How's The Weather By You?

Was overcast this morning, but the sun is out right now. I think they are calling for more rain tomorrow. The good thing is the grass is lovely and green! The bad thing is it is growing too fast so lots of mowing.....

Grass here no longer lovely and green but still seems to grow into dried out fire tinder. Makes the costal hills golden but, constant weed eating and mowing going on for good reason...
 
TWHRider: Tornado warnings must be terrifying! I've never been through one and hope I never am.

Overcast this morning, calling for rain later this afternoon. Pretty drab day.
 

TWH....glad you dodged that bullet yesterday. Tornados seem to be especially nasty this year...we are sitting in a bowl with hills all around us, so I have maybe a false sense of security also.

The weather is heating this week 96 today and higher for the rest of the week. Looks like our wonderful spring weather is over. I am so not looking forward to the heat and especially the humidity.
 
Hot and dry in my neck of the woods, lawns and fields are brown, thunderstorms only bring dry lightening and wind, temps near 100. :sunshine:

Dangerous fire combination. Hope things stay in check. We're having fires around the state and see that Colorado is in trouble, too.
 
Was wonderfully sky blue this morning and calm. Then, high clouds moved in and turned the sky a solid gray. While looking up at it, a beautiful hawk glided by low. Wasn't the usual red-tail. Have seen similar type in a group of three sitting in a tree near the house. High clouds moved out leaving wispy cirrus around blue sky. Nice temps.

It was 72 degrees at 5:30 AM:(

The dew point will reach into the 70's today, so that 95 degrees will "feel like" somewhere over 100 and that moist air will be stifling to say the least.

Oh Happy Day - not:(

The humidity is the worst. I've spent a lot of time in humid places and it can just be overwhelming. YUK! Sorry to hear you are swimming in it.
 
Sure enough. The thick fog burned off leaving beautiful blue sky and pleasant temps in low 70s. Prevailing wind has not yet arrived so afternoon should be excellent, too. My son flew in for a meeting in San Francisco. While we chatted on the phone, he said it was a perfect day in The City.
 
We visited Monterey Bay in 57 while stationed at Camp Roberts. Are the seals still there? Back then there were a lot of them right off the docks. For some reason I remember Salinas and I think there was a prison there. Sugar beets were the big harvest. Huge sugar farms dotted the countryside.

I'm glad I remember Monterey Bay in the '50's. So much nicer, then. Yes, Pappy, the seals and sea lions are still packing the docks and barking for your return. Sometime ago, they actually became a major problem on the boat docks and some even sunk a sailboat! Salinas, the home of John Steinbeck, is now the heart of Los Serenos y Los Nortenos gang insanity. Not a nice place. The prison where they all belong is in Soledad nearby. Still a huge agricultural region, though with many a delicious fruit and vegetable bounty.

Have you ever had occasion to visit Paso Robles? Spanish name El Paso de Robles ( the pass of the oaks) We lived on 10th Ave. for a while and then in a house we rented furnished for 45 dollars a month. My first son was born in Paso. We enjoyed visiting the Monisteries (sp) up and down the Rt. 101 highway.

Ah yes, it was Soladad prison. What a shame it has turned out that way. Several NYS cities have or are meeting the same faith. Gangs are very prominent in some places. Even to this day, I still miss that area we were in.

Ahhh, Paso Robles. Well known today for it's vineyards. $45/month . . . I, too, have the same memories. But, then, it was a tough drain on my income at the time. When I was first married, my wife and I passed on a nice little cottage along the cliffs that was going for $50K. We were looking at $35K tops . . . !
 
It's a HOT summer here in Houston and humidity is so high.... but this is what is NORMAL here.

Feel so badly for all the extreme weather events hitting all over the country.

Was watching the Weather Channel (one of my favorites) last night and concerned about the intense line of severe weather moving across the eastern half of the US. As I recall when I've been in those areas, a nice summer rain or regular ol' thunderstorm can be fun. But, this stuff is just plain dangerous.
 
I think the best place to be for anyone who is in the middle of 'wide open spaces' ... to is go find a mountain range, and park yourself at the base. .. SE side. No?

I'm thinking the center of the US will resemble the interior of Australia in time if this keeps up.

Fog earlier pulled back leaving gray skies overhead. Sun tried breaking through periodically but doubt it will be successful. Temp high 60s with pretty light wind. Some silly forecasters on radio and tv are calling for chance of rain but weather sites I'm checking don't show it. Watch them show me wrong . . .
 
Marine layer at about 1,200 feet with fog slowly pulling back to the water. Nice temps should rise to low 70s and none of that silly forecasted rain. Not much swell with 20 knot winds on the outer bay.
