How's your weather?

Been getting warmer by the day here. Monday was 49, yesterday 64 and today is 66. It did rain some last night.

Humid! Up to 96%... yesterday was a sticky 80 by 2 pm.

Rain coming tonight, so I have to re-tarp some of my roof.

What used to be a piece of cake 10 years back is now kinda scary, much as I hate to admit it, and my excessive caution is really dragging the job out.

Ach well. Somebody's got to do it.   

EDIT: And now it's raining, when the forecast said zero chance of rain until 2AM tomorrow.

The rain that wasn't supposed to be here until early tomorrow stopped for a while while I went to get more tarps for the roof, but no sooner was I back up there, it started again.

S'okay though, 'cause the battery in the screwgun went dead just as I got the corners staked on the last one, so while it was charging I cleaned the gutter in the imaginary rain.

Soooooo...I'm pretty well soaked with liquid sunshine, fixin' to get back up there in a few as soon as the current downpour eases up and the battery is charged.

Gots to nail down the edges of the tarps before the wall of rain that's coming on radar but wasn't supposed to be here until tomorrow morning gets here.

Kinda miffed, 'cause everything up there was pretty dry, and I'd intended to do a very thorough job of tarping TODAY to get me through the winter.

No dice.

Fun day.

Well, looks like a weak cold front went through overnight, but we didn't get much rain...and just enough in the afternoon to play jello with my roof tarping project.

Today's forecast is 80% chance of thunderstorms this afternoon, but looking at the NWS live radar and temps, it looks like another weak cold front will indeed be moving through (it's over Memphis right now) but precip where it is now is just light sprinklege.

So here's Bill's forecast: because I don't see a lot of potential for atmospheric heating this afternoon, I'm forecasting no thunderstorms, but maybe some localized light to moderate rain.

It's only 75F now here, and afternoon t-storms are usually the result of PM heat buildup plus high humidity, assuming they're not driven by a front moving through.

The humidity's there right now...90%...and there's a weak cold front on the way...so we'll just have to wait and see if I can get it as wrong as a bunch of computer models being interpreted by highly trained meteorologists did yesterday..
