Today’s Featured image is another from Thursday afternoon at my rain gauge site, looking east.

Still dry with mostly sunny skies – first time since last Friday. The air was still humid, but not
as humid as it has been the past five days with the constant cloudiness, frequent rain, light
fog, drizzle that keep the air temperatures and dew point temperatures just about the same
(usually 1° from each other). I was outside for a while in the early afternoon, and it was
reasonably pleasant in the shade on a bench.

During the day on Thursday, we had mostly sunny skies, warm and humid,
but dry with our first rain-less day since Friday, July 20.

Dew point temps ranged from a high of 74° @ 1114 to a low of 66° @ 1823.

Monthly precipitation held at 7.57″ today, with year-to-date values
holding at 29.84″.

This brief “dry spell” stands about a 40% chance of ending at one
day with a 40 POP for PM thunderstorms on Friday. After a weekend
dry respite, thunderstorms are being forecasted next week, starting
with a 40 POP on Monday and 60 POP for Tuesday, to finish out a
very wet July in typical style with potentially even more rain.
