Happy Birthday USA! Hot Dogs and Fireworks. Just like the founding fathers envisioned.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch. Nature’s fireworks are still on hold as Monsoon 2018 lingers nearby, but not here yet. Lots of sunshine today with what could be the third day in a row with a high of 103. EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING for tomorrow, so be warned, the heat will be excessive with a high of 109ish. East winds kick in tomorrow night with storm chances close to the Metro. We could see a storm, but the official forecast leaves them out, so I will too. Breezy still on Friday with east winds gusting over 30 mph. The good news is the wind is bringing us moisture and scattered storms in the forecast Saturday night into next week. Saturday’s high near 103 with a 20% chance of storms by evening. 30% chance for storms Sunday, Monday and Tuesday with highs of 101, 99 and 99 respectively.
