    Outside My Window ~ 7.8.2012

    Outside my window…is an evening inching towards completion.  At a little past 10:00 p.m. we have cloudy skies…a fairly steady wind from the north at 14 mph.  It is currently 81°F but feels like 84°F.  Our forecast low for this evening is 75°F with a 50% chance of thunderstorms….a few may be severe.  Our forecast high for tomorrow is our current “feels like” temperature, 84°F…and even though I’m sure the humidity is going to be fairly high, it will feel cooler than the past several days when our heat index has been 109°F to 115°F.   I’m hoping some of the forecast rain materializes this week….after all this heat things…

    Outside My Window ~ 7.18.10

    Outside My Window…is a balmy 80ºF at 9:30 this morning.  Factor in the dew point, it feels like 84ºF.  I went out a little while ago to give some of the more vulnerable plants an early morning drink and it didn’t feel to bad.  It will get hotter with a forecast high of 97º with a slight chance of thunderstorms.  I have given up on the slight chances.  We had a slight chance yesterday…..we had dark storm clouds yesterday….we had thunder yesterday….and we had barely any rainfall yesterday.  Barely enough to disturb the dust on the cars.  This is just sad….there were some dark clouds that looked as if they…
