Our Morning Coffee and Weather

[Mags]

61' and sunny this morning. Supposed to be 100' later. and tomorrow 102'.

About the same here, one last August heat wave before we start getting some normal September temps. I do have the advantage of foothills close by to the East and West so don't get sun until later in the day and it goes down earlier. Kind of a bummer in the Winter though as we only get about 4 hours of sun but actually we get so many temperature inversions here in the Winter that we can go weeks with no sunshine at all.

It'll be interesting to see what Sept brings. All Summer we've had some cooler Sept weather swapping back and forth with hotter July/Aug usual temps.

Scattered sprinkles after 1pm. Increasing clouds, with a high near 67.

Fall has fell. Not even 70 today.
I have a little mowing to finish up and then I just might go down to the lake and do
a little fishing. Our grandson caught 30 sunfish down there a couple of weeks ago.
I have a buckbrush shrub that has a ton of wild grapes on it. I plan to cut it down and
make some grape wine.

Hurricane Erin has exited our area stage right .... don't know of any unanticipated damage from Erin at NC's Outer Banks.

My friend who works on the Ocracoke Ferry posted some pictures on Facebook and the damage is pretty significant. Roads washed out
and homes damaged, but no lives lost that he knows of.

62 this morning with hazy skies. We’ve been very fortunate this summer with very little wildfire smoke. High today in the mid 90’s and by Monday we’ll see the upper 90’s. No triple digits forecast like Mags and dave77 are expecting thankfully!!!

Today is the annual charity sporting clays shoot and our regular team (The Slayers) are participating. It’s always a great time both the shoot and the lunch and door prize drawings after lunch. The prizes are all donated and we buy tickets to enter. The monies raised from the drawings is 100% for the charity (Guide Dogs of America). Prizes always include a couple of firearms and lots of other great goodies.

Yesterday we went up to our neglected property. We took the dogs for a ride in the Ranger up on the timber company property. The roads are getting so overgrown due to lack of use that’s it’s getting impossible even in a utv to get thru. We’re thinking about selling the property as I’m not keeping up on it like I should and we’re not using it like we used to. Plus with the roads so overgrown grouse hunting is getting limited.

Here’s the dogs enjoying a lunch break.

66' and hazy/sunny this morning. A cloud here and there. Supposed to get to 101. I don't think where we are at it'll get that hot here. Yesterday, in town, parking lot air temp reached a 109. Street air temp 104'. In the forest here under the trees 95'.

It'll be interesting to see what Sept brings. All Summer we've had some cooler Sept weather swapping back and forth with hotter July/Aug usual temps.

FWIW, forecast for the first week of Sept is low 80's, hopefully low 80's to mid 70's which is average for the rest of the month.
