Greetings and welcome!
It was another hot and juicy day today. Most area weather stations reported high temperatures in the low 90s. There was plenty of humidity too. There was a lot of mist in the trees on the way to work this morning.
The sun and warm juicy day tried to whip up some thunderstorms, but couldn’t get anything going beyond a quick local shower or downpour. As soon as the clouds started getting higher to form a thunderstorm, winds at the mid-levels would blow the tops off before anything could get rolling. We did have some really impressive and majestic clouds, but they just couldn’t get an organized storm going.
Tomorrow we are expecting more hot and juicy August weather, but the story ends a little differently. Later tomorrow we are expecting a cold front and some possibly strong showers and thunderstorms. That same cold front is expected to keep us in pleasant weather right through the weekend with upper 70s for daytime high temperatures and mid-50s at night.
That is a good thing, we have only a few weekends left before Labor Day and some good events ahead. Here is Chris’ list..

The word on the street is that the Bear Point float trip was huge last weekend. That had to be fun.
Next weekend is a really big weekend for events throughout the area. I will work on a comprehensive list.
I found out this week that we have some new people running the Caldron Falls Bar. Stop in to meet Leslie and Dan and see what is new. They also own Smokin’ Q, and barbecue catering business, and they will be having smoked baby back ribs Saturday nights, complete with homemade sauces. Sounds delicious!
Have a good weekend and thank you for visiting!
