10 AM MDT, Saturday, July 28, 2018

I was away for 9 days and it’s nice to see that nature watered the yard and took the edge off the local fire danger while I was gone. We have a couple more days with below-average daytime temperatures and above-average atmospheric moisture before a drier trend sets in Monday afternoon or Tuesday.

Saturday through Monday morning should feature occasional cloudy intervals with maybe some local fog in the mornings and areas with afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms. Most areas are likely to get at least a sprinkle and a few localities could experience a heavy thunderstorm either late Saturday or late Sunday.

It looks like a trend toward fewer cloudy intervals and warmer temperatures should begin Monday afternoon or Tuesday.
