Fingers Crossed

Well, if the forecast is correct, we should be getting some precipitation in Jamestown, New Mexico today and maybe tomorrow.

It had been a relatively dry August, which is unusual for monsoon season. Thunderstorms had been predicted before, but nothing came of it. We did manage a few drops yesterday evening, but that was brief.

It is funny that the day was hot and clear. Then the clouds moved in during the late afternoon.

We sure could use some rain.

But, according to the National Weather Service:

Labor Day
