Still cloudy here and 66.

We had a surprise with yesterday's storms in the area. Around 9-10pm lightning every 1 second in frequency and had some high wind gusts that resulted in a few trees down. Our power was out until 5pm today. This was one of the last streets to get restored, otherwise I think it should have been a few hours without electricity. 2024 is a loaded year for severe wx reports out here. There was another chance of storms today but everything has been to the south of I-64 this time.

Coolest entrance to a July here in years? Tonight and tomorrow look quite mild. June started in a similar fashion, but will probably end warm.

75 at SEA on the hour and 75 out here. I doubted the ECMWF temps given that it showed left over rain/drizzle well into the day from the trough overnight... but it did end up fairly warm.

I hadn't watched MSNBC for years but had to watch after the debate to see their reaction. They are basically a division of the Democrat party and they don't hide it. Literally the same as Fox News on the other side. I know CNN is biased but at least they have both sides represented in the panel discussions and both sides are given time to make their case. I find that much more informative than the echo chambers of MSNBC and Fox.
