And Just Like That, The Heat Wave Was Over

Forecast for yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
I went to bed last night so keyed up about the incoming change in temperature that I had trouble falling asleep. After several impressive rounds of storms the front came through. The first thing I did when I got out of bed was hustle to the thermostat, turn off the air conditioner, then open the condo windows.

Some residual humidity made the air feel sticky, and an early morning walk left me completely drenched. By lunch time the humidity had also started to roll out of the area, leaving nothing but fresh, cool air behind.

  6. This is very nice and I'm thrilled that you all are feeling some temp changes. Us? not so much...I still have hope especially since today is the first day of Fall.

  9. Glad you got a cool down, just in time to celebrate autumn. Our next few days will be in the 90s. Judah has a marching band competition on Saturday in Turlock (that town may sound familiar to you) and I'm hoping his school will perform in the morning, otherwise we may be sitting out in the sun.
