For today it was cloudy and cool when I went out but dry then on my way back it started spitting on me and now the sun is out. However the weather icon has rain drops on it, so just have to see.
Originally it was supposed to be low to mid-80s, then they changed the forecast to mid-80's to 90+ (yesterday it was 93). Now I see there's a chance of showers (RAIN????) tomorrow AM and a bit of a cool-down from predicted- bck to mid-80s for the most part.
Like you say, just have to wait and see.

Yup, that sounds just like here.
Weather people last night said today is a transition day which means wet to dry and that dry is suppose to last until next Tuesday. That bad on that is a number of areas in BC are now under flood watch. This warm will bring snow melt that is already delayed hence the flood watches for certain rivers.

Out for my walk in a bit. Bit of grocery shopping to do.
I am almost finished with my 2 week mouth rinse of salt water. That is good because I have forgotten a couple of times in the last couple of days. All stitches out and nice healthy skin in the area.

Glad that you're healing up w/o complication, BRENDA! If all of the stitches are gone and the gums are healed over you can prolly stop rinsing, but it's good that you're diligent.

Speaking of CRAZY weather...
It's now 11AM. Since about 2AM we've had four nearly-rainless VIOLENT lightning storms roll thru. I don't know what going on in the atmo, but the bolts are heavy and long and the thunder - which booms on and on - sometimes shakes the house. As the storms pass overhead, they rain for maybe a minute... not enough to even break tree canopies... but, Oh my word! The LIGHTNING! The THUNDER! Unheard-of, for LA!!
And of course the dog trots around the house panting and barking bc she's not used to thunder, has no idea what it is. But the weather at ground level is still, warm, and humid. Very mild. So all of the drama is going on in the (low) clouds above our head. Since we're not getting any gusting (air that has risen, cooled, and dropped back to earth with a THUD!) or much rain, my guess is that we're getting very little vertical air movement but maybe a tremendous wind shear* overhead. (*Two layers of air moving rapidly past each other in different directions.)
Weird, is what it is.
Not taking the dog out for any long walks while the storms are overhead, I don't want to get struck by lightning!

Come to think of it .. "dry lightning" causes a lot of wildfires across the west and into BC. So I guess it's not a weird as I thought, it just doesn't happen here very often.

Yeah, I healed up fine but since the dentist wasn't sure that's why the 2 weeks thing. I like being careful.
That is some crazy weather you got happening around you, SIG.
Certain areas of BC can get lots of dry lighting and that also contributes to wild fires that happen in province. In fact the weather map last night on the news was covered in lighting symbols for the Interior as well as rain.
Glad you are staying indoors and safe with the pooch.
Weather by me is nice, dry and sunny. Sitting at around 66F. Not overly warm but just nice.

Both elevators were out this morning which means I had to walk down the stairs to get out. At least one is working now as I came back up in it.
Man, I will be so glad when the repair guys are finished. That should in theory be tomorrow. I just hope I don't have to walk down the stairs again to get out to go to mah jong.

Well, I'm glad for your sake that they're being taken care of, and I will be even happier for you when they're finally done!

They have been. Think they started in April. They are being upgraded. They replaced one car and the other one is just electrical work from what I can gather.
Me too. I'm sure the last time the elevators had this much work on them would have been long before I moved in. So will I.
