Thanks TS Harold!

No triple digit temps today....at least not where I am. Cloud cover will do that but doubt we'll get any rain from it since it's too far south. The local news is sure hyping it up though. Geez. 45 mph sustained breeze with maybe 60 mph gusts and the news cast is acting like it's a hurricane. The important part is the rain could be more of a threat to low lying areas but the area where the storm is going in is dry just like my area is.

Damn near the entire state of Texas is low lying areas! It’ll hit hip here today, 103.

The weather's been weird here lately also. It's hot, but the heat index is stupid high, be safe!

Perfect day here:

Oh man....lots of high ground in Texas but nothing along the coast!

Cranky, I know your forward thinking but posting on an open forum thanking a TS????

Seasonably mild here...

I kind of like what the tropical storm/hyped hurricane Hilary
did here, 85* in mid-late August is mostly unheard-of
a lil' rain too, cooled everything off, less fire hazard
humidity sucks, even at 45%-55%, norm is more like 20%-25%
& nearer to 100* until mid Sept. at least

not sure we will get any effects or Harold...

I wish the thing had come straight through the Houston area and know that there are many others that think the same thing! That TS was just a puff of wind to us. Haven't had a drop of rain at my place in nearly 2 months and the last rain delivered 1/8". The temp today only hit 95* because it was cloudy from the TS which is the normal high and it felt nice. Today would have been the 24 day (iirc) in a row to have 3 digit temps. Day before yesterday was 108 and further north about 40 miles was 113 and some places not too far up were even higher.

Texas hill country?

900-2400ft that's a bump in otherwise flat lands...

Dry?? Everything is dying it's so dry! I'll let you know how much my water bill is pretty soon and the lawn still has dead spots in it. Even the trees are stressed.

Yeah I know. Most of us old timers were taller back in the day.
