It's been so dry here in Michigan. We got a little yesterday, but not nearly enough.

96 degrees right now, dewpoint hovering at 72, heat index 103. Yuck. We don't get this kind of weather often, and frankly I wish we never did. Anything over about 83/84 is just too hot.

It is so hot here..105 so far. And there hasn't been rain in awhile. I am actually surprised a burn ban hasn't been put into effect.

We're in an extreme drought, yet the knuckleheads in my neighborhood are shooting off more fireworks than ever.

The kids are going out for a splash day with squirt guns, water balloons, etc. Good day for it.

There have been storms for the past couple of days and all kind of reports of downed trees and flooded roads in the Atlanta area, but not a drop here.

Weather news is reporting a storm on I-575 just a mile from me, but still no rain. Lots of thunder though.

They rushed the fireworks because they knew a super storm was blowing in. We all ran to our cars in the rain afterwards.

Supposed to hit 85 -- this is down from recent highs of 106. MAJOR monsoon thunderstorms
expected. Our monsoon storms are USUALLY very fierce and of very short duration. This is
optimal for fireworks (our storms also habituate the afternoon hours at the height of the heat).
.
There are no plans to cancel fireworks as of this moment -- in fact, conditions leading up to
them couldn't be better if we could have planned them.

So it will have washed out all the fireworks displays here in my neighborhood. There was distant thunder but no rain.
