Need Some Boomers To Bring Relief...

We all know our summers are hot & humid and, if we don't get a daily T-Storm, our highs reach well into the 90s.      A couple of showers did bubble up this afternoon, but they stayed west and north of the South Shore.  There is the possibility that a cluster of storms over north Louisiana & Arkansas could drift southward overnight giving us a better chance for some showers Monday & Tuesday.  However, I don't think we'll see any widespread rain chances until late in the week when an upper disturbance settles in over the Gulf South.    Bottom line?  Daily highs 90-95 requiring almost daily watering of your potted plants & gardens.

Typically/historically, we don't have much tropical activity during June & July here.  What is really amazing is the lack of tropical activity worldwide.  No named storms are happening anywhere.  Yea we had the 13 hour storm Andrea (never should have been named)back in May, but since then nothing.  The Weather Channel had a graphic showing the Eastern Pacific is approaching their latest start (July 2nd) ever.  My take?   It must be Climate Change/Global Warming since that is credited with all weather "extremes".   Whatever, a quiet hurricane season is perfectly fine with me, but we will not reach the peak/heart for another 5-6 weeks.  Stay tuned!
