Another warm and humid day today. Currently it is 89/82. Ugghh, I hate high dew points. The local met said that so far this summer, it has been the 2nd most humid summers in 17 years.

The good thing about hot, miserable , summers is that it usually equates to a cold snowy winter! Alot of the 80s had brutally hot summers, but seems like most of the 80s winters, have us 2-3 real snows!

I'm tired of breaking records like these  :(

Unbelievable the flooding pictures coming out of the Tampa Bay area today. My brother and family live in Palm Harbor, not too far from the evacuation area. SIL posted earlier today that the water from the Gulf was already up to the top of the seawall. Rain runoff has no where to go.

We have what I like to call "Jimmy Buffett" skies to the East and Southeast. The forecast says just a 20% chance today, but maybe we'll get lucky.

The skies have been like that almost every day for the last week and we haven't gotten anything. Local weather mets saying Thursday and Friday should see an increase in storms.

We are getting Anti-Ninod. Lake Norman is at 95% of 98% and is 92 degrees. So like a bubble bath loosing water every second.

The Catawba-Wateree River Basin is in a Stage 1 drought condition. The community is asked to be mindful of its water use and consider conserving energy which also saves water. Residents who use water from a Duke Energy lake for lawn irrigation are asked to limit watering to Tuesdays and Saturdays. Updated lake levels are available any time at www.Duke-Energy.com/lakes or press or by calling 800-829-5253. As always, we encourage those living along lakes, streams and other low-lying and flood-prone areas to pay special attention to changing weather conditions and take any necessary precautions. We will provide additional updates if conditions change.
