desertwoman , you must be thrilled with your rain of late! (except for the extra weeds)...does the high desert have big wildflower blooms when it happens?

78 degrees with 84% humidity and absolutely no breeze this morning. I’ll water the flowers and try to get a few things done before it gets hot.

Some big old storms blew thru last night. Lots of thunder and lightening and rain. Haven't gon out yet to check on the garden. Luckily it wasn't a windy storm. Hot and humid today with chance of more storms. I need to get some things done in the house,m so if it is miserable out there, I don't mind being inside.

Humidity is back today, though at least it is breezy out there. High 80s later, with that humidity, with possible storms, but we'll see what happens.

does the high desert have big wildflower blooms when it happens? It depends on when the rains come. Sometimes there are wildflowers. Sometimes it is 'just' a carpet of green, which is beautiful too. We are exclaiming "it's so green!" Not the green like most of you have, but green non the less. Everything is subtle in a high desert environment

Forecast for later today and tonight includes deracho type winds up to 90 mph. It’s in S Dakota heading our way. I’ll be going out and moving hanging pots to the ground. Not much we can do beyond that.

I hope you guys in that area are spared the worst of it! Only heat and humidity here, as the rain is fizzling out before it does much here.

Hoping for the best. That system from S Dakota is still heading our way. I don't ever remember heat like this. Northern and Central Iowa is the target, more northern than central. We are kind of North Central.

When the weather alert was posted for our area, I had things that needed done outside. Three hours later, I’m back inside. Just checked the radar map…it’s kinda ugly.

We had the ugly sky, nice wall cloud. It passed over with some wind. Then a little rain, only .02". We got lucky. Many areas had power outages and tree damage.

We had all kinds of severe weather warnings and even a tornado warning last night. Luckily all we got was a whole bunch of rain and thunder.

Lightening and thunder surrounded us last night but not a drop of rain. That's 2 days now without. I was getting use to having it around.
