No rain for me today, but there were showers in the area. Looks similar tomorrow. Longer rang is absolutely brutal, especially on the ECMWF. Could be a pretty long stretch of excessive heat coming up. The only good news is big ridges have been moving around this summer, so I doubt it lasts into August or anything.
