Saturday night we had severe weather move into the area, downing large trees and powerlines, with Sunday, 22 June, devoted primarily to area clean-up efforts and recovery of services. As such, we had no guests on the run Sunday. Today, 23 June, we also did not have any guests on the run, probably due to the 88 degrees high and heat index North of 100 degrees. The forecast for tomorrow is: "Except for a few afternoon clouds, mainly sunny. A stray shower or thunderstorm is possible. High 86F. Winds W at 5 to 10 mph." Commencing Wednesday, we should start cooling down, with the trend continuing through the weekend.

Tomorrow will be on the chilly side for early June, temperatures in the mid-40s rising to around 60 by noon time, with mostly sunny skies, accompanied by W / SW winds 5-10mph, and very little chance of any precipitation.
