Sunday June 18th Happy Father's Day The sky is overcast this morning, but there's hardly any rain in the forecast. Instead it's acting like a thick woolen blanket to hold the heat down on the ground. And it's still in a bang-up job because it's very very warm and muggy.…
Thursday June 15th Stepping out the door this morning, the heated advisory slapped me in my face. It's already hot, it's already humid and the sun isn't even over the horizon yet. Just look at the dew point.. 78°. The Eastern horizon is just a wall of haze. Pale pink…
