Rain, Cool, Cloudy

 We will remain on the cool side today with constant rain, light alternating with heavy. Very wet. Soaking wet, in fact. This is a strange way to enter July. 

Could there be local flooding later? The ground is saturated. 

Rain Last Evening!

 Good experience. Great cloud formations, streaks of lightening, a strike very close I estimate at a ted less than a quarter mile, which is more than close enough. Cool winds, and finally rain. I think we had several showers last night after I went to bed. 50% chance today, tomorrow, and next day. That's very good. Nothing severe in the forecast but maybe dangerous lightening and local flooding. This is a good way to finish June and enter July. 

I've done a lot of work outside lately. I've needed to use mosquito repellant. West Nile has been detected again. 

Swampy

 Warm cloudy and humid conditions with thunderstorm chances continue. Not a lot of sunshine lately. No heat dome for us, at least. More like a continuing stream of moist air. We are doing quite well on rainfall totals. 

Once in a while we actually get to see a GREEN Lubbock! 

MORE Rain!

 It was very muggy yesterday and I got more rain in the afternoon, which was great, and probably more overnight. Now we get a chance to dry out. Lots of sunshine but it won't be especially hot, and that's good. 

Rained Again! In The Dark! In The Night!

 I was really not expecting that. And it seems to have been a fairly good fall of rain at that. It was soggy, it got dry, and now soggy again. 

I've been encountering a lot of trumpsters on short fuses lately. I can't imagine what could be bothering them. They got what they wanted, didn't they? Massive deficits? War? Labor shortages in agribusiness and construction?
