    I don't think they know, LOL. So they are saying 50% chance of rain. Better chance in the afternoon. Possibly heavy rain at times. Maybe. Where is that confused smiley....:confused:

    I heard a couple thousand were without power after that Microburst. Did you see that metal roof it ripped off that apartment complex? Impressive strength in the wind.

    We had rain on and off for two days (yesterday and today). And she is 61 degrees right now. Good sleeping weather. One of the guys this morning said "summer just needed to take a breather".
    Suppose to be in the mid 70"s tomorrow and lot of sunshine.

    Wind is picking up here now. Dark clouds rolling in slowly. May be a real down pouring storm. Let's hope the winds don't get high.

    I would not start a big fire until it was raining. I started it and it burned like crazy for a while. Now the rain is doing it in. :(

    I was hoping to re-pile the fire to get it burned up. Not happening. It is pouring.

    It seems to be blowing from Southwest to Northeast. I think it's big enough. You'll get it soon! LOFL

    Its been on and off light rain, but the heavy chit is knocking on our door. NWS issued a flash flood watch until 11 pm. Rains in excess of 2" an hour possible.

    Should liven up the yard a bit!
