Currently, it is 83/77oF, with fog. Welcome to Arkansas in July. It's amazing what a few days of torrential rain showers, followed by sunny, clear weather can do. Opening the blinds in the house this morning was interesting - every single window in our (rather aged) house was steamed up on the outside.
As a side note - these past few days' storms have been some of the most electrically charged that it has been my privilege to experience. It never ceases to amaze me how you can never tell what characteristics convective storms are going to have until they happen. Benign-looking on radar, these storms were monsters. Slow-moving, flooding, hurricane-esque monsters with teeth of blue-white bolts. Monday's storms that moved into the Conway area around 5:30PM shattered the mind and strafed the eye with repeated CGs - and they were close. Something got struck in our back yard - and I'm not exaggerating that. It was in our back yard. We were in the kitchen fixing dinner when it occurred - and we had no time to react before the concussion hit us as fast (or slightly faster) than the comparatively-puny flash. It was as though someone had fired cannon in our dining room.
Guess I should just be thankful that our dog really doesn't care about such phenomenon. I think she was the calmest of the lot of us.
