Tom Posted August 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 Waking up this morning has that "Autumnal Feel" to it with gusty NNE winds off the lake and a cool 66F. The sounds of water droplets falling off the trees onto my deck reminds me of a wet/cool autumn day. I actually brought out my hoodie for the first time as its sorta chilly and I'm sure I'll be using it the next couple mornings. It's been one of those amazing seasons that have been filled with Rainbows. Our own Barry Butler took this beautiful shot of a double rainbow yesterday. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westMJim Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 There was a heavy but brief shower here yesterday at 730 PM that dropped 0.15" of rain in about 20 minutes. What made this shower even more different was that during most of the time the sun was out. I looked for a rainbow after the shower and there was one but it was not a real good one. At this time it is cloudy and 63 here at my house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstorm83 Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 OAX is forecasting 54 tonight but I wouldnt be surprised if ice box KLNK dips into the upper 40s.

Tom Posted August 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 The temp this morning has gone down to a cool 57F underneath clear skies. The sun's rays have yet to come above the horizon as the morning light continues to extend later each day. I must say, it's very nice to have a cool breeze flowing into my room while sleeping. A few more days to go before the warmth comes back along with precip chances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
