An early morning run to the grocery store to pick up items on the "Early Bird Sale" got me to the checkout with 6 pounds of butter, 2 quarts of ice cream, a gallon of milk and some oregano. There's an Italian recipe in here somwhere. Anyway, while at the checkout I was asked by the checker if there really was going to be a big dust storm today? She said that she heard it from her sister yesterday that we would be under 7 and a half inches of dust and dirt by the end of the day (okay...that might have been a small stretch of the truth). I assured her that it just wasn't going to happen, but we probably will see a little blowing dust in the air this afternoon due to increasing winds during the day. It is already a little breezy. That calmed her fears and made her feel better about life, just another service offered free of charge from "The Blogger".
Temperatures will still be above average by a good 10 degrees today under a partly to mostly sunny sky. This afternoon's high temperature will be about 78 degrees, with the wind from the west to southwest at 15 to 25 miles per hour, gusts will occasionally go a little higher. The wind and the dry weather has raised the fire danger to a critical level, resulting in employees of local TV news operations to go into uncontrolled conniptions. Nothing sparks panic more than yelling fire in a crowded newsroom! The winds will die down tonight and Sunday should be another beautiful day. It will be a little cooler, but still nice, with an afternoon high temperature of about 70. By the middle of next week we are in for a major weather change, and the sunny, warm and dry will be replaced by the cool, cloudy and wet. From Wednesday through Friday daytime temperatures will have a hard time getting out of the 50s.
