Severe Drought

That's right, it has been a long long time since I last blogged. A slow summer, slow readership, and summer weather so boring you could cut it with a knife has kept me away from here for awhile.

All that said, the seasons will soon be changing, and with a renewed interest over the last weeks by many of my longtime readers, I thought I would break out the old pen and ink and talk a little weather.

After an extended period of scorching mid-90s, the National Weather Service's extended forecast shows temps peaking in the mid to upper 80s over the next week or so which will be much welcomed by many. Sunday (tomorrow) will be even cooler with highs in the 70s and overnight lows dipping into the 50s. That is not to say we have cleared any threat of extended heat waves (we will likely see upper 90s many more times before winter), but with September just around the corner, it's never too early to start talking snow!

Up next: La Nina makes a return, and early forecasts for the coming winter.
