Cloud cover overhead from incoming storms (whether I get rain or not is a big IF). 

Think I'm done climbing temps for today.

Max 99.5, highest observed heat index was 112 (I got the 115 figure from a second obs nearby, but I'll throw that out as an outlier).

LOL east moving thunderstorms almost in the same place as yesterday moving my way.  I fully expect them to fade right as they arrive like yesterday and for the front to go thru dry tomorrow.  What will come though is beautiful temps from Sunday thru most of next week.  It's gonna be nice!  Get those grills ready

I dunno. I see a bunch of yellow severe storm warning boxes popping up west of 81. Looks like a firehose of storms may be headed our way. At least today looks a lot better than yesterday.

It's the higher elevations from my SW all the way around to NE.  Thunderstorms moving west to east typically split or fade right as they drop down over my area, then recover and reform just to my east.  Happens over and over and so it takes a fluke to get a TS here.  I've had one so far this summer.  We do fine during the 5-6 months of 30 to 50s and rain from November to April

OK so that one one in SW Mont Co is moving NE -- that gives me a better chance as  down-sloping doesn't kill those as much as the W-E movers.  No hail though please!  Just give me the business with rain

Perfectly positioned between cells blowing up south of winchester and ones crushing front royal.   The tail of the one south of winchester back built just enough as it's leaving to get me .10".  It's a joke, but it's the best we've had in a while, and apparently the best we can hope for.  Now listening to the thunder booming.

Storm moving in now

I hope whoever is at Schaeffer Farms right now has mud tires.
