Fabulous day today!

Still very clear in my area so far. As long as the storm waits until at least after the hockey game to kick in (in case of power outage). LOL

It seems crazy that we are supposed to get a thunderstorm today. The weather was fabulous today. Need a day like today next Saturday.

20°C and sunny right now and the same for tomorrow. Then it cools off for Saturday, the day we were going to have a BBQ.

They're talking hail over here on the island but given their record for accurate prediction I'm digging out my sunscreen.

Just took a quick walk to local produce store and now it's definitely cloudy and the air is really heavy. Yup... I'd say it is going to rain here soon.

Yep, the air is definitely getting heavy, a good thunder storm is surely on the way....

Thunder and lightning here in Abby. Good amount of rain so far too.

Just past 8:00pm and not a thing here.....

We had some rain for a short while around 730ish. Nothing too exciting, and only heard light thunder once. Went out on the deck after the rain stopped and the heavy clouds were to the north and northeast. I guess we got lucky and only saw the edge of it.

It's much cooler now and that mugginess isn't hanging in the air anymore which is good!
