10:30 am=90f Can we please cancel the rest of the day? I have a feeling the 100f forecast for today will be a distant memory by 5pm(normally our hottest part of the day this time of year). I'm starting to wonder about rain even in 2012 at the rate we are going now.

I guess I should have kept my fingers off the keyboard!!
And we are at 91F at 10:50am today. I will say no more.

edit(11:00am)-Now at 93f and the forecast for today is 103F!!! UGH!!!

That seems to be what they are predicting for this afternoon. Hopefully the rain will be more widespread than it was yesterday. Unfortunately with the set up it is more likely that the storms could go severe. I guess we have to take the good with the bad. We ended up with a whole 0.06" here at the house. My daughter in Copperfield had none.

It's already 98° here. Gonna be another toasty day!

101F at IAH and my house at 1:00PM. CU's are developing rather quickly now so it shouldn't be too much longer before showers/storms pop.

Storms have blown up all around me, even has clouded up from the cirrus blowoff and I can hear thunder but not a drop! I'm holding out hope we will still get a storm later as it's not even 3pm yet but good grief please let it rain! Last significant rain (more than a simple ground wetting) was May 3rd!!!

I'm in a Severe Thunderstorm Warning. Come on, storms! It's getting really dark outside and I'm hearing lots of thunder. It looks good on radar... just hoping it doesn't fall apart and miss me! That's usually what happens.

I'm hoping to have something to tell my future grandchildren about... "I remember the day it rained in 2011"

Once she gets power back I'm sure she will fill us in, but from what I got from Dave on fb she got a couple of inches of rain, hail, and high winds with some damage in her area. Me? Another 105f day with no rain, just a lot of tease. Cloud cover has cooled us down to a freezing 88F.

Okay it really isn't funny but you sure ended my work day with lots of

Come summer you folks should really migrate North (well some years...however when we hit 120F temp combined with dewpoint a few years ago I'm positive it was much nicer down there).
