Still very hot and humid I have not shut my a/c's off since Tuesday. Hurricane Bob could affect part of Massachusetts on Sunday.

It was just under 80 today. The air is so humid right now, it's repulsive. We are supposed to have a big thunderstorm later.

We had a humdinger of a thunderstorm last evening. Today is humid and cloudy. Dfen, I saw the difference in the weather on the game last night. Speaking of the game...WTH is happening to our beloved Red Sox?lol

They've said that thunderstorms are imminent for today. S ofar it looks pretty decent out. But we had a tornado on Thursday night - during BB. At least 2 of my pals were in a blackout due to powerfailures. We were lucky and our power stayed on. One of those pals called me to ask who got booted.

Dakota and my niece's softball team had a car wash today. So of course it was overcast and sprinkled for about an hour, lol. After that though it cleared up a little and got hot. Me and Kota are fried, and that is with sunscreen going on several times today!

cooler today (high 90s) - we're predicted to only be in mid 80s next wk. That will be a relief.

Triple digit temps here, super dry, a little breeze, and yep, wildfires all around. It is absolutely nasty here. We've got smoke blanketing most of the valley and have had for two days. We're in no danger of the fire itself, but the smoke and poor air quality sucks. Sis was in the ER today and said they had tons of patients in for breathing problems. Dakota's used her nebulizer twice today, hasn't used it in several months, and still sounds like crap (sinuses are also bothering her.) My aunts doing pretty good, but she hasn't had to go outside, has kept her doors and windows shut and has only run the cooler through the hottest part of the day (she's fine with the fans.)

Exact opposite here - we're heading for the coldest Aug. 29 in Michigan history, and we're in the middle of a 5-day string where temps won't even get out of the 60s. Shoot, we didn't even REACH 60 yesterday, but hovered around 58 all day. I wish I could send you some of our rain and some cooler temps for relief!

55 degrees, cloudy, breezy, damp/rainy, achy bones type cold! Oh, and it's very dark, too. (sounds close to Teach's weather) I would be glad to share this with the people suffering in the heat. Actually, I prefer this to high heat and humidity. Hurricane Danny(?) is passing by the coast today, and that is affecting us, so it is supposed to be more seasonable tomorrow.

Wow, ya'll are really cool! It's hot and a bit breezyy today. We're getting the smoke from the Station fire. About 11 this morning, everything outside looked orange (even the sun was dark reddish orannge) because of the smoke. We decided it'd be better to spend the day inside when ash started falling! Now 4 hours later and it's clearing a little bit, no more ash, it's just yucky brown smoke. I let Kota go to a birthday party for a friend and let her mom know that she was having sinus and asthma issues (luckily, she has a kid with asthma too so no worries there, they know what to do.)

We're ok here. Smoke cleared up quite a bit overnight but I think we'll have some of it back later since they're expecting higher winds. Sadly two firefighters died yesterday. The Station fire doubled in size overnight and is still only 5% contained and I heard on the radio this morning they are expecting the water dropping planes today. link I'm worried about Wienermr. Acton was getting hit pretty hard last night and I heard they were having mandatory evacuations. We're about 20 miles from them and I think? he's closer than we are.

Yep, and the scary thing is this fire is this huge and it's not being fanned by high winds. That's kind of unusual. Heard on the radio a while ago that the super scooper planes are here, but they can't fly them because there is so much smoke. They've got to wait til it clears up a bit before they can start flying and dumping water.
