After recent, massive “heat dome” events in Europe, Africa, the US East Coast and Midwest (and probably dozens of other places), it’s apparently now going to be the turn of the US Southwest. As in, “us.”
Upper 90’s and triple digits (35º to 40º C) for the next week, and it’s probably not going to be that “dry heat” that we’re always bragging about. More like that “Florida swamp-ass” heat.
We dodged any rain today, but radar was showing a huge line of rain from the San Diego suburbs, up over Palm Springs, all the way to Lake Havasu in Arizona.
All we got was some beautiful, high, textured, lumpy clouds, with a few spots of virga (rain that you can see falling, but it evaporates before it hits the ground).
Tomorrow our odds of rain are up to about 25%, but I still don’t think we’ll be lucky enough to actually get any. We shall see!
