Wednesday

It's Recyclables Day!

54.3 and sunny!

On Wednesday, it should be similarly nice, with highs in the mid 80s and a large amount of sunshine. As a weak disturbance approaches later in the day, there could be a stray shower or storm, primarily north of Utica. From Wednesday night into Friday, increasingly warm, more humid air will be building into the area. With that, we will have a chance of storms, basically at anytime. While most of the time will be dry, we will be watching for a few leftover complexes of showers and storms from the Upper Lakes to drop in. Otherwise, the weather will continue pleasant into Thursday, with highs soaring into the upper 80s. By the time we get to Friday, we will be firmly entrenched in a hot, humid midsummer air mass. This means temperatures near 90 for Friday and Saturday, along with plenty of humidity. There is a chance of isolated storms both days, with most areas remaining dry.

Six months ago, this was our forecast ............

In yesterday's mail:
a suggestion for all of you who love mowing lawns!
Thank you, Celine!

I also received an answer about this weekend's Softball Tournament, and have passed the information along, and I received another nice long letter - more reminiscences - from Tim Tarbox in Arkansas. I don't know whether he intended to have me publish it here, or not, so will ask his permission before I do!

It took 15 innings for the AL to top the NL 4-3 in the All-Star Game last night!

I'll have much more time to be out and around, today, so there should be plenty of pictures tomorrow!

Have a good one!!!
