    Outside My Window ~ 8.11.2013

    Outside my window…are the gathering storm clouds.  They have actually been gathering since about 7:30 this morning.  There was sunshine while I walked Turbo but the clouds were beginning to build and gather.  There are mostly cloudy skies with a temperature of 83°F.  Factor in the 71% humidity and it feels like 88°F.  Our forecast high for today is 85°F.  Fortunately there is a small breeze that makes it a bit more bearable outside.  We have a 60% chance of thunderstorms beginning around sunset tonight and lasting throughout the evening.  It is one of those days that seems like the air is simmering until it finally must rain.  The coming week…
