Temperatures will be much nicer this week with the high wednesday looking to be around 85 with lows in the lower 60’s what a difference a week can make. Still no solid rain chances during the next 3-5 days but maybe something can popup and settle the dust. In other news we are starting to pack for our trip to Bonaire. We leave july 10th and return the 18th for a week long diving trip.

Another strong lines of storms have moved through the area bringing with it more rain to the already swollen river basin’s While our area was out of the direct hit of the storms counties to our North were not so fortunate. Widespread wind damage has occured from Carbondale thorugh Harisrburg leaving a path of damage to more Trees, Houses, Car and a few Schools reporting winds blown out and roof damage as well. Carbondale had a 106 mph wind gust While Marion IL Airport reported 89 mph. still some uncertanity if anything can reform after we are reheated with the sun that is currently shining over the area

While it has been a nice change to see some milder weather in the past few days that is about to Change, There looks to be a high chance of rain tonight while some of these rain showers could be accompanied by some severe storms it doesn’t look like things are shaping up to be a big outbreak but we can’t rule out the possibility of the occasional spin up of a storm to severe levels. While I think the biggest threat will be Hail there come be a few isolated tornado reports. On the back side of this system we could see some snow in the Saturday/Sunday time frame while it doesn’t appear to be allot it could turn the ground white once again but shouldn’t cause any major problems. Will be heading out of town on Tuesday for Norman OK for a severe weather conference hopefully all will be quiet while I am away.
