Juicy atmosphere, conducive to storm development.

It doesn't look like that will extend to here. What else is new

Looks like we're about to get a decent batch of moderate rain. Most of the heavy storms are to my west, but I'll take any rain that I can get.

Rained at my place yesterday. Shame I'm 1,000 miles away

Just had a pretty intense thunderstorm come through. There was cloud-to-ground lightning and some strong wind gusts. A large limb from a pecan tree in the front yard came down. I received 0.78 inches of rain.

It looks like the high pressure ridge is finally eroding over my area. Another strong storm missed me to the east last night.

Those must have been some strong wind gusts. Just noticed where my cucumber cages were blown over and also some other plants. Hopefully they will recover.

Your getting some weather challenges this year huh?

Ive been blessed with lots of dry warmth in beginning, cool rain in middle, no storms, no hail, and no big heat, no floods.

Farmers love Global Warming. Easy to water during drought and warm temps always great. Its the Ice Age they need to worry about. Lol. Sorry had to throw that out there. Get some juices flowin. Global Warming is better for us, they should put Ice Age fear into our minds, thats what would create famine.
