Thursday July 27th The overnight low bottomed out at 73°. That's almost unheard of for this summer. The forecasted high is still at 96° though. And the chance of rain is below 20%... My procrastination has caught up with me and I need to get my car in and get…

Sunday Evening After the storm.
Sunday July 23rd Mother nature put on a hell of a light show last night. A rather large thunderstorm moved south along the east side of Galveston Bay after dark yesterday. We could see the lightning flashes in the sky while the storm was still to the north of Kingwood.…
Saturday July 22nd I am late for my morning coffee. I just couldn't pull myself out of bed this morning. It's just as well, nothing has changed.. it's hot.. it's humid.. it's summer. Just a bit of change this morning. I switched the above graphic from my Weather Underground app…

Friday July 14th There is just a slight haze hugging the ground this morning. It's not thick enough to be fog. Basically, it's just the 97% humidity. And when you add that humidity to the dew point of 78° our temperature of 79° feels much warmer. So needless to say,…
Thursday July 13th It's another one of those glass fogging mornings when stepping out on the back porch covers your glasses with a layer of condensation that takes three tries to wipe off. The first thing that greeted my eyes when I picked up my phone was another excessive heat…

Saturday July 1st Wow, it almost feels like a midsummer morning out there.. The temperature is 77°.. The dew point is 75°.. and the humidity while high is 94%. All of which means it's hazy out this morning. But it's not severely warm. But it's the weekend, and weekends are…
Friday June 30th While my weather app is saying it's 80° out, my back porch indoor/outdoor thermometer is telling me it's 78° and so is my cell phone. Whatever the temperature, it's warm.. but.. not as warm and not as oppressively hot feeling as last week. And, if you believe…
