We've now gone 32 consecutive days without rain (the record is 51, set in 1951.) This morning it's the real kind of cloudy, not that marine overcast that burns off by mid-morning. Still, there's only a 20% chance of showers in Seattle. The rain will be on the coast and in the foothills. It sure would be nice to wet things down and freshen up the mole repellent.
As you've seen on the news with the tragic stories, this is monsoon season in the desert southwest. The National Weather Service in Las Vegas reported 0.55" of rain during just one thunderstorm this week. That's more rain than the Pacific Northwest has seen since early June.
Speaking of Vegas, I'm looking forward to my trip on Sunday-- I'll be staying until Thursday. It will be hot of course, but Dad and I will get outdoors in the nice early morning hours. And of course, my favorite lunch spots! Las Vegas is starting to feel like a second home. Thank you Marji, sorry to miss you this time around but hope you have a wonderful time in Colorado.
