Wet for our Neighbors













Our neighbors to the west are in for some stormy weather on this Tuesday. A cold front currently located from Duluth to Minneapolis to Omaha is kicking up numerous showers and a few thunderstorms over a large cross section of the upper Midwest. This general area is under a slight risk of severe weather, but some thick cloud cover is keeping temperatures down a bit. Additional daytime heating may in fact be needed to spark a couple severe thunderstorms. I would expect this event to produce some isolated cases of severe weather, but I wouldn't expect a widespread outbreak. The main threat will come from damaging winds if a squall line begins to congeal.

For us ahead of this front, we will continue to feel the influx of heat and moisture off of the Gulf of Mexico. Winds will continue to gust to near 25 mph out of the south this afternoon, which might actually feel good since heat indices will be jumping into the low 90s. -ADAM

I wish and hope the rain did make it here. It looks like we could use some more rain, our grass in the front and back yard is starting to turn brown again.

It's pretty dry again. I agree with Tony, we need some rain.

Yes, a viewer, Curt said his lawn is beginning to crunch like "Doritos." That made me laugh. -ERIC
