My son was at a church lock-in all night and said it "poured hard" there so the city may have gotten more rain than we did our here in the country. |

A bank of clouds was coming up in the west and northwest last night so we thought we'd get a shower but alas, we did not. Finally getting summer temperatures. |

I was in town yesterday when raindrops fell on the windshield of my truck. As far as I know, that was the sum total of our "rain". |

I don't know what the humidity rate is outside but I've sweated through my clothes doing chores...and it's only 89 degrees. |

Not much more than a trace in the gauge. And it feels like late September this morning. |

My grandmother would have said yesterday was "hotsy-totsy". I took two showers and soaked through three sets of clothes! Reminded me of the deep South. |

Gonna be a hot one today but since it's the first time we've hit 100 degrees since May, I'm not complaining! |

Surprised to hear rain early this morning but very grateful to get it since we are to have July-type temps for the next week. Crazy! |

Drove through hail and high winds between Udall and Winfield, then watched what later became a tornado-producing super cell in far eastern Cowley County. This amount came in several waves, beginning last night around 8:00, then again sometime early this morning. |

Noticed for the first time this morning that annual sunlight streaming down the hallway has begun. To me, this means the Earth is shifting into its winter mode. Much cooler this morning. |

Predictions of rain for later in the week. I guess we are still dry. |

At 6 PM we drove through a brief shower in town, enough to turn on the wipers, but once we got home, one mile north of town, the storm had gone on east. We were dry. But later that night, early this morning, we did get a real rain. |
