I will be sharing some incredible footage from last night by one of our neighbors later today, as I want to include it in its own post, separate from this morning update. For now, we're in the process of seeing our upper low system to our west "open up" and weaken with time. This means that without any disturbances moving through like we had yesterday, showers and storms should be farther and fewer between. We can expect large lulls in activity today, but isolated to scattered showers and storms will develop into tomorrow with steady highs in the 75-80º range, lows in the 60s, and a humid air mass. Humidity should persist into Thursday when drier air will be starting to reduce our humidity into Friday, which is a day when dewpoints should only make it into the 50s under mostly sunny skies. The next disturbance that brings back the humidity may take until Sunday to get here, or we may re-humidify and get more showers back in here by Saturday evening and night, I will have to update this piece. Hopefully we should get some more sunshine in here by early next week, but a generally unsettled and humid pattern looks to persist into early July. Have a great day! >>> BE KIND <<< “Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies: Goddamn it, you've got to be kind.” --Kurt Vonnegut
