We applied to OACAC for window replacements... They have to clear it with the owners before they can do the work.)

We've having another fine spell which is nice but we'll need some rain soon. At least the farmers will. It doesn't really affect us much now.

I know what you mean by that. If it does not rain that just means I fill the birdbath myself.

We need some rain. There isn't any forecast for the next week. We just had our weed bed landscaped; and the plants could use some rain. I hope your daughter had a safe trip.

Her trip was safe and no storm came in, or rather it just blew on by.

We will need to close our windows soon, the breeze is quite cool. Tonight it will get very cool. We usually sleep with our windows closed anyways, it is just too noisy to have them open in the city. I am a very light sleeper. I hope that your daughter arrives soon.

She had a long trip, about twelve hours of driving. She arrived safely and the bad weather blew away.
