Another July cold front
Posted: Tue Jul 27, 2004 4:18 pm
Another July cold front moved through yesterday and it is noticeably drier outside but not really "cool" as it is late July. Maybe this means an early fall ? 
. Anyway normal rain chances return tomorrow so hopefully we can get some good storms because it's drying out around here.
